X can't simultaneously be equal to 1 and larger than 2, so the probability must be zero.

Did you mean to find the probability of the union? In that case, since the events are mutually exclusive, you would be able to write

\mathbb P((X=1)\cap(X\ge3))=\mathbb P(X=1)+\mathbb P(X\ge3)
=\mathbb P(X=1)+1-\mathbb P(X
=\mathbb P(X=1)+1-\mathbb P(X\le2)
=1+f_X(1)+F_X(2)

where f_X(x) is the probability density function and F_X(x) is the cumulative distribution function for the random variable X.

(a) Are these triangles similar and if so why? (what similarity postulate can you use to prove this)
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Part a) The triangles KJL and NMP are similar by AAA similarity postulate

Part b) The value of x is 7\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

we know that

The AAA similarity postulate states that If in two triangles the corresponding angles are equal, then the triangles are similar

In this problem

m<JKL=m<MNP

m<KJL=m<NMP

so

The third angle must be equal (remember that the sum of the interior angles of triangle must be equal to 180 degrees)

m<JLK=m<MPN

therefore

The triangles KJL and NMP are similar by AAA similarity postulate

Part b) What is the value of x?

we know that

if two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides are equal

\frac{4x-4}{20}=\frac{30}{25}\\ \\(4x-4)*25=20*30\\ \\100x-100=600\\\\ 100x=700\\ \\x=7\ units

The graph shows the altitude of a helicopter over time. A graph measuring altitude and time. A line runs through coordinates (0,
TiliK225 [7]

We can calculate for the slope of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

 

From the given values:

m = (4,000 – 10,000) ft / (15 – 0) min

m = -400 ft/min

This means that the altitude is decreasing by 400 ft per minute.

 

 

> The slope is –400 . This means that the helicopter descends 400 ft each minute.

Hello!

You have to first find the median

74, 74, 83, 83, 83, 86, 87, 90, 92, 93, 93, 94

The numbers in the middle are 86 and 87

The average of these numbers are 86.5

The median is 86.5

This is shown in the box plot so the median is right

The lower quartile is the median of the numbers less than 86.5

74, 74, 83, 83, 83, 86

The median of these numbers is 83

The lower quartile is right

The find the upper quartile you find the average of the numbers higher than 86.5

87, 90, 92, 93, 93, 94

The upper quartile is 92.5

Since this is shown differently in the box plot the answer is upper quartile

The answer is C) upper quartile

Hope this helps!
