If each dowel is .5 of an inch. Then 2 dowels can be made per inch. If there are 10 inches. Then 20 dowels can be made because 10*2 equals 20.

Not all visitors to a certain company's website are customers. In fact, the website administrator estimates that about 5% of all

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

0.0135 = 1.35% probability that, in a random sample of 4 visitors to the website, exactly 2 actually are looking for the website.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each visitor of the website, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are looking for the website, or they are not. The probability of a customer being looking for the website is independent of other customers. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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% of all visitors to the website are looking for other websites.

So 100 - 5 = 95% are looking for the website, which means that $p = 0.95$

Find the probability that, in a random sample of 4 visitors to the website, exactly 2 actually are looking for the website.

This is P(X = 2) when n = 4. So

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

$P(X = x) = C_{4,2}.(0.95)^{2}.(0.05)^{2} = 0.0135$

0.0135 = 1.35% probability that, in a random sample of 4 visitors to the website, exactly 2 actually are looking for the website.

A half-circle is joined to an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 12 units. What is the perimeter of the resulting shape?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

P = 42.84 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A half-circle is joined to an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 12 units.

We need to find the perimeter of the resulting shape.

The perimeter of the half cirle is πr.

The diameter of the circle is 12. It means radius is 6 units.

An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides. So, perimeter of the triangle is given by :

P = πr + 12 +12

= 3.14(6) + 24

= 42.84 cm

Hence, the perimeter of the resulting shape is 42.84 cm.

Hamburger buns come in packages of 8. Hamburger patties come in packages of 10.

Vadim26 [7]

Answers/Step-by-step explanation:

A. LCM

B. Greatest Common Factor(GCF) shows the largest whole number, in this case patties and buns, would be a part of the whole that matches both numbers. Neil is unable to buy parts of packages because that not how most stores do business. Least common multiple(LCM) is the number that is both closest in value to the original number while being equal for all numbers. in that case, Neil is buying whole packages so it would work.

C. Neil would buy 4 packages of hamburger patties and 5 packages of hamburger buns. He could make 20 burgers.

The formula for the slant height of a cone is , where S is surface area of the cone. Use the formula to find the slant height, l

liq [111]

we know that

The formula of the surface area of the cone is equal to

$SA=\pi r^{2}+\pi rl$

where

SA is the surface area

r is the radius of the cone

l is the slant height

in this problem we have

$SA=500\pi\ ft^{2}\\r=15\ ft\\l=?$

Solve the formula for l

$SA=\pi r^{2}+\pi rl\\ \\\pi rl=SA-\pi r^{2} \\ \\l=\frac{SA-\pi r^{2} }{\pi r}$

substitute the values

$l=\frac{500\pi -\pi 15^{2} }{\pi15}\\ \\l=\frac{275}{15}\ ft\\ \\l=\frac{55}{3}\ ft\\ \\l=18\frac{1}{3}\ ft$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The slant height is $18\frac{1}{3}\ ft$
