I think it would be D. because when you switch the number to the other side you need to switch it from positive/negative in this case it would change to a positive because it's negative and you would keep the sign the way as it is. Hope I helped! :)

3 - 2a > 7
We need to solve for a

First, let's subtract 3 on both sides to have the variables on a side and the numbers on another side:
3 - 2a > 7
3 - 2a - 3 > 7 - 3
- 2a > 4

Let's divide both sides by -2 to have a on side and its value on the other side:
-2a > 4
(-2a)/(-2) > (4/-2)
a < -2 (In a case of an inequality, we change the sign when we divide by a negative number to its opposite).

So 3 - 2a > 7 when a < -2 (answer c)

Hope this helps! :D

According to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mou

VikaD [51]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

$P(X = 8) = 0.0037$

$P(X < 5) = 0.805$

$P(X > 6) = 0.0206$

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is $p = 0.267$

Generally data collected from this study follows binomial distribution because the number of trials is finite , there are only two outcomes, (covering , and not covering mouth when sneezing ) , the trial are independent

Hence for a randomly selected variable X we have that

$X \ \ \~ \ \ { B ( p , n )}$

The probability distribution function for binomial distribution is

$P(X = x ) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 -p) ^{n-x}$

Considering question a

Generally the the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals exactly 8 do not cover their mouth when sneezing is mathematically represented as

$P(X = 8) = ^{12} C_8 * (0.267)^8 * (1- 0.267)^{12-8}$

Here C denotes combination

$P(X = 8) = 495 * 0.000025828 * 0.28867947$

$P(X = 8) = 0.0037$

Considering question b

Generally the probability that among 12 randomly observed individuals fewer than 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing is mathematically represented as

$P(X < 5 ) =[P(X = 0 ) + \cdots + P(X = 4)]$

=> $P(X < 5 ) =[ ^{12} C_0 * (0.267)^0 * (1- 0.267)^{12-0} + \cdots + ^{12} C_4 * (0.267)^4 * (1- 0.267)^{12-4} ]$

=> $P(X < 5 ) = 0.02406 + 0.10516 + 0.21067 + 0.25580 + 0.20964$

=> $P(X < 5) = 0.805$

Considering question c

Generally the probability that fewer than half(6) covered their mouth when sneezing(i.e the probability the greater than half do not cover their mouth when sneezing) is mathematically represented as

$P(X > 6) = 1 - p(X \le 6)$

=> $P(X > 6) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + \cdots + P(X =6)]$

=> $P(X > 6)=1 - [^{12} C_0 * (0.267)^0 * (1- 0.267)^{12-0}+ \cdots + ^{12} C_4 * (0.267)^6 * (1- 0.267)^{12-6} ]$

=> $P(X > 6)= 1 - [0.02406 + \cdots + 0.0519 ]$

=> $P(X > 6) = 0.0206$

I would be surprised because the value is very small , less the 0.05

Kylie plays softball on the merrick valley team she hits one out of every six balls pitched to her.if 32 balls have been pitched

Ganezh [65]

If 32 is divided by 6, the answer is 5.3. However because she cannot hit part of a ball, the number would be 5. Therefore, she would hit 5 out of 32 balls.

How do I solve this???

You need to split the shape into two then measure the shapes like trapezoids use a+b/2(h) for the formula
