Lets find all the numbers..

x (1st number)
x + 2 ( 2nd number)
x + 4 (3rd number)
x + 6 (4th number)
x + 8 (5th number)
x + 10 (6th number)

Now add all those expressions and set them equal to 270 because that is the total.

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 270
6x + 30 = 270
6x = 240
x = 40

Now we will substitute 40 for x in the expression of the second number.

x + 2
40 + 2
42

So the second number is 42

Hope this helps :)

A study of immunizations among school‑age children in California found that some areas had rates of unvaccinated school‑age chil
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a classroom of 20 children in one such area where 13.5% of children are unvaccinated.

If there are no siblings in the classroom, we are willing to consider the vaccination status of the 2020 unrelated children to be independent.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 children

            r = number of success = none of the 20 children

            p = probability of success which in our case is probability that

                   children are unvaccinated, i.e; p = 13.5%

<u><em>Let X = Number of children that are unvaccinated</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20, p = 0.135)

Now, Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is given by = P(X = 0)

           P(X = 0)  =  \binom{20}{0} \times 0.135^{0} \times (1-0.135)^{20-0}

                          =  1\times 1 \times 0.865^{20}

                          =  0.055

<em>Hence, the probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.</em>

Katen [24]

Money borrowed by Anthony from his friend for a sandwich and drink at lunch = $6.50

Money borrowed by Anthony from his sister to pay a library fine = $3.75

Hence, the equation to express Anthony's total debt that day will be =

Let T be the total debt , so the equations becomes,

6.50 + 3.75 = T

829.9 to the nearest whole number
anzhelika [568]

when rounding numbers: if it's four or less, you round down. if it's five or more, you round up. 9 is bigger than 4, so the nearest whole number is 830.
