Answer:
m + n = 15
m - 3 = n
The numbers are 9 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that
m + n = 15 ..... (1)
Also, from the question,
One number is three less than the other,
Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that
m - 3 = n ...... (2)
If desired, we can determine m and n
From equation (1)
m + n = 15
Then,
m = 15 - n ...... (3)
Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)
m - 3 = n
Then
15 - n - 3 = n
15 - 3 = n + n
12 = 2n
n = 12/2
∴ n = 6
For m, put the value of n into equation 3
m = 15 - n
m = 15 - 6
m = 9
∴ m = 9 and n = 6
Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6
Answer:
P (X ≤ 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The binomial probability formula can be used to find the probability of a binomial experiment for a specific number of successes. It <em>does not</em> find the probability for a <em>range</em> of successes, as in this case.
The <em>range</em> "x≤4" means x = 0 <em>or</em> x = 1 <em>or </em>x = 2 <em>or</em> x = 3 <em>or</em> x = 4, so there are five different probability calculations to do.
To to find the total probability, we use the addition rule that states that the probabilities of different events can be added to find the probability for the entire set of events only if the events are <em>Mutually Exclusive</em>. The outcomes of a binomial experiment are mutually exclusive for any value of x between zero and n, as long as n and p don't change, so we're allowed to add the five calculated probabilities together to find the total probability.
The probability that x ≤ 4 can be written as P (X ≤ 4) or as P (X = 0 or X = 1 or X = 2 or X = 3 or X = 4) which means (because of the addition rule) that P(x ≤ 4) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P (x = 2) + P (x = 3) + P (x = 4)
Therefore, the probability of x<4 successes is P (X ≤ 4)

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>
Isabella’s rain gauge showed 3 4/5 centimeters (cm) last Tuesday. This Tuesday, the rain gauge showed 5 7/10 centimeters. How many more centimeters of rain fell during the week?
A 9 1/2cm B 8 1/2cm c 2 4/5cm D 1 9/10 cm
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
Option D
more centimeters of rain fell during this week than last week
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
From given,
Also given that,
<em><u>How many more centimeters of rain fell during the week?</u></em>
Thus more centimeters of rain fell during this week than last week
