Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mai:

She subtracted 5x instead of distributing. This is incorrect, because since it is in ( ), it has to be multiplied by 3.

Correct: 3(5x + 9) = 15x + 27

12x + 3 = 15x + 27

Noah:

Added 15x instead of subtracting. This is incorrect, because to combine like terms on each side you would add a negative number and subtract a positive number.

Correct: 12x + 3 = 15x + 27

12x - 15x = 27 - 3

-3x = 24

x = 24 / -3

x = -8

In a recent​ year, an author wrote 171 checks. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability​ that, on a randomly selecte
sveticcg [70]

Answer: 0.3741

Step-by-step explanation:

Poison probability ;

P(x) = [U(^x) e(^-U)] ÷ x!

Where U = mean

Note: e = exponential symbol

Number of checks that year = 171

Number of days in a year = 365

U = 171/365 = 0.468

Average checks per day = 0.4685

Probability that at least one check was written per day is can be calculated by;

P(not 0) = 1 - P(0)

Therefore,

P(x) = [U(^x) e(^-U)] ÷ x!

P(0) = [ 0.4685^0 * e^-0.4685] ÷ 0!

P(0) = [ 1 * 0.6259] ÷ 1

P(0) = 0.6259

Therefore,

P(not 0) = 1 - 0.6259 = 0.3741

Can someone please help me with this problem
Helen [10]

Answer:

  yellow area ≈ 48.3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the yellow region is the difference between the area of a square with side length 15 cm and the area of a quarter circle with radius 15 cm. It is helpful to know the formulas for area for a square and a circle.

  Area of the square = s² = (15 cm)² = 225 cm²

The area of the full circle is ...

  Area of circle = πr² = π(15 cm)² = 225π cm²

Then the area of 1/4 of that circle will be ...

  Area of quarter circle = (225π cm²)/4 = 56.25π cm²

--

The difference of these areas is the yellow area:

  yellow area = 225 cm² - 56.25π cm² ≈ 48.2854 cm²

  yellow area ≈ 48.3 cm²
