Answer:

Combine like terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the problem, we need to combine like terms.

5 - 2x < 8x - 3

-2x - 8x < -3 - 5

-10x < -8

10x > 8

5x > 4

x > 4/5

Hope this helps!

Write an expression for the calculation double 2 and then add5
Lyrx [107]
So,

"double 2"
2(2)

"add 5"
+ 5

Therefore, the whole expression would be:
2(2) + 5

If you wanted to evaluate it, it would come out like this.
4 + 5

Would appreciate an explanation. PLEASE ANSWER THIS
Radda [10]

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*ab*Cos(C)

c = 16; a = 17; b = 8 (what you call a and b don't really matter. c does). Substitute.

16^2 = 17^2 + 8^2 - 2*17*8*Cos(C) Add the first 2 on the right.

256 = 289 + 64 - 282*cos(C)

256 = 353 - 282*cos(C) Whatever you do, don't do any more combing on the right side. Subtract 353 from both sides.

-97 = -282 * cos(C ) Divide by 282

0.34397 = cos(C)

cos-1(0.34397) = C ; C = 69.88 degrees.


Do you need more help on this question? All of these are done the same way.

Printed circuit cards are placed in a functional test after being populated with semiconductor chips. A lot contains 140 cards,
hjlf

Answer:

a) 0.9644 or 96.44%

b) 0.5429 or 54.29%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability that at least 1 defective card is in the sample P(A) = 1 - probability that no defective card is in the sample P(N)

P(A) = 1 - P(N) .....1

Given;

Total number of cards = 140

Number selected = 20

Total number of defective cards = 20

Total number of non defective cards = 140-20 = 120

P(N) = Number of possible selections of 20 non defective cards ÷ Number of possible selections of 20 cards from all the cards.

P(N) = 120C20/140C20 = 0.0356

From equation 1

P(A) = 1 - 0.0356

P(A) = 0.9644 or 96.44%

b) Using the same method as a) above

P(A) = 1 - P(N) .....1

Given;

Total number of cards = 140

Number selected = 20

Total number of defective cards = 5

Total number of non defective cards = 140-5 = 135

P(N) = 135C20/140C20 = 0.457

From equation 1

P(A) = 1 - 0.4571

P(A) = 0.5429 or 54.29%

27 students are learning to make balloon animals. There are 172 balloons to be shared equally among the students
bija089 [108]
A.) .4 of a balloon is left
To Check:
what I did was divide 172 by 27 and it is 6.37 rounded to ........6 is an equal number so I kept it and .4 will be left over after sharing equally.

B.) 17 more balloons are needs
To Check:
what I was multiply 27 by 7 because each student needs seven balloons and I got 189 after that I subtracted 172 from 189 (189-172=17)
to see how many more balloons are needed.

(Ross 5.15) If X is a normal random variable with parameters µ " 10 and σ 2 " 36, compute (a) PpX ą 5q (b) Pp4 ă X ă 16q (c) PpX
pochemuha

Answer:

(a) 0.7967

(b) 0.6826

(c) 0.3707

(d) 0.9525

(e) 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean <em>μ</em> = 10 and  variance <em>σ</em>² = 36.

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 5) as follows:

P(X>5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{5-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>-0.833)\\=P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 5) is 0.7967.

(b)

Compute the value of P (4 < X < 16) as follows:

P(4

Thus, the value of P (4 < X < 16) is 0.6826.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 8) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 8) is 0.3707.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X < 20) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 20) is 0.9525.

(e)

Compute the value of P (X > 16) as follows:

P(X>16)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{16-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>1)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 16) is 0.1587.

**Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probabilities.
