JK+KL=JL
(5x-8)+7x-12=10x-2
(add common terms together)
12x-20=10x-2
(get the term with x alone on one side of the equation)
2x=18
(divide by 2 to get x alone)
x=9

Find KL:
KL=7(9)-12
KL=51

A really bad carton of eggs contains spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks eggs at random for his ""Mega-Omelet Surprise."" F
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(a) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled is 0.0531.

(b) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled is 0.3959.

(c) The probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled is 0.8747.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A really bad carton of 18 eggs contains 8 spoiled eggs. An unsuspecting chef picks 5 eggs at random for his “Mega-Omelet Surprise.” Find the probability that the number of unspoiled eggs among the 5 selected is

(a) exactly 5

(b) 2 or fewer

(c) more than 1.

Let <em>X</em> = number of unspoiled eggs in the bad carton of eggs.

Of the 18 eggs in the bad carton of eggs, 8 were spoiled eggs.

The probability of selecting an unspoiled egg is:

P(X)=p=\frac{10}{18}=0.556

A randomly selected egg is unspoiled or not is independent of the others.

It is provided that a chef picks 5 eggs at random.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 5 and <em>p</em> = 0.556.

The success is defined as the selection of an unspoiled egg.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is given by:

P(X=x)={5\choose x}(0.556)^{x}(1-0.556)^{5-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(a)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled as follows:

P(X=5)={5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}\\=1\times 0.05313\times 1\\=0.0531

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected exactly 5 are unspoiled is 0.0531.

(b)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled as follows:

P (X ≤ 2) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)

              =\sum\imits^{2}_{x=0}{{5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}}\\=0.0173+0.1080+0.2706\\=0.3959

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected 2 or less are unspoiled is 0.3959.

(c)

Compute the probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled as follows:

P (X > 1) = 1 - P (X ≤ 1)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

              =1-\sum\limits^{1}_{x=0}{{5\choose 5}(0.556)^{5}(1-0.556)^{5-5}}\\=1-0.0173-0.1080\\=0.8747

Thus, the probability that of the 5 eggs selected more than 1 are unspoiled is 0.8747.

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)?
Tema [17]

Answer:

There are asymptotes at x = three-halves and x = negative one-third.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 1)/ (6x^2 - 7x - 3)

= (x + 1)( / (6x^2 + 2x - 9x  - 3)

= (x + 1) / (2x(3x + 1) - 3(3x + 1))

= (x + 1) / (2x - 3)(3x + 1)

Now x = 3/2 and x = -1/3 both make te denominator zero so these   are both asymptotes.

Which statements about the figure are true? Select two options.
harina [27]

<u>Complete Question</u>

The circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. A circle is inscribed in triangle P R T. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the sides of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T. The length of R S is 5, the length of P U is 8, and the length of U T is 6. Which statements about the figure are true?

Answer:

(B)TU ≅ TS

(D)The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the question is drawn for more understanding,

The theorem applied to this problem is that of tangents. All tangents drawn to a circle from the same point are equal.

Therefore:

|PQ|=|PU|=8 Units

|ST|=|UT| =6 Units

|RS|=|RQ|=5 Units

(b)From the above, TU ≅ TS

(d)Line Segment |PR|=|PQ|+|QR|=8+5=`13 Units
