Answer:

28 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

From this, you already know that 2/7 of x is equal to 8 pounds (x being the actual weight of the package). the equation would be 2/7(x)=8 to simplify this, you divide both sides by 2/7. x=8/2/7. this is the same as x=8*7/2 which is x=56/2. so your finale answer is 28 because 56/2 is 28!

A sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to

Archy [21]

Answer:

0.2916, 0.1488, 0.0319

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to have oil added.

Since each trial is independent there is a constant probability for any random car to need oil is 0.10

Let X be the number of cars that need oil

A) Here X is BIN(4,0.1)

$P(X=1) = 4C1(0.1)(0.9)^3 \\= 0.2916$
