Answer:

Option A is correct

4.8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition:

If the centers of two circle radius r and r' are d units apart, then the length of the direct common tangent between them is:

\sqrt{d^2-(r-r')^2}                 ....[1]

As per the statement:

A chain fits tightly around two gears as shown.

Let r' be the radius of the smaller gear.

The radius of lager gear(r) = 14 in

The distance between the centers(d) = 22 in.

Direct common tangent = 20 in.

Substitute in [1] we have;

20 = \sqrt{(22)^2-(14-r')^2}

Squaring both sides we have;

20^2 = 484-(14-r')^2

400= 484-(14-r')^2

⇒(14-r')^2 = 84

Taking square root both sides we have;

14-r' = \sqrt{84}

⇒14-r' = 9.2

Subtract 14 from both sides we have;

-r' = -4.8

Divide both sides by -1 we have;

r' = 4.8 inches

Therefore, the radius of the smaller gear to the nearest tenth is, 4.8 inches

According to the manufacturer, about 31% of chewy candy in a package of Cherry's Chews are strawberry. What is the probability t
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

0.3285

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves Geometric probability distribution because experiment is repeated different number of times until success is achieved.

we have to find P(X≥4). It can be written as P(X≥4)=1-P(X<4)=1-P(X≤3)

P(X≤3)=?

Using Geometric probability distribution

P(X=n)=p^x*q^n-1

P(X≤3)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)

Here p=0.31,

P(X≤3)=0.31^1*0.69^0+0.31^2*0.69^1+0.31^3*0.69^2)=0.6715

P(X≥4)=1-P(X≤3)=1-0.6715=0.3285

The probability that the first strawberry candy chosen from a bag will be, at LEAST, the fourth candy chosen overall is 32.85%.

Lyrx [107]

f(x) 3x+1

g(x) 1x

f(1x) = 3(1x)+1

f = 3x+1

g(3x+1) = 1(3x+1)

g = 3x+1
