The base of an isosceles triangle is one and a half times the length of the other two sides.A smaller triangle has a perimeter t
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Perimeter of the smaller triangle = 1.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal sides of an isosceles triangle = x

Therefore, length of the base = (1\frac{1}{2})x

Perimeter of this isosceles triangle = x + x + (1\frac{1}{2})x

                                                          = 2x + (1+\frac{1}{2})x

                                                          = 2x + x + \frac{x}{2}

                                                          = \frac{5x}{2}

Since, smaller triangle has a perimeter that is half the perimeter of the larger triangle,

Length of each corresponding side of smaller triangle will be half of the larger triangle.

Length of sides of the smaller triangle = \frac{x}{2},\frac{x}{2},(1\frac{1}{2})\frac{x}{2}

Perimeter of the smaller triangle = \frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+(1\frac{1}{2})\frac{x}{2}

                                                      = x + \frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{4}

                                                      = \frac{3}{2}x+\frac{x}{4}

                                                      = \frac{6}{4}x+\frac{x}{4}

                                                      = \frac{7}{4}x

                                                      = 1.75x

Therefore, expression that represents the perimeter of the smaller triangle is (1.75x)

Due to a manufacturing error, two cans of regular soda were accidentally filled with diet soda and placed into a 18-pack. Suppos
crimeas [40]

Answer:

a) There is a 1.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

b) There is a 79.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

c)  P(X = 2) is unusual, P(X = 0) is not unusual

d) There is a 19.58% probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the can has diet soda, or it hasn't. So we use the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

A number of sucesses x is considered unusually low if P(X \leq x) \leq 0.05 and unusually high if P(X \geq x) \geq 0.05

In this problem, we have that:

Two cans are randomly chosen, so n = 2

Two out of 18 cans are filled with diet coke, so \pi = \frac{2}{18} = 0.11

a) Determine the probability that both contain diet soda. P(both diet soda)

That is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}(0.11)^{2}(0.89)^{0} = 0.0121

There is a 1.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

b)Determine the probability that both contain regular soda. P(both regular)

That is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}(0.11)^{0}(0.89)^{2} = 0.7921

There is a 79.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

c) Would this be unusual?

We have that P(X = 2) is unusual, since P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) = 0.0121 \leq 0.05

For P(X = 0), it is not unusually high nor unusually low.

d) Determine the probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular. P(one diet and one regular)

That is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}(0.11)^{1}(0.89)^{1} = 0.1958

There is a 19.58% probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular.
