Answer:

The field is 1 and 4/10 mile long.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I understand the question:

(1/2) + (9/10) =

(5/10) + (9/10) = (14/10)

(14/10) is 1 and 4/10

The field is 1 and 4/10 mile long.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 4

an=an-1 *3

a2 = a1 *3 = 4*3 = 12

Match the expressions with their equivalent simplified expressions.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}}\rightarrow\frac{2x}{3y}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} \rightarrow\frac{3y}{2x}\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}}\rightarrow\frac{4x^2}{5y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}}\rightarrow\frac{3x^2}{2y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} \rightarrow\frac{2xy}{3}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}}\rightarrow\frac{x}{2y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(2^4)(x^{6-2})(y^{4-8})}{(3^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{2^4x^4y^{-4}}{3^4}} =\frac{2xy^{-1}}{3}=\frac{2x}{3y}$

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(3^4)(x^{2-6})(y^{10-6})}{(2^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{3^4x^{-4}y^{4}}{2^4}} =\frac{3x^{-1}y^1}{3}=\frac{3y}{2x}$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(4^3)(x^{8-2})(y^{7-10})}{(5^3)}} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{4^3x^6y^{-3}}{5^3}} =\frac{4x^2y^{-1}}{5}=\frac{4x^2}{5y}$

$\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{(3^5)(x^{17-7})(y^{16-21})}{(2^5)}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{3^5x^{10}y^{-5}}{2^5}} =\frac{3x^2y^{-1}}{2}=\frac{3x^2}{2y}$

$\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{(2^5)(x^{12-7})(y^{15-10})}{(3^5)}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{2^5x^{5}y^{5}}{3^5}} =\frac{2x^1y^{1}}{3}=\frac{2xy}{3}$

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(2^4)(x^{10-2})(y^{9-17})}{(4^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{2^4x^{8}y^{-8}}{4^4}} =\frac{2x^{1}y^{-1}}{4}=\frac{x}{2y}$

Lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. a bank conducts inter

Otrada [13]

Part A:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector correctly determined that a selected person is saying the truth has a probability of 0.85
Thus p = 0.85

Thus, the probability that the lie detector will conclude that all 15 are telling the truth if all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

 $P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow P(15)={ ^{15}C_{15}(0.85)^{15}(0.15)^0} \\ \\ =1\times0.0874\times1=0.0874$


Part B:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.25
Thus p = 0.15

Thus, the probability that the lie detector will conclude that at least 1 is lying if all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

$P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow P(X\geq1)=1-P(0) \\ \\ =1-{ ^{15}C_0(0.15)^0(0.85)^{15}} \\ \\ =1-1\times1\times0.0874=1-0.0874 \\ \\ =0.9126$

Part C:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The mean is given by:

$\mu=npq \\ \\ =15\times0.15\times0.85 \\ \\ =1.9125$

Part D:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The probability that the number of truthful applicants classified as liars is greater than the mean is given by:

 $P(X\ \textgreater \ \mu)=P(X\ \textgreater \ 1.9125) \\ \\ 1-[P(0)+P(1)]$

 $P(1)={ ^{15}C_1(0.15)^1(0.85)^{14}} \\ \\ =15\times0.15\times0.1028=0.2312$

Sum of a number and 7 = x + 7

Is 11 = "= 11"

That equals x + 7 = 11.

x = 4
