<span>0.002 For 6 systems with exactly 3 failures, you need to calculate 6 pick 3 or 6!/(3!3!) = 720/(6*6)=720/36=20 different combinations of 3 systems to fail. Now the probability of each of those failures will be the probability of the subsystems not failing times the probability of the subsystems fail. So 0.95^3 * 0.05^3 for 3 subsystem not failing time 3 subsystems failing. So 0.95^3 * 0.05^3 = 0.857375*0.000125 = 0.000107172. And multiply by the 6 pick 3 calculated earlier, gives. 0.000107172 * 20 = 0.002143438 And rounding to the nearest thousandth, gives 0.002</span>

x equals 4 and y equals 5 . so the formula would be 5x+12y=80 and if we need 4 of the small boxes we sub x for 4 and we get 5(4) =20. Next, 80 minus 20 is 60, and the equation would now be 12y=60. we now divide both sides by 12 and we get left with y=5.  5x + 12y = 80  5(4) + 12(5)=80  20+60=80. That is all.  I hope that doesn't sound confusing

Point A is at (-1,-9) and Point B is at (2,4). What is the midpoint of line segment AB
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Midpoint( .5,-2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2 and then add the y coordinates and divide by 2

x:  (-1+2)/2 = 1/2=.5

y: (-9+4)/2 = -5/2 = -2.5

Midpoint( .5,-2.5)

GIVING BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION HELP NOW
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x = 250°

Step-by-step explanation:

"Angle formed between a chord and tangent intersecting on a circle measure the half of the intercepted arc"

From the figure attached,

Angle between the chord and the tangent = 55°

Measure of intercepted arc (minor arc AB) = h°

Therefore, 55° = \frac{1}{2}(h)

h=110^0

And m(minor arc AB) + m(major arc AB) = 360°

h° + x° = 360°

110° + x° = 360°

x° = 360° - 110°°

x = 250°

Therefore, measure of the intercepted arc is 250°.
