Answer:

<h2><u><em>P = 16</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>C = 24-P = 8</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Heads: P + C = 24

C = 24 - P

Legs: 4P + 2C = 80

Substitute, from heads: 4P + 2 (24 - P) = 80

4P + 48 - 2P = 80

2P = 32

<u><em>P = 16</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>C = 24-P = 8</em></u>

====================

Check:

P + C = 16 + 8 = 24

4P + 2C = 4(16) + 2(8) = 64 + 16 = 80

The United States Postal Service reports 95% of first-class mail within the same city is delivered within two days of the time o
choli [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution because the outcome is either a randomly selected first-class mail within the same city is delivered within two days of the time of mailing or more days. The probability of success, p is that it is delivered within 2 days. Therefore,

p = 95/100 = 0.95

q(probability of success) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

n = number of samples = 6

1)The probability that all six arrive within two days, P(x = 6) would be determined from the binomial probability distribution calculator. Therefore,

P(x = 6) = 0.74

2) P(x = 5) = 0.23

3) mean = np = 6 × 0.95 = 5.7

4) Variance = npq = 6 × 0.95 × 0.05 = 0.285

Standard deviation = √0.285 = 0.53

where
x is the number of leg press reps
y is the time it takes to do a 40 yard dash

For 22 leg press reps"
y = 0.1073(22) + 4.5365
y = 6.8963 s
