When an opinion poll selects cell phone numbers at random to dial, the cell phone exchange is first selected and then random dig

its are added to form a complete telephone number. When using this procedure to generate random cell phone numbers, approximately 55%55% of the cell numbers generated correspond to working numbers. You watch a pollster dial 1515cell numbers that have been selected in this manner.
What is the mean number of calls that reach a working cell number?

Answer:

c. 8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario corresponds to binomial experiment because

1. There are two possible outcomes i.e. each number can be working or not working.

2. On each dialing the probability of getting working cell number is p=0.55.

3. Cell phone numbers are randomly dialed so these are independent.

4. A pollster dialed 15 cell numbers i.e. n=15.

The mean number of calls that reach a working cell number can be calculated by computing mean of binomial distribution using the given information.

Mean of binomial distribution=E(x)=np

The mean number of calls that reach a working cell number=15*0.55=8.25

Thus, the mean number of calls that reach a working cell number=8.25

\frac{1}{5}k-9=\frac{3}{5}k-7
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

let start by multiplying both sides by the LCD of all denominators, in this case that'd be 5, to do away with the denominators.


\bf \cfrac{1}{5}k-9=\cfrac{3}{5}k-7\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying by }\stackrel{LCD}{5}}{5\left( \cfrac{1}{5}k-9 \right)=5\left( \cfrac{3}{5}k-7 \right)}\implies k-45=3k-35 \\\\\\ -45=2k-35\implies -10=2k\implies \cfrac{-10}{2}=k\implies -5=k

Need help with 5 pleaseeee
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

3.  37°, 37°, and 106°

Step-by-step explanation:

I am doing #3 as shown in the picture.

Isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 sides same and their opposite angles same. Those angles are congruent and called base angles. The remaining angle is the vertex angle.

We let each of the base angles as "b" and the vertex angle as "v".

Now,

Vertex Angle is 5 less than 3 times one of the base angles, we can write:

v = 3b - 5

We also know that 3 angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so we can write:

v + b + b = 180

v + 2b = 180

(3b - 5) + 2b = 180

We have replaced "v" with the first equation and created an equation in "b". So now we can solve for b:

(3b - 5) + 2b = 180\\3b-5+2b=180\\5b=180+5\\5b=185\\b=\frac{185}{5}\\b=37

Now, finding v:

v = 3b - 5

v = 3(37) - 5

v = 106

Thus, the three angles of the triangle are:

37°, 37°, and 106°
