Answer:

a=3√77=26.3 ( rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

hyp.=37

base=26

a²+b²=c²

a²=c²-b²

a²=37²-26²

a²= 693

a=√693

a=3√77=26.3 ( rounded to the nearest tenth)

assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15 use them in meetings or classes if 15 adult smartphones are ra

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is 0.1773.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15% use them in meetings or classes.

Also, 15 adult smartphones are randomly selected.

Let X = <em>Number of adults who use their smartphones</em>

The above situation can be represented through the binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; n = 0,1,2,3,.......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 15 adult smartphones

r = number of success = at least 4

p = probability of success which in our question is the % of adults

who use them in meetings or classes, i.e. 15%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 15, p = 0.15)

Now, the probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is given by = P(X $\geq$ 4)

P(X $\geq$ 4) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

= $1- \binom{15}{0}\times 0.15^{0} \times (1-0.15)^{15-0}-\binom{15}{1}\times 0.15^{1} \times (1-0.15)^{15-1}-\binom{15}{2}\times 0.15^{2} \times (1-0.15)^{15-2}-\binom{15}{3}\times 0.15^{3} \times (1-0.15)^{15-3}$

= $1- (1\times 1\times 0.85^{15})-(15\times 0.15^{1} \times 0.85^{14})-(105 \times 0.15^{2} \times 0.85^{13})-(455 \times 0.15^{3} \times 0.85^{12})$

= <u>0.1773</u>

when a car speed is 24 km/hr a journey takes 80 minutes what must the speed be for the same journey to take 60 minutes?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

32 km/ hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Speed of car = 24km/ hr

Time taken =. 80 minutes = 80 / 60 = 1.33333 hours

The distance traveled :

Speed * time

24 km/hr * 1.333333 = 32 km

Speed required to complete 32 km. Journey in 60 minutes = 1 hour

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 32 km / 1 hour

Speed = 32 km/ hr

Pigeon Hole Principle :

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

A proof can be as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $S=\{a_{1},a_{2},...,a_{n},a_{n+1}\}$ be a set of $n+1$ integers. By the division algorithm the possible remainders when we divide by $n$ are $0,1,2,....,n-1$ . Then, each integer $a_{i}\in S$ can be written as:

$a_{i}=np_{i}+r_{i},\,\,0\leq r_{i}$

Observe that the set of remainders $\{r_{1},r_{2},...,r_{n+1}\}$ has $n+1$ elements and each element has $n$ possible values. By the Pigenhole principle at least two remainders have the same value. Suppose that this two elements are $a_{i}, a_{j}$ . Then,
