Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: You are not doing 3(-2) to get -6. That's incorrect. What you are supposed to do is multiply the base which is 3 and then multiply it with -2 so that would 3(3) twice and don't forget the negative in front of the two so that would be -9 as the correct answer. :)

112-88 = 24

they save $24 per month

so 650/24 = 27.083

so it will pay for itself in 27.083 months, round up to 28 months

Consider the probability that at least 93 out of 154 CDs will not be defective. Assume the probability that a given CD will not

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.5962

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

p = 61% = 0.61

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.61 = 0.39

n = 154 ; x = 93

Using the binomial probability formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

P(x>=93) = p(x=93)+p(x=94)+...+p(x=n)

P(x>= 93) = 0.59619

P(x>= 93) = 0.5962

Jeffrey calculated the slope between two pairs of points. He found that the slope between -5, 6 and -3, 2 is -2. He also found t

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Jeffrey is correct

All of these points are on the same line because the slope between (-3,2) and( 0,-4), which are coordinates from each of the pairs above, is equal to -2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope between -5, 6 and -3, 2

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{2-6}{-3+5}$

$m=\frac{-4}{2}=-2$

step 2

Find the slope between (-1, -2) and (0, -4)

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-4+2}{0+1}$

$m=\frac{-2}{1}=-2$

step 3

Find the slope between (-3, 2) and (0, -4)

substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-4-2}{0+3}$

$m=\frac{-6}{3}=-2$

therefore

Jeffrey is correct

All of these points are on the same line because the slope between (-3,2) and( 0,-4), which are coordinates from each of the pairs above, is equal to -2

Solve for p.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

p = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5p - 10 = + 4(1 + 3p)

first get rid of the bracquetes:

5p - 10 = + 4*1 + 4*3p

5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p

subtract left and right of = sign by 5p

5p -5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p -5p

0 - 10 = + 4 + (12p -5p)

subtract left and right of = sign by 4

-10 -4 = 4 -4 + ( 7p )

re arrange

7p + 0 = -14

divide left and right of = sign by 7

7/7 p = -14/7

p = -2
