Answer:

0.9855 or 98.55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:

P(X\leq 1)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-p)^{23}+23*(1-p)^{23-1}*p\\P(X\leq 1)=(1-0.008)^{23}+23*(1-0.008)^{23-1}*0.008\\P(X\leq 1)=0.8313+0.1542\\P(X\leq 1)=0.9855

The probability  that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9855 or 98.55%.

A volleyball reaches its maximum of 13 feet, 3 seconds after it is served. What quadratic formula could model the height of the
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

H=-(t-3)^2+13

Step-by-step explanation:

The path covered by the volleyball will be a downward parabola with the vertex being the highest point of the ball.

A general form of a downward parabola is given as:

y=-a(x-h)^2+k

Where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola and 'a' is a constant.

Now, let 'h' be the vertical height and 't' be the time taken.

So, the equation would be of the form:

H=-a(t-h)^2+k

Now, as per question:

h = 2 seconds, k = 13 feet.

H=-a(t-3)^2+13

Now, taking a = 1. So, the formula that can be used is:

H=-(t-3)^2+13

Distribute the expression. <br><br> 5(2<br> s<br> 2<br> −3s+4)
Nookie1986 [14]

If it's just distribution, not solving for s (I mean I could but do you need to?):

5(2s² - 3s + 4)     Distribute/multiply 5 into (2s² - 3s + 4)

(5)2s² - (5)3s + (5)4

10s² - 15s + 20

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with rational denominator.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

sqrt(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two perpendicular side lengths are equal, so using Pythagoras theorem:

x = sqrt( sqrt(10)^2 + sqrt(10)^2 )

x = sqrt(10 + 10)

x = sqrt(20)
