Which number from the set {3, 5, 6, 8} makes this inequality true? 3x + 5 − 2x > 11 a) 3 b) 5 c) 6 d) 8

D) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 8 in the place of x

3(8) + 5 - 2(8) > 11

24 + 5 - 16 > 11

13 > 11

expression #3 is not equivalent. the others are.

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
