Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the third sides.

c²=a²+b²

c²=7²+3²

=49+9

=58

so, c²=√58

area of the square is 58 units

According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries

blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that $p = 0.051$

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that $n = 6$

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695$

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Solve the equation. |x + 5| = 9 {–4, 14} {–14, 4} {4, 14} {–14, –4}

inna [77]

Answer:

{-14, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value function only makes sure that the result always has a positive sign.

so, (x + 5) must be either +9 or -9 to make the original equation true. the absolute value would turn both into +9.

so,

x + 5 = 9

x = 4

and

x + 5 = -9

x = -14

that gives us the correct set of solutions as indicated above.

Can u help me plz thanks

Mrrafil [7]

1. x = -4 ; f(x) = -(-4) = 4
2. x = -3 ; f(x) = 2(-3) + 1 = -5
3. x = 0 ; f(x) = 2(0) + 1 = 1
4. x = 2 ; f(x) = 2 + 3 = 5
5. x = 5 ; f(x) = 5 + 3 = 8
