The probability is 8.7%.

To find P(X<2), we find P(X = 1 or X = 0).  For a binomial distribution, we use the formula
_nC_r(p)^r(1-p)^{n-r}

For this problem, p=0.6 and n=5:
_5C_1(0.6)^1(1-0.6)^4+_5C_0(0.6)^0(1-0.6)^5&#10;\\&#10;\\_5C_1(0.6)(0.4)^4+_5C_0(0.4)^5&#10;\\&#10;\\ \frac{5!}{1!4!}(0.6)(0.4)^4+\frac{5!}{0!5!}(0.4)^5&#10;\\&#10;\\ 5(0.6)(0.4)^4+(0.4)^5&#10;\\&#10;\\0.0768+0.01024 = 0.08704\approx0.087=8.7%

A large brine tank containing a solution of salt and water is being diluted with fresh water.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

41.04 g/L

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship is modeled by the following function:

S(t) = 500*e^(-0.25*t)

where t is time elapsed after the dilution begins (in hours) and S(t) the concentration of  salt in the tank (in g/L)

Replacing with t = 10

S(t) = 500*e^(-0.25*10)

S(t) = 41.04 g/L

Evaluating the Six Trigonometric Function Question attached
ziro4ka [17]
If tan theta is -1, we know immediately that theta is in either Quadrant II or Q IV.  We need to focus on Q IV due to the restrictions on theta.

Because tan theta is -1, the ray representing theta makes a 45 degree angle with the horiz axis, and a 45 degree angle with the negative vert. axis.  Thus the hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean Theorem, tells us that the hyp is sqrt(2).
Thus, the cosine of theta is adj / hyp, or +1 / sqrt(2), or [sqrt(2)]/2

The secant of theta is the reciprocal of that, and thus is

   2            sqrt(2)
---------- * ------------ = sqrt(2)    (answer)
 sqrt(2)      sqrt(2)

How do I do question 9 &amp; 11? Please help thank you!

<h2>9.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • sphere with radius 15 cm
<h3>Find</h3>
  • linear approximation to the volume when the radius increases 0.4 cm
<h3>Solution</h3>

The equation for volume of a sphere is

... V = (4/3)π·r³

Differentiating gives

... dV = 4π·r²·dr

Filling in the given numbers gives

... change in volume ≈ 4π·(15 cm)²·(0.4 cm)

... = 360π cm³ ≈ 1130.97 cm³ . . . . . . volume of layer 4mm thick

<h2>11.</h2><h3>Given</h3>
  • an x by x by 2x cuboid with surface area 129.6 cm²
  • rate of change of x is 0.01 cm/s
<h3>Find</h3>
  • rate of change of volume
<h3>Solution</h3>

The area is that of two cubes of dimension x joined together. The area of each such cube is 6x², but the two joined faces don't count in the external surface area. Thus the area of the cuboid is 10x².

The volume of the cuboid is that of two cubes joined, so is 2x³. Then the rate of change of volume is

... dV/dt = (d/dt)(2x³) = 6x²·dx/dt

We know x² = A/10, where A is the area of the cuboid, so the rate of change of volume is ...

... dV/dt = (6/10)A·dx/dt = 0.6·(129.6 cm²)(0.01 cm/s)

... dV/dt = 0.7776 cm³/s

Loan A (bank) requires a total payback of $54,289.44 while Loan B (dealership) requires a total payback of $55,098.60.
dedylja [7]

Answer: Loan B requires more interest by $809.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the total pay back of loan B from loan A

= $55,098.60 - $54,289.44

= $809.16

I hope this helps, please mark as brainliest answer.
