The length of the ladder is 5.3 meter if the base of a ladder is placed 2.8 m away from a tree that is 4.5 m tall. The end of the ladder touches the top of the tree.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.

As per the picture attached, the triangle is a right angle triangle:

Let's assume the length of the ladder is x meter

From the Pythagoras theorem:

x = √(2.8²+4.5²)

x = √(7.84+20.25)

x = 5.3 m

Thus, the length of the ladder is 5.3 meter if the base of a ladder is placed 2.8 m away from a tree that is 4.5 m tall. The end of the ladder touches the top of the tree.

What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 3%?
nlexa [21]
If you want to increase something by 3%, you would ADD 100% to it, so:
3% + 100% = 103%
Then you divide it by 100 to turn it into a decimal, so:
103% / 100 = 1.03
So to increase by 3%, the multiplier would be 1.03



If you wanted to decrease by 3%, you would SUBTRACT 100% from 3%, so:
100% - 3% = 97%
And then you would divide 97% by 100 to turn it into a decimal (multiplier), so:
97% / 100 = 0.97
So to decrease by 3%, the multiplier would be 0.97

Suppose you open a new game at the county fair. When patrons win, you pay them $3.00; when patrons lose, they pay you $1.00. If
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

E(X) = 1 *0.8 - 3*0.2 = 0.2

so at the long run we can conclude that the best option is :

A) win 0.20 cents per play

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The expected value of a random variable X is the n-th moment about zero of a probability density function f(x) if X is continuous, or the weighted average for a discrete probability distribution, if X is discrete.

The variance of a random variable X represent the spread of the possible values of the variable. The variance of X is written as Var(X).  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable who represent the ampunt of money win/loss at the game defined.

The probability of loss $3.00 for this game is 0.2 and the probability of win is 1-0.2=0.8 and you will recieve $1.00 if you win. The expected value is given by:

E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)

And for this case if we replace we got:

E(X) = 1 *0.8 - 3*0.2 = 0.2

so at the long run we can conclude that the best option is :

A) win 0.20 cents per play
