The answer is x=3.6 or 3 3/5.
First we convert the decimal answer to a fraction; 0.9 is read as "nine tenths," so the corresponding fraction is 9/10:
1 5/6 - (x - 7/12) + 2 1/12 = 9/10
Now we find a common denominator. The first thing that 6, 12 and 10 will all divide into is 60:
1 50/60 - (x - 35/60) + 2 5/60 = 54/60
Distributing the negative, we have:
1 50/60 - x + 35/60 + 2 5/60 = 54/60
Combining like terms, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 = 54/60
Subtracting 4 30/60 from each side, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 - 4 30/60 = 54/60 - 4 30/60
-x = -3 36/60
Divide both sides by -1:
-x/-1 = (-3 36/60)/-1
x = 3 36/60 = 3 3/5 = 3.6

a. answer to a can be found in the attached file
b. Pr[survival] = Pr[good&survive]+Pr[medium&survive]+Pr[low&survive]=
0.24+0.06+0.05 = 0.35
c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its overall probability of survival?
Pr[survival] = Pr[survival|lands] * Pr[lands] = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07
Step-by-step explanation:
"A seed randomly blows around a complex habitat. It may land on any of three different soil types: a high-quality soil that gives a 0.8 chance of seed survival, a medium-quality soil that gives a 0.3 chance of survival, and a low-quality soil that gives only a 0.1 chance of survival. These three soil types (high, medium, and low) are present in the habitat in proportions of 30:20:50, respectively. The probability that a seed lands on a particular soil type is proportional to the frequency of that type in the habitat. a. Draw a probability tree to determine the probabilities of survival under all possible circumstances. b. What is the probability of survival of the seed, assuming that it lands"c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its overall probability of survival?
a. Find the probability tree as attached below
b. Pr[survival] = Pr[good&survive]+Pr[medium&survive]+Pr[low&survive]=
0.24+0.06+0.05 = 0.35
c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its overall probability of survival?
Pr[survival] = Pr[survival|lands] * Pr[lands] = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07
500,000,000 and 2,000,000
10 exponent 8 is 100000000 because it has 8 0s
multiply that by 5 to get 500,000,000
10 exponent 6 is 1000000 because it has 6 0s
multiply by 2 to get 2,000,000
