Answer:
The expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week is 5.22
Step-by-step explanation:
For each client, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is a sales contract, or there is not. The probability of having a sale contract with each client is independent of other clients. 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:
In this problem, we have that:
What is the expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week?
The expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week is 5.22
The problem can be translated into an equation that is something like 4/5 + 3/x = 1/2
we cannot have x equal to zero because the number can be infinite.
So the LCD here is 10x, so multiply both sides by that to get:
8x + 30 = 5x
Subtract 5x and 30 from both sides:
3x = -30
divide:
x = -10
The solution isn't zero so there is a solution.
Answer:
30 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the length of the ladder. Then, x cos(60) = 15
If we divide both sides by cos(60), then x = 30 feet.
Answer:
-36,-192
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
SR = ST ⇒ Two sides are equal. So, ΔSRT is an isosceles triangle.
The angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
⇒ ∠STR = ∠R
∠STR = 4x - 28
Linear pair: If a ray stands on a line, then the adjacent angles are supplementary and they are called linear pair
∠STR + ∠STU = 180° {linear pair}
4x - 28 + 9x = 180
4x + 9x - 28 = 180 {Combine like terms}
13x- 28 = 180
Add 28 to both the sides
13x = 180 + 28
13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13
x = 208/13
