X = The number of members 

<span>450 / x = Each person's share </span>

<span>(450 / x) + 3 = Having gone up by three dollars </span>

<span>(450 / (x - 5)) = Each person's share minus the five deadbeats </span>

<span>(450 / x) + 3 = 450 / (x - 5) </span>

<span>Solve for x... </span>

<span>450 + 3x = 450x / (x - 5) </span>

<span>450(x - 5) + 3x(x - 5) = 450x </span>

<span>450x - 2250 + 3x² - 15x - 450x = 0 </span>

<span>3x² - 15x - 2250 = 0 </span>

<span>3(x - 30)(x + 25) = 0 </span>

<span>x = 30, -25 </span>

<span>The negative result is meaningless... </span>

<span>x = 30 members</span>

A company is in the business of finding addresses of long-lost friends. The company claims to have a 70% success rate. Suppose t
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

c) For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=9, p=0.7)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

Part a

For this case we can use the following R code:

> x <- seq(0,9,by = 1)

> y <- dbinom(x,9,0.7)

> plot(x,y,main="Histogram",type = "h")

And we can see on the figure attached the solution.

We see that the higher probabilities are from 4 to 9

Part b

The expected value is given by:

E(X) =\mu= np = 9*0.7=6.3

The variance is given by:

Var (X) =\sigma^2= np(1-p) = 9*0.7*(1-0.7)= 1.89

And the standard deviation is:

Sd(X) =\sigma= \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{9*0.7*(1-0.7)}=1.375

Part c

First we can find the probability that at least two addresses will be found in the list of 9 that we have like this:

P(X \geq 2)

We can use the complement rule and we have:

P(X \geq 2) = 1-P(X

We find the indicidual probabilities:

P(X=0)=(9C0)(0.7)^0 (1-0.7)^{9-0}=0.00001968

P(X=1)=(9C1)(0.7)^1 (1-0.7)^{9-1}=0.000413

P(X \geq 2) = 1-[0.00001968+0.000413]=0.9996

If we use the case of n=8 and we find P(X\leq 2), we got:

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9987

For the case n= 7

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9962

For the case n= 6

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9891

For the case n= 5

P(X \leq 2) = 0.9692

So then we need at least  n=5 or n=6 to satisfy the condition required.

Factor 28+56t+28w28+56t+28w28, plus, 56, t, plus, 28, w to identify the equivalent expressions. Choose 2 answers:
Effectus [21]

Answer: The factorization of  28+56t+28w =28(1+2t+w)

The factors of 28+56t+28w are 28 and 1+2t+w.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression : 28+56t+28w

To factorize it, we need to find the common factor.

As 56 can be written as 2 x 28.

So, the above expression would become

28+2\times28t+28w

Now, taking 28 as common from all the terms, we will get

28(1+2t+w)

Thus, the factorization of  28+56t+28w =28(1+2t+w)

And the factors of  28+56t+28w are 28 and 1+2t+w.

Given: 4d=1/3(c-d) Proof= c=13d
ikadub [295]

Answer:

c = 13d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4d=1/3(c-d)

Open bracket

4d = 1/3c - 1/3d

Add 1/3d to both sides

4d + 1/3d = 1/3c

Simply 4d + 1/3d

12d+d/3 = 1/3c

13/3d = 1/3c

Make c the subject of the formula

c = 13/3d ÷ 1/3

c = 13/3d × 3/1

c = 13d

Calvin wants to buy a car alarm that has a full price of $325, plus a 12% sales tax. Which is the better offer, a 35%-off sale o
tester [92]
First calculate the total price of the car alarm
P = 325 + 0.12(325)
P = $ 364 is the total prize of the car alarm

then calculate the discounted price
35%-off sale
P = 364( 1 - 0.35)
P = 364(0.65)
P = $ 236.6

$ 100 coupon
P = 364 - 100
P = $ 264
so it is better to have the 35%-off sale
so the answer is A
