Answer:

The estimated mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information,

Number of rocket hits     |    Observed number of regions

0                                       |                       228

1                                        |                       214

2                                       |                        94

3                                       |                        32

4                                       |                         7

5                                       |                        0

6                                       |                        0

7                                       |                         1

We are asked to estimate the mean number of rocket hits in the region.

The mean or expected value is given by

\mu = \sum (x \cdot P(x)) \\\\\mu = (0 \cdot 228) + (1 \cdot 214) + (2 \cdot 94) + (3 \cdot 32) + (4 \cdot 7) + (5 \cdot 0) + (6 \cdot 0) + (7 \cdot 1) \\\\\mu = 0 + 214 +188+ 96 +28 +0+ 0 + 7 \\\\\mu = 533

Therefore, the mean number of rockets hits in the region is 533.

Find the perimeter of the semicircle when diameter is 3.5 cm. (1 Point)
Feliz [49]

● Answer:

8.995 cm

● Step-by-step explanation:

P = d + L/2

d = 3.5 cm

L/2 = 2pi×r/2

= pi×d/2

= 3.14×3.5/2

= 5.495 cm

P = 3.5cm + 5.495

= 8.995 cm

I SPENT 50 POINTS ON THIS, PLEASE HELP
Anestetic [448]

In the figure, we can consider that the base is the side that mesures 12 in and that the height is the side that measures 15 in, since that sides are perpendicular. So, we just need to use the given formula:

A = \dfrac{bh}{2}\Longrightarrow A = \dfrac{12\cdot15}{2}\Longrightarrow A=6\cdot15\Longrightarrow \boxed{A = 90~\text{in}^2}

Hence, the area of the triangle is 90 in² (B).
