Yo solve....14√x+15 = 71
user100 [1]

Answer:

plug in 16 for x

14√x+15 = 71

14√x+15-15 = 71-15 = 56

14√x/14 = 56/14 = 4

√x^2 = 4^2 = 16

According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries
blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that p = 0.051

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that n = 6

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

We want P(X \geq 1)

Then

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

He is paid a commission of 9 percent of his first $6,000 in sales during the month and 14 percent on all sales over $6,000. What
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

  $1,956.80

Step-by-step explanation:

For amounts over $6000, the commission can be computed as ...

  0.14s -300 . . . . . . for sales (s) ≥ 6000

So, for $16,120 in sales, the commission is ...

  0.14×$16,120 -300 = $2,256.80 -300 = $1,956.80

__

The commission schedule suggests that for larger amounts, you divide the problem into two parts: calculate the commission on $6000, and separately calculate the commission on the amount over $6000.

  0.14(s -6000) + 0.09(6000)

  = 0.14s - 0.14·6000 +0.09·6000

  = 0.14s -300 . . . . the formula used above for s ≥ 6000

−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7<br> What is the 2 answers for this question
loris [4]
The two possible answers are w = 3 and w = -1/5

These answers can be obtained through solving to the absolute value symbols. 

<span>−2∣5w−7∣+9=−7 ---> subtract 9 from both sides
</span><span>−2∣5w−7∣= -16 ---> divide both sides by -2
</span>∣5w−7∣= 8

Now, because of the absolute value symbols, set the inside equal to 8 and -8 for the two answers. 

5w - 7 = 8
5w = 15
w = 3

AND

5w - 7 = -8
5w = -1
w = -1/5
