<h3>Answer: 22 units</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

You can use the distance formula

$d = \sqrt{ (x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (1-1)^2 + (-4-18)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ (0)^2 + (-22)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{ 22^2}\\\\d = 22\\\\$

----------------

A shorter method is to subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value

So either |-4-18| = |-22| = 22

Or, |18 - (-4)| = |18+4| = |22| = 22

This method only works because the x coordinates are the same. We can also use this method if the y coordinates were the same with the x coordinates being different.

In a multiple choice quiz there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a, b, c, d). Robin has not studied for the quiz

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

b) There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

c) There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can have two outcomes. Either it is right, or it is wrong. So, for b) and c), we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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

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

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

And $\pi$ is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

Each question has 4 choices. So for each question, Robin has a $\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$ probability of getting ir right. So $\pi = 0.25$ . There are five questions, so $n = 5$ .

(a) What is the probability that the first question she gets right is the second question?

There is a 75% probability of getting the first question wrong and there is a 25% probability of getting the second question right. These probabilities are independent.

$P = 0.75(0.25) = 0.1875$

There is a 18.75% probability that the first question that she gets right is the second question.

(b) What is the probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right?

This is: $P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

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

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{4} = 0.3955$

$P(X = 2) = C_{5,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{3} = 0.2637$

$P = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.3955 + 0.2637 = 0.6592$

There is a 65.92% probability that she gets exactly 1 or exactly 2 questions right.

(c) What is the probability that she gets the majority of the questions right?

That is the probability that she gets 3, 4 or 5 questions right.

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

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

$P(X = 3) = C_{5,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{2} = 0.0879$

$P(X = 4) = C_{5,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{1} = 0.0146$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.001$

$P = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0879 + 0.0146 + 0.001 = 0.1035$

There is a 10.35% probability that she gets the majority of the questions right.

A circle has an initial radius of 50 ft when the radius begins decreasing at the rate of 5 5 ft/min. What is the rate in the ch

gavmur [86]

Answer:

-816.8 ft²/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of area is the product of the rate of change of radius and the circumference of the circle. At the time of interest, ...

dA/dt = C·dr/dt = 2πr·dr/dt

dA/dt = 2π·(26 ft)(-5 ft/min)

dA/dt = -260π ft²/min ≈ -816.8 ft²/min

Х<br> 120<br> 50<br> What is the value of x?

lara [203]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

180-120= 60

a line is 180 degrees and x is congruent to the angle on the right of 120, meaning if you find the missing angle to that angle(the one next to 120) then you'd get the answer. Knowing the line it 180 and 120 is supplementary to x. x=60.
