Answer:

i think her inference i invalid

Step-by-step explanation:

i think this because she only surveyed a very small population of the seventh graders and the more data the more accurate your prediction will be. Hope that helps.

Without actually writing the formula, explain how to expand (x + 3)7 using the binomial theorem.
dusya [7]

To write the coefficients of the 8 terms, either start with a combination of 7 things taken 0 at a time and continue to 7 things taken 7 at a time or use the 7th row of Pascal’s triangle.


For the first term, write x to the 7th power and 3 to the 0 power. Then decrease the power on x and increase the power on y until you reach x to the 0 and y to the 7.


Simplify by evaluating the coefficients and powers of 3.

The​ life, in​ years, of a certain type of electrical switch has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44. If 100 o
Bond [772]

Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.

If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by

\bf P(X

So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is

\bf P(X

Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.

Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and  

\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}

where  

\bf \binom{100}{k} equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.

The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is

\bf \sum_{k=0}^{15}\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}=0.9999

Jake made a total of 7 copies at a copy shop, with some being black-and-white copies and some being color copies. Black-and-whit
Arada [10]
Jake spent a total of 70 cents.
b = black-and-white = 8 cents
c = color = 15 cents

70 = 8b + 15c

he made a total of 7 copies
b + c = 7

system of equation:
70 = 8b + 15c
b + c = 7

--------------------------

b + c = 7
b + c (-c) = 7 (-c)
b = 7 - c

plug in 7 - c for b

70 = 8(7 - c) + 15c
Distribute the 8 to both 7 and - c (distributive property)

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
Simplify like terms

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
70 = 56 + 7c

Isolate the c, do the opposite of PEMDAS: Subtract 56 from both sides

70 (-56) = 56 (-56) + 7c
14 = 7c

divide 7 from both sides to isolate the c

14 = 7c
14/7 = 7c/7
 c = 14/7
 c = 2

c = 2
---------------

Now that you know what c equals (c = 2), plug in 2 for c in one of the equations.
b + c = 7
c = 2
<em>b + (2) = 7
</em><em />Find b by isolating it. subtract 2 from both sides
b + 2 = 7
b + 2 (-2) = 7 (-2)
b = 7 - 2
b = 5

Jake made 5 black-and-white copies, and 2 color copies

hope this helps

In the rectangular prism below, the length of MR is 8 inches, the length of RS is 9 inches, and the length of ST is 12 inches.
Sever21 [200]
Unfortunately, there's no diagram here!  But the prism is described as "rectangular."  Thus, the volume is simply (length)(width)(height) cubic inches.  Multiply: (8 inches)(9 inches)(12 inches).
