Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf  5\ red\ pencils}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pencils = 30

Probability of picking a red = 1/6

Red pencils in the box = probability × total pencils

= 1/6 × 30

= 5 red pencils

So, there are 5 red pencils in the box.

What is the value of a when we rewrite 15^x as a^x/6
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a = 11,390,625.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^x/6 =  (a^1/6)^x  

(a^1/6)^x = 15^x  so:

a^1/6 = 15

1/6 ln a = ln 15

ln a = 6 ln 15

ln a = 16.2483

a = 11390625.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the proportion of applicants that fail the test is (0.025, 0.067).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

560 random tests conducted, 26 employees failed the test. This means that n = 560, \pi = \frac{26}{560} = 0.046

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.33.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.046 - 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.046*0.954}{560}} = 0.025

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.046 + 2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.046*0.954}{560}} = 0.067

The 98% confidence interval for the proportion of applicants that fail the test is (0.025, 0.067).

Solve for the value of x: x/2 + x/3 = 2x/5 + 3 , also I need a very thorough explanation for this.
Alona [7]

Answer:

x=\frac{90}{13} .

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{2} +\frac{x}{3} =\frac{2x}{5} +3;

30*(\frac{x}{2} +\frac{x}{3} )=30*(\frac{2x}{5} +3);

15x+10x=12x+90; ⇔ 13x=90;

x=\frac{90}{13}.
