For a probability distribution the expected value is the summation of product of probabilities with their respective data values. Let x be the probability that Jackson goes gym for 2 days and y be the probability that he goes gym for 3 days.
For the given case we have following values and their probabilities:
0 : 0.1
2 : x
3 : y
So the expected value will be = 0(0.1) + 2(x) + 3(y)
Expected value is given to be 2.05. So we can write the equation as:
2x + 3y = 2.05 (Equation 1)
Also for a probability distribution, the sum of probabilities must always equal to 1. So we can set up the second equation as:
0.1 + x + y = 1
x + y = 0.9 (Equation 2)
From Equation 2 we can write the value of x to be x = 0.9 - y. Using this value in equation 1, we get:
2(0.9 - y) + 3y = 2.05
1.8 - 2y + 3y = 2.05
1.8 + y = 2.05
y = 0.25
Using the value of y in equation 2 we get value of x to be 0.65
Therefore we can conclude that:
The probability that Jackson goes to gym for 2 days is 0.65 and the probability that he goes to gym for 3 days is 0.25
Number Line A, well the first number line.
The open circle shows us that -5 is NOT in the solution. All the numbers greater than -5 ( x > -5) are in the solution.

Answer:
- Andre subtracted 3x from both sides
- Diego subtracted 2x from both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Andre</u>
Comparing the result of Andre's work with the original, we see that the "3x" term on the right is missing, and the x-term on the left is 3x less than it was. It is clear that Andre subtracted 3x from both sides of the equation.
__
<u>Diego</u>
Comparing the result of Diego's work with the original, we see that the "2x" term on the left is missing, and the x-term on the right is 2x less than it was. It is clear that Diego subtracted 2x from both sides of the equation.

<em>Comment on their work</em>
IMO, Diego has the right idea, as his result leaves the x-term with a positive coefficient. He can add 8 and he's finished, having found that x=14.
Andre can subtract 6 to isolate the variable term, and that will give him -x=-14. This requires another step to get to x=14. Sometimes minus signs get lost, so this would not be my preferred sequence of steps.
As a rule, I like to add the opposite of the variable term with the least (most negative) coefficient. This results in the variable having a positive coefficient, making errors easier to avoid.
The correct question is
<span>Zach keeps his pet chameleon Pinky in a terrarium with the dimensions 8 x 20. There are three inches of sand in the bottom of the terrarium. Zach gets a new terrarium that is larger. The base of the new terrarium is 10 x 24 inches. Zach moved the existing sand to the new terrarium. How deep will the sand be in the new terrarium?
</span>
Step 1
find the volume of sand
volume of sand=8*20*3------------>Volume of sand=480 in³
Volume of sand in the new terrarium=10*24*h
where h------------> is the deep in the new terrarium
remember that the volume of sand is the same
so
10*24*h=480----------> h=480/(10*24)-----------> h=2 in
the answer is 2 in
