Answer:

B. 39.918 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the length of the first swing, the arc is 65 cm, and the successive swing the arc is 85% of the length of the previous swing.

The problem is asking for the length of the arc on the fourth swing:

We know that the arc of every consecutive swing will be 85% of the swing before, and we know that 85% = 0.85

So the length of the arc of the second swing will be:

85% * length of the arc on the first swing, or

<em>0.85 * 65 cm = 55.25 cm</em>

Now, to know the length of the arc on the third swing we multiply the length of the arc on the second swing times 0.85:

<em>0.85 * 55.25 cm = 46.962 cm</em>

And finally, the length of the arc on the fourth swing will be the length of the arc in the third swing times 0.85:

0.85 * 46.962 cm = 39.918 cm

maxonik [38]

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

P(x)=^nC_x\ p^x(q)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the adults follow more than one game = 0.30

Then , q= 1-p = 1-0.30=0.70

The number of adults surveyed : n= 15

Let X be represents the adults who follow more than one sport.

Then , the probability that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport,

P(X\leq4)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)\\\\=^{15}C_{0}\ (0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+^{15}C_{1}\ (0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+^{15}C_{2}\ (0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+^{15}C_{3}\ (0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+^{15}C_{4}\ (0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=(0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+15(0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+105(0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+455(0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+1365(0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=0.515491059227\approx0.5

Hence, the probability rounded to the nearest tenth that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport =0.5

denpristay [2]

Answer:

So far we know Jack has a bag of fruits and he if he randomly picks up a fruit from he will most likely get an apple. From this, we know that the percentage of an apple being picked is at least above 50%. And since it is likely we know it could be close to a 70 : 30 ratio.
