Assume the following:
Brad has been in the soccer team for b years.
Scot has been in the soccer team for s years.
"The number of years that brad has been on the soccer team is 2 less than 5 times the number of years that Scott has"
means: b=5s-2
"in total,the boys have been on the soccer team for 10 years."
means: b+s=10
so we have the equations:
i) b=5s-2
ii) b+s=10
substitute b in ii) with 5s-2, as they are equal, from i
(5s-2)+s=10
5s-2+s=10
6s=12
s=2,
then , from b+s=10, b=8
Answer: Brad has been in the team for 8 years.
Answer:
(a)4
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would distribute the 2 within the parentheses and it becomes 14n-46 <= 14-16n. Then you would find the smallest coeficent and do the inverse operation so you would have to add 16n to 14n and get 30n. Your equation is now 30n-46<=14. Now you want to isolate the variable by doing the inverse operation of -46. You would then add 46 to positive 14 and get 60. Your eqaution now is 30n<=60. Your last step is to divide 30 on each side which leaves you with n<=2.
2 is less than or equal to 2
-2 is less than or equal to 2
-4 is less than or equal to 2
4 is NOT less than or equal to 2 it is GREATER
Hopefully, that helps.
Answer:
0.67% probability he will have to shut down after this month
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given time interval.
On average sells 8.9 machines per month.
So 
Using the Poisson distribution, what is the probability he will have to shut down after this month
If he sells less than 3 machines.
0.67% probability he will have to shut down after this month
