To help you out I save your picture and explain the process. The only thing tht confuses me is problem #!6. But I hope I helped you out in the slightest bit
x+6 is x+6. It's an expression. Not sure what you need help with.
The number of defective modems in the inventory is 20%⋅ 30 + 8%⋅ 50 = 10 (out of 80).
Note that the number of defectives in the inventory is fixed, i.e., we are not told that there
is 1
8 probability that a modem in the inventory is defective, but rather that exactly 1
8
of
all modems are defective. The probability that exactly two modems in a random sample
of five are defective is = 0.102
Ok, so here your being asked to solve 6x2<span> + 5x = -7
The procedure that I did was using this formula it led me to get the following:
</span>Using the formula:
x = -(-5) ± √(-5)² - 4(6)(-6)/ 2(6)
x = 5 ± √ 25 + 144 / 12
x = 5 ± √ 169 / 12
x = 5 ± 13/12
x1 = 5 + 13/12
x1 = 18/12
x1 = 3/2
x2 = 5 - 13/12
x2 = -8/12
<span>
x2 = - 2/3
Hope this helped :)</span>
2 over 3 you're welcome :)
