Answer:

C. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just a common ratio. These two triangles are alike, just that one is smaller than the other. You can see that one of the sides of the big traingle is 10. The same side of the smaller triangle is 5. That means the big traingle's side is twice as big as the small circle's.

10 divided by 5= 2

If the big triangle's side got divided by 2 to get the smaller triangle's side. So, that means the other side of the big triangle, 8 is twice as big as the side on the smaller triangle, x.

8 divided by 2= x

8 divided by 2= 4, so x= 4.

This is the ratio:

8:10 to x:5

As you can see the 10 got divided by 2 to get the 5. So 8 must also get divided by 2, which equals 4.

A special type of door lock has a panel with five buttons labeled with the digits 1 through 5. This lock is opened by a sequence

belka [17]

There are several ways the door can be locked, these ways illustrate combination.

There are 3375 possible combinations

From the question, we have:

$\mathbf{n = 5}$ --- the number of digits

$\mathbf{r = 3}$ ---- the number of actions

Each of the three actions can either be:

Pressing one button
Pressing a pair of buttons

The number of ways of pressing a button is:

$\mathbf{n_1 = ^5C_1}$

Apply combination formula

$\mathbf{n_1 = \frac{5!}{(5-1)!1!}}$

$\mathbf{n_1 = \frac{5!}{4!1!}}$

$\mathbf{n_1 = \frac{5 \times 4!}{4! \times 1}}$

$\mathbf{n_1 = 5}$

The number of ways of pressing a pair is:

$\mathbf{n_2 = ^5C_2}$

Apply combination formula

$\mathbf{n_2 = \frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}}$

$\mathbf{n_2 = \frac{5!}{3!2!}}$

$\mathbf{n_2 = \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3!}{3! \times 2 \times 1}}$

$\mathbf{n_2 = 10}$

So, the number of ways of performing one action is:

$\mathbf{n =n_1 + n_2}$

$\mathbf{n =5 + 10}$

$\mathbf{n =15}$

For the three actions, the number of ways is:

$\mathbf{Action = n^3}$

$\mathbf{Action = 15^3}$

$\mathbf{Action = 3375}$

Hence, there are 3375 possible combinations

Find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and st

SashulF [63]

Answer:

0.7233

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the area between the z-scores z=-0.95 and z=1.25.

We first find the area to the left of each z-score, and subtract the smaller area from the bigger one.

For the area to the left of z=-0.95, we read -0.9 under 5 from the standard normal distribution table.

This gives P(z<-0.95)=0.1711

Similarly the area to the left of z=1.25 is

P(z<1.25)=0.8944

Now the area between the two z-scores is

P(-0.25<z<1.25)=0.8944-0.1711=0.7233
