Answer:

-124

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 14 (×3) → 9x + 6y = 42

- → x = -18

5x + 3y = 12 (×2) → 10x + 6y = 24

3(-18) + 2y = 14

-54 + 2y = 14 → 2y = 14 + 54 = 68 → y = 68/2 = 34

5x - y = 5(-18) - 34 = -90 - 34 = -124

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4b+5=t

First, you must get the variable alone! Substract 5 from both sides!

4b<u>+5=t </u>

-5 -5

The 5 cancels out because 5-5=0

The new equation is 4b=t-5

You must divide by 4 to get the variable alone since your solving for b!

4 4

b= $\frac{t-5}{4} \\$

This is your answer!

At an airport, 76% of recent flights have arrived on time. A sample of 11 flights is studied. Find the probability that no more

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The probability is $P( X \le 4 ) = 0.0054$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The percentage that are on time is p = 0.76

The sample size is n = 11

Generally the percentage that are not on time is

$q = 1- p$

$q = 1- 0.76$

$q = 0.24$

The probability that no more than 4 of them were on time is mathematically represented as

$P( X \le 4 ) = P(1 ) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4)$

=> $P( X \le 4 ) = \left n } \atop {}} \right.C_1 p^{1} q^{n- 1} + \left n } \atop {}} \right.C_2p^{2} q^{n- 2} + \left n } \atop {}} \right.C_3 p^{3} q^{n- 3} + \left n } \atop {}} \right.C_4 p^{4} q^{n- 4}$

$P( X \le 4 ) = \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_1 p^{1} q^{11- 1} + \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_2p^{2} q^{11- 2} + \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_3 p^{3} q^{11- 3} + \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_4 p^{4} q^{11- 4}$

$P( X \le 4 ) = \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_1 p^{1} q^{10} + \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_2p^{2} q^{9} + \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_3 p^{3} q^{8} + \left 11 } \atop {}} \right.C_4 p^{4} q^{7}$

$= \frac{11! }{ 10! 1!} (0.76)^{1} (0.24)^{10} + \frac{11!}{9! 2!} (0.76)^2 (0.24)^{9} + \frac{11!}{8! 3!} (0.76)^{3} (0.24)^{8} + \frac{11!}{7!4!} (0.76)^{4} (0.24)^{7}$
