<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

<em>Hence,</em>

<em>P(X\geq2)=0.765</em>

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

There are total 9 databases.

Only 5 of these databases contain the given keyword.

we have to find the  probability that it will be found in at least 2 of the first 4 searched databases.

So, we will use the binomial to find this probability.

<em>We know that the probability of r successes out of the n outcomes is calculated as:</em>

<em>P(X=r)=n_C_rp^r(1-p)^{n-r}</em>

<em>Where p denote the probability of success.</em>

<em>and </em>

<em>n_C_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!\times (n-r)!}</em>

p=5/9 ( since out of the 9 databases 5 contain the given keyword)

1-p=4/9.

so, we have to find:

P(X\geq2)

Here n=4

Also,

P(X\geq2)=P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)

P(X=2)=4_C_2\times (\dfrac{5}{9})^2\times (\dfrac{4}{9})^2----------(1)

P(X=3)=4_C_3\times (\dfrac{5}{9})^3\times (\dfrac{4}{9})^1----------(2)

P(X=4)=4_C_4\times (\dfrac{5}{9})^4\times (\dfrac{4}{9})^0---------(3)

Hence, the probability is calculated by adding equation (1),(2) and (3).

Hence,

P(X\geq2)=0.765

The base of a triangle is 4 cm greater than the
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area of a triangle:

Height x Base /2

Base (b) = h +4

Height = h

h + 4 x h /2 = 30cm

=> h +4 x h = 60

=> h+4h =60

=> 5h = 60

=> h = 12

Height = 12

Base = 12 +4 = 16

What is the answer? I find this very confusing for me.
vichka [17]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the answer of the equation, sub the given information into it:

z + xz + y

we know that:

x = 5

y = 1

z = 3

We got:

= 3 + 5*3 + 1

= 3 + 15 + 1

= 19

Hope this helped :3
