Find the value of x in a triangle . If the hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 , the opposite is x+2 and the adjacent is x.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sauron [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

x² + (x + 2)² = 10² ← expand parenthesis on left side and simplify

x² + x² + 4x + 4 = 100 ( subtract 100 from both sides )

2x² + 4x - 96 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 8 = 0 ⇒ x = - 8

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

however, x > 0 , then x = 6

For a particular diamond mine, 81% of the diamonds fail to qualify as "gemstone grade". A random sample of 92 diamonds is analyz
Fed [463]

Answer:

68.79% probability that more than 79% of the sample diamonds fail to qualify as gemstone grade

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 92, p = 0.81

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 92*0.81 = 74.52

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92*0.81*0.19} = 3.76

Find the probability that more than 79% of the sample diamonds fail to qualify as gemstone grade.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.79*92 = 72.68. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{72.68 - 74.52}{3.76}

Z = -0.49

Z = -0.49 has a pvalue of 0.3121

1 - 0.3121 = 0.6879

68.79% probability that more than 79% of the sample diamonds fail to qualify as gemstone grade

Mark draws a card 50 times from a standard deck of 52 cards and gets a Heart 8 times. What is the experimental probability that
Inessa [10]
<span>Experimental probability is defined as the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials the activity is performed

In this case the number that the event occurred is 8 and the number of trials is 50, so the ratio is 8/50 = 4/25.

Then the answer is option B: 4/25
