The number you are in search of is -52.

To find this, we first have to write the equation that goes along with the sentence. For this, we need to take it one term at a time.

Negative sixteen (-16) plus (+) the quotient of a number and -4 (x/-4) is (=) -3.

Now put the parenthesis together

-16 + x/-4 = -3

Now we can solve this for x.

-16 + x/-4 = 3 ---> add 16 to both sides

x/-4 = 13 ----> multiply both sides by -4

x = -52

A consulting firm has received 2 Super Bowl playoff tickets from one of its clients. To be fair, the firm is randomly selecting

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)

Step-by-step explanation:

There employees are 6 secretaries, 5 consultants and 4 partners in the firm.

a.) The probability that a secretary wins in the first draw

= $\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} secreataries}{total \hspace{0.1cm} number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees} = \frac{6}{15}$

b.) The probability that a secretary wins a ticket on second draw. It has been given that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant.

p(secretary wins on second draw | consultant wins on first draw)

= $\frac{p((consultant \hspace{0.1cm} wins \hspace{0.1cm} on \hspace{0.1cm} first \hspace{0.1cm}draw)\cap( secretary\hspace{0.1cm} wins\hspace{0.1cm} on second \hspace{0.1cm}draw))}{p(consultant \hspace{0.1cm} wins \hspace{0.1cm} on \hspace{0.1cm} first \hspace{0.1cm}draw)}$

= $\frac{\frac{5}{15} \times \frac{6}{14}}{\frac{5}{15} } = \frac{6}{14}$ .

The probability that a ticket was won on the first draw by a consultant a secretary wins a ticket on second draw = $\frac{6}{15}$ is not true.

The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw = $\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} secretaries \hspace{0.1cm} remaining } { number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees \hspace{0.1cm} remaining} = \frac{6 - 1}{15 - 1} = \frac{5}{14}$

c.) The probability that a consultant wins on the first draw =

$\frac{number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} consultants \hspace{0.1cm} } { number \hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} employees \hspace{0.1cm} } = \frac{5 }{15} = \frac{1}{3}$

d.) The probability of two secretaries winning both tickets

= (probability of a secretary winning in the first draw) × (The probability that a secretary wins on the second draw)

= $\frac{6}{15} \times \frac{5}{14} = \frac{1}{7}$

Therefore the only statement that is not true is b.)

Enter the expression N0e−λt, where N0 is N-naught (an N with a subscript zero) and λ is the lowercase Greek letter lambda.

Natali5045456 [20]

So the question tells to express the expression in your problem where N0 is N-naught and the symbol represent the lower case Greek letter lambda. So the best answer or expression would be that the lambda is the wavelength of the expression. I hope you are satisfied with my answer

A "slow" clock falls behind at the same rate every hour. It is set to the correct time at 4a;00 AM. When the clock shows 5:00 AM

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

11:22 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

By means of a statement we can know that:

After an hour and 8 minutes, he stays 8 minutes behind

Which means that in 2 hours, it will take 16 minutes

If it is 10:30, it means that it is 6:30 hours later, that is to say 6.5.
