Answer: x = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation: i dont want to explain the math i did because it already took up too much time. but im pretty sure that its the right answer. after i got 0.6, i plugged it back into the equation to check and it worked

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 17 = 1/2[(73x + 5) - (23x - 5)]

5x + 17 = 1/2[37x + 5 - 23x + 5]

5x + 17 = 1/2[14x + 10]

5x + 17 = 1/2 * 2(7x + 5)

5x + 17 = 7x + 5

5x - 17x = 5 - 17

-12x = - 12

x = - 12/-12

x = 1

Twenty percent of drivers driving between 10 pm and 3 am are drunken drivers. In a random sample of 12 drivers driving between 1

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

(a) 0.28347

(b) 0.36909

(d) 0.9806

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

n=12

p = 20% = 0.2

q = 1-p = 1-0.2 = 0.8

Binomial formula:

$P(x=r)=^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}$

(a) Exactly two will be drunken drivers.

$P(x=2)=^{12}C_{2}(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{12-2}$

$P(x=2)=66(0.2)^{2}(0.8)^{10}$

$P(x=2)=\approx 0.28347$

Therefore, the probability that exactly two will be drunken drivers is 0.28347.

(b)Three or four will be drunken drivers.

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)\cup P(x=4)$

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=P(x=3)+P(x=4)$

Using binomial we get

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=^{12}C_{3}(0.2)^{3}(0.8)^{12-3}+^{12}C_{4}(0.2)^{4}(0.8)^{12-4}$

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)=0.236223+0.132876$

$P(x=3\text{ or }x=4)\approx 0.369099$

Therefore, the probability that three or four will be drunken drivers is 0.3691.

(c)

At least 7 will be drunken drivers.

$P(x\geq 7)=1-P(x$

$P(x\leq 7)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)+P(x=6)]$

$P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315+0.0155]$

$P(x\leq 7)=1-[0.9961]$

$P(x\leq 7)=0.0039$

Therefore, the probability of at least 7 will be drunken drivers is 0.0039.

(d) At most 5 will be drunken drivers.

$P(x\leq 5)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)+P(x=5)$

$P(x\leq 5)=0.06872+0.20616+0.28347+0.23622+0.13288+0.05315$

$P(x\leq 5)=0.9806$

Therefore, the probability of at most 5 will be drunken drivers is 0.9806.

Answer the Question below (45 points)

iren [92.7K]

3x-5=-6x+13 : Given

3x=-6x+18 : Addition property of Equality

9x=18: Subtraction property of Equality

x=2: Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to give justification to each step

Step 1:

3x-5=-6x+13

This is the question given, which we need to solve and find value of x.

Justification: Given

Step 2:

Adding 5 on both sides of the equation using addition property of equality.

3x-5+5=-6x+13+5

Simplifying

3x=-6x+18

Justification: Addition property of Equality

Step 3:

Adding 6x on both sides of the equation

3x+6x=-6x+18+6x

9x=18

Justification: Subtraction property of Equality

Step 4:

Divide both sides of the equation by 9, to find the value of x using division property of equality

9x/9=18/9

x=2

Justification: Division Property of Equality
