Step-by-step explanation:
(a) If his second pass is the first that he completes, that means he doesn't complete his first pass.
P = P(not first) × P(second)
P = (1 − 0.694) (0.694)
P ≈ 0.212
(b) This time we're looking for the probability that he doesn't complete the first but does complete the second, or completes the first and not the second.
P = P(not first) × P(second) + P(first) × P(not second)
P = (1 − 0.694) (0.694) + (0.694) (1 − 0.694)
P ≈ 0.425
(c) Finally, we want the probability he doesn't complete either pass.
P = P(not first) × P(not second)
P = (1 − 0.694) (1 − 0.694)
P ≈ 0.094
Answer:
e. 10√30
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right triangle geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means that the ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all triangles:
x/(10+50) = 50/x
Multiplying by 60x, we have ...
x^2 = 3000
x = 10√30 . . . . . take the square root. Matches choice E.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
You're looking for x. Examining the figure, you see that x is the long side of the triangle with hypotenuse 10+50=60, so it will be shorter than that value. x is also the hypotenuse of the triangle with long side 50. So, x will be longer than 50.
The only answer choice with a value between 50 and 60 is choice E.
You don't even need to know how to find x. You only need to know that the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
