Solve for p 8/9 12/p

Mathematics

8/9 = 12/p multiply by p on both sides
(8/9)p = 12 distribute p
8p/9 = 12 multiply by 9 on both sides
8p = 108 divide by 8
p = 108/8 simplify
p = 27/2

Write an equation of the line with the given characteristics (show all work)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

1. y = - 4 x + 5

2.  x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  (-1,9) (1,1)

y = mx + b

m = (y-y') / (x-x') = (1-9) / (1-(-1)) = -8 / 2 = - 4

b = y - mx = 9 - (-4) x (-1) = 5

equation: y = - 4 x + 5

check: (1,1)   y=1 = (-4) x 1 + 5 = 1

2. Vertical line through (-8,6) is a line perpendicular to x axis

    x = -8

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett
valentinak56 [21]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

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

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is \frac{211}{243}, hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is \frac{232}{243}, hence:

(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}

\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

[P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then:

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

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

a counter top is in the shape of a trapezoid. The lengths of the bases are 70 1/2 and 65 1/2 inches long. The area of the counte
nekit [7.7K]
For the trapezoid, the equation used to solve for the area is,
                           A = (0.5)(b₁ + b₂)(h)
where b₁ and b₂ are the measure of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values above,
                          1224 = (0.5)(70.5 + 65.5)(h)
                                     h = 18
Thus, the height of the counter top is 18 inches.

Find the surface area of the triangular prism please.
Kobotan [32]
Surface area =  area of 3 rectangles + 2 triangles

            =  3*(3*7) + 2 * ( 1/2 * 3 * 2.6)

            =   63 +   2* 3.9

            =   70.8  in^2
