Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Δ NML and Δ PST are similar right triangles, we can set up the following proportional statement to establish their relationship:


Cross multiply:
8(x + 2) = 10 (x - 1)
8x + 16 = 10x - 10
Subtract 8x from both sides:
8x - 8x + 16 = 10x - 8x - 10
16 = 2x - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
16 + 10 = 2x - 10 + 10
26 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:

13 = x
Verify whether x = 13 is the correct value:




This shows the proportional relationship between
, and that ΔNML and ΔPST are indeed similar right triangles.
Therefore, the correct answer is x = 13.
Answer:
Ratio of blue fish in the small tank to the red fish in large tank is 10 : 6279
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of red fish and blue fish in the large tank are x and y respectively.
Similarly ratio of red fish and blue fish in the small tank are x' and y' respectively.
Since in each tank ratio of the red fish to blue fish is 333 : 444
That means x : y = 333 : 444
Or 
⇒ 
⇒ y =
--------(1)
Similarly x' : y' = 333 : 444
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ x' =
------(2)
Ratio of the fish in large tank to the fish in small tank is 464646 : 555
So (x + y) : (x' + y') = 464646 : 555

Now we replace the values of x and y' from equation (1) and equation (2)







Therefore, ratio of blue fish in the small tank to the red fish in large tank is 10 : 6279

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
There is a 25.92% probability that exactly 4 of the selected adults believe in reincarnation.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they believe in reincarnation, or they do not believe. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.
Binomial probability distribution:
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem
There are 5 adults, so 
60% believe in reincarnation, so 
What is the probability that exactly 4 of the selected adults believe in reincarnation?
This is P(X = 4).


There is a 25.92% probability that exactly 4 of the selected adults believe in reincarnation.
