Punctele A,B si C sunt coliniare in aceasta ordine.Aflati lungimea segmentului:a)AB,daca AC=20cm,BC=0,12dm

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The length of the segment AB is 18.8 cm or 1.88 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Points A, B and C are collinear in this order. Find the length of the segment: a) AB, if AC = 20 cm, BC = 0.12 dm

we have that

$AC=AB+BC$ ----> by Addition segment postulate

substitute the given values in centimeters

Remember that

$1\ dm=10\ cm$

so

$0.12\ dm=0.12(10)=1.2\ cm$

$20=AB+1.2$

solve for AB

$AB=20-1.2\\AB=18.8\ cm$

Convert to dm

$18.8\ cm=18.8/10=1.88\ dm$

therefore

The length of the segment AB is 18.8 cm or 1.88 dm

The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that $p = 0.0131$

We wanto to find, with $n = 100$ :

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226$

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that $p = 0.0087$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837$

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po

Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $h$ the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is $h - 49$ .

The wire length $d$ is 14 ft longer than height $h$ , hence

$d= h+14$ .

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse $d= y+14$ , perpendicular $h$ , and base $h-49$ ; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

$(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2$

which upon expanding we get:

$h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196$

further simplification gives

$h^2-126h+2205=0$ ,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

$h =21ft\\h = 105ft.$

Since the first solution $h =21ft$ will give the triangle base length of $21ft-49ft = -28ft$ which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution $h = 105ft$ .

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.
