Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886

The first angle of a triangle is 4 times the number of degrees in the second angle. The third angle of the triangle is 12 degree
xenn [34]

Answer:

1st angle: 128°

2nd angle: 32°

3rd angle: 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start by setting up an equation. 180=x+4x+x-12. It sould all add up to 180 because angles of a triangle always add up to 180, and x represents the second triangle (you use the second angle as x because the other two angles elaborate off of this second angle).  Then you solve. Add 12 to 180 and get 192. Then you can add like terms and make it 192=6x (you add the x's together). Lastly divide 192 by 6 and get 32. So the measurement of angle 2 is 32°. Then you multiply 32 by 4 to get the 1st angle measure, being 128. Lastly subtract 12 from 32 and get 20 for angle three. To check you work add the three angle measures you got and see if they =180, if so then you are correct.

Pls help me I am freaking out. :(
kkurt [141]

Andre : Anything less than -100, for example -150

-150<-100

|-150|=150

Han: Anything between -100 & 100, for example 50

50> 100

|50|= 50

Lin: 100 or -100,

100> -100

|100|=100

or

-100=-100

|-100|=100

Find the slope of the line.
cricket20 [7]
Your slope would be -1/4x. If you look at the y-intercept on your graph, which is -2, you would start to count up one box and over 4 boxes to the left. We call this rise/run. So knowing what the slope is now, your entire equation would be            y= -1/4x - 2. (Also, if the line is going up towards the left it is a negative slope, if it's to the right it is positive.) I hope this helps love! :)
