Answer:

The solution to the equation is

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the solution to the equation

(1/4)x - 1/8 = 7/8 + (1/2)x

First, add -(1/2)x + 1/8 to both sides of the equation.

(1/4)x - 1/8 - (1/2)x + 1/8 = 7/8 + (1/2)x - (1/2)x + 1/8

[1/4 - 1/2]x = 7/8 + 1/8

x(1 - 2)/4 = (7 + 1)/8

-(1/4)x = 8/8

-(1/4)x = 1

Multiply both sides by -4

x = -4

The probability that an egg on a production line is cracked is 0.01. Two eggs are selected at random from the production line. F

musickatia [10]

Answer:

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

$P(X=0)=(2C0)(0.01)^0 (1-0.01)^{2-0}=0.9801$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.9801 = 0.0199$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of craked eggs", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=2, p=0.01)$

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:

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

And we want to find this probability:

$P(x \geq 1)=1-P(X$

And we can find the probability:

$P(X=0)=(2C0)(0.01)^0 (1-0.01)^{2-0}=0.9801$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.9801 = 0.0199$
