Answer:

The probability that they both miss their targets is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to calculate the probability that if the captain and the pirate fires the canon in their ships at the same time, they both miss.

We proceed as follows;

Let the probability of the captain hitting the pirate be P(c) = 1/2

The probability of the captain missing is thus ; 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 or 0.5

Let the probability of the pirate hitting the captain be P(r) = 1/3 , the probability of him not hitting the captain is 1-1/3 = 2/3

Now the probability of both of them missing is = probability of the captain missing a fired shot * probability of the pirate missing a fired shot

Hence, we have; 2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3

The bottom of a rectangular swimming pool has an area of 150 square meters and a perimeter of 50 meters. What are the dimensions
AysviL [449]

The  dimensions of the pool is 15m by10m

<h3>Area and perimeter of rectangle</h3>

A pool is rectangular in nature. If a rectangular swimming pool has an area of 150 square meters and a perimeter of 50 meters, then;

lw = 150

2(l+w) = 50

l + w = 25

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the equation 3

l = 25 - w

Substitute into 1

(25-w)w = 150
25w-w² = 150
w²-25w+150 = 0
w²-10w-15w+150 = 0

Factor

w(w-10)-15(w-10) = 0

w = 10 and 15

l = 150/10 = 15

Hence the  dimensions of the pool is 15m by10m

Find the limit of (lnx)³/x as x approaches infinity.
EastWind [94]
Ok, so one way is like your way

so
if we test some numbers
for x=10
we get about 12.3/10≈1.2
for x=100000
we get 1522.03/100000≈0.01522
the top number keeps getting smaller reletive to bottom number
when x=1000000000
we get 8899.68/1000000000≈0.000009

we notice the bottom number is increaseing at a faster rate that the botom one
when x approaches infinity,the bottom number will be so big it will become a fraction that evaluates to basically zero becuase it evaluates to a very small number that is negligible
