Answer:

b. the number of trucks a weigh station will inspect before finding one that is overloaded.

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric distribution is a type of probability distribution that done repeatedly until the first success is observed.

Option b expresses a distribution that has one single success. The weighing of the trucks continues until one that is overloaded is found. This implies that the weighing would stop when the first overloaded truck is found, which is a form of geometric distribution.

Option a does not require a single outcome because more than one, or even none,  could reach the top of Mount Everest in the year.

Answer: C

both a and b

Step-by-step explanation:

Both options A and B deals with the number of trials required for a single success. Thus, they are negative binomial distribution where the number of successes (r) is equal to 1.

The geometric distribution is a special case of the negative binomial  distribution that deals with the number of trials required for a single success.

Sarah received \$55$55dollar sign, 55 for her birthday. She used some of that money to buy 333 shirts priced at mmm dollars each
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$(55-3m) is the amount of money she has left

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to give an expression to represent how much money was left after Sarah had bought some certain stuffs at some prices using the money she received at her birthday.

Firstly, we identify that the total amount of money she has to spend is $55.

Now let’s project her total spendings. She bought 3 shirts with each shirt costing $m.

The total amount spent on the shirts is thus; 3 * $m = $3m

The amount of money she has left is the difference.

Mathematically, this is equal to $55 - $3m

A tire manufacturer has a 60,000 mile warranty for tread life. The company wants to make sure the average tire lasts longer than
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The alternative hypothesis being tested in this example is that the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

H_1: \mu > 60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A tire manufacturer has a 60,000 mile warranty for tread life. The company wants to make sure the average tire lasts longer than 60,000 miles.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of at most 60,000 miles, that is:

H_0: \mu \leq 60,000

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

H_1: \mu > 60,000

Solve the equation 5x + (−2) = 6x + 4 using the algebra tiles. What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

5x + (−2) = 6x + 4

a) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x-coefficient?

Smaller x-coefficient is 5x to remove the smaller x-coefficient

So, Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the constant from the right side of the equation?

the constant on right side is 4

Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Julli [10]

Answer:

The smallest bag that has enough food to feed his bag for one month

 = 3.6 kilogram

The quantity of dry food Ray feeds his dog = 0.12 kilogram

So the quantity of food he feeds his dog in one month

    = 0.12 × 30              ∵ since 1 month = 30 days

    =  3.6 kilogram

The smallest bag that has enough food to feed his bag for one month
