The sum is composite because it is the same as multiplying the number by two.

a parallelogram has one angle that measures 40. what are the measures of the other three angles in the parallelogram?

KonstantinChe [14]

Since one side is 40°, you subtract that from 180.

180° - 40°= 140°.

So therefore your missing side lengths are 140, 40, and 140.

hopefully this helps

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

$\displaystyle P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^xq^{n-x}\\\\P(X=5)=\binom{53}{5}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X=5)=\frac{53!}{(53-5)!*5!}(0.042)^5(0.958)^{48}\\\\P(X=5)\approx0.0478$

Part B

$P(X\leq5)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\\\P(X\leq5)=\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^1(1-0.042)^{53-1}+\binom{53}{2}(0.042)^2(1-0.042)^{53-2}+\binom{53}{3}(0.042)^3(1-0.042)^{53-3}+\binom{53}{4}(0.042)^4(1-0.042)^{53-4}+\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X\leq5)\approx0.9767$
