Hi ;-)

2x ⇒ dogs

5x ⇒ cats

2x + 5x = 14

7x = 14 / : 7

x = 2

2 · 2 = <u>4 dogs</u>

5 · 2 = <u>10 cats</u>

Answer:

The choice C.

$12 \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$( \frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{3} ) \times {5}^{2} + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ ( \frac{12}{15} - \frac{5}{15} ) \times 25 + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ ( \frac{12 - 5}{15} ) \times 25 + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ ( \frac{7}{15} ) \times 25 + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ \frac{35}{3} + \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ \frac{70}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{75}{6} \\ \\ = \frac{25}{2} = 12 \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

b. 42 people

Step-by-step explanation:

For each foreigner living in the U.S., there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are naturalized citizens, or they are not. The probability of a foreigner living in the U.S. not being a naturalized citizen is independent from other foreigners living in the U.S. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
