Answer:

-2,  (-5 is extraneous)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming √(x+6) -4 =x

√(x+6) = x+4

square both side

x+6 = (x+4)^2

x+6 = x^2+8x+16

x^2+7x+10=0

(x+2)(x+5) = 0

x = -2, -5

put -5 back into org equation and it is not true

√(-5+6) -4 ≠ -5

A spinner and 6 cards are shown below:
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1 over 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The spinner has 3 segments and he spun it 1 time.  So, he has a 1 in 3 chance of landing on green.

There are 6 cards so he has a 1 and 6 chance of picking up the yellow card.    

Multiply those and you have 1 over 18

Done!

A computer can be classified as either cutting dash edge or ancient. Suppose that 94​% of computers are classified as ancient. ​
taurus [48]

Answer:

(a) 0.8836

(b) 0.6096

(c) 0.3904

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a computer can be classified as either cutting dash edge or ancient. Suppose that 94​% of computers are classified as ancient.

(a) <u>Two computers are chosen at random.</u>

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 2 computers

            r = number of success = both 2

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

                  that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

<em>LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient​</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=2, p=0.94)

Now, Probability that both computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 2)

       P(X = 2)  = \binom{2}{2}\times 0.94^{2} \times (1-0.94)^{2-2}

                      = 1 \times 0.94^{2} \times 1

                      = 0.8836

(b) <u>Eight computers are chosen at random.</u>

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

            r = number of success = all 8

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of computers

                  that are classified as ancient, i.e; 0.94

<em>LET X = Number of computers that are classified as ancient</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.94)

Now, Probability that all eight computers are ancient is given by = P(X = 8)

       P(X = 8)  = \binom{8}{8}\times 0.94^{8} \times (1-0.94)^{8-8}

                      = 1 \times 0.94^{8} \times 1

                      = 0.6096

(c) <u>Here, also 8 computers are chosen at random.</u>

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 computers

            r = number of success = at least one

           p = probability of success which is now the % of computers

                  that are classified as cutting dash edge, i.e; p = (1 - 0.94) = 0.06

<em>LET X = Number of computers classified as cutting dash edge</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.06)

Now, Probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge is given by = P(X \geq 1)

       P(X \geq 1)  = 1 - P(X = 0)

                      =  1 - \binom{8}{0}\times 0.06^{0} \times (1-0.06)^{8-0}

                      = 1 - [1 \times 1 \times 0.94^{8}]

                      = 1 - 0.94^{8} = 0.3904

Here, the probability that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge​ is 0.3904 or 39.04%.

For any event to be unusual it's probability is very less such that of less than 5%. Since here the probability is 39.04% which is way higher than 5%.

So, it is not unusual that at least one of eight randomly selected computers is cutting dash edge.

If f(x) is the total cost, in dollars, of x candles, which of the following statements best describes the meaning of f(2)=6
nevsk [136]

Answer: A) The total cost of 2 candies is $6.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the question is incomplete,  options are :

A) The total cost of 2 candies is $6.00. B) The total cost of 6 candies is $2.00. C) The total cost of 2 candies is $3.00. D) The total cost of 3 candies is $2.00.  

So, to answer this question we have to analyze the function given:

f(2)=6

Since the input value x (number of candles) is 2, and the output (cost in dollars ) is $6, the correct option is :

A) The total cost of 2 candies is $6.00.
