Answer:

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of beetles in Week 0= 6

Population of beetles in Week 7= 83

From week 0 to week 7 there are 8 weeks.

But subtracting population of week 0 from population of week 7 gives

= 83-6

= 77

After the subtraction, we have 7 weeks remaining.

Dividing the remaining population by the number of weeks remaining

=77/7

= 11

For n number of weeks, population p of beetles

P(n)= p0 + 11(n)

Where p0= population of week 0

P(n) = population of n weeks

n= number of weeks

In a certain country, the true probability of a baby being a girl is 0.469. Among the next seven randomly selected births in th

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The probability is 0.995 ( approx ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the event of baby girl,

The probability of a baby being a girl is, p = 0.469,

So, the probability of a baby who is not a girl is, q = 1 - 0.469 = 0.531,

Also, the total number of experiment, n = 7

Thus, by the binomial distribution formula,

$P(x)=^nC_x(p)^x q^{n-x}$

Where, $^nC_x=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The probability that all babies are girl or there is no baby boy,

$P(X=7)=^7C_7(0.469)^7(0.531)^{7-7}$

$=0.00499125661758$

Hence, the probability that at least one of them is a boy = 1 - P(X=7)

= 1 - 0.00499125661758

= 0.995008743382

≈ 0.995

7/10 you just get the decimal form of the numbers and find a simple decimal between them, which was 7, and put it over 10 so you get 7/10

The area of a rectangle is represented by the polynomial x^2+3x-6x-18. What are the length, width, and area of the rectangle if

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Length = 15

Width = 6

Area = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle = ${x}^{2} + 3x - 6x - 18$

Lets factorise the polynomial

$= > x(x + 3) - 6(x + 3)$

$= > (x + 3)(x - 6)$

We know that Area = Length × Width

Let the length be (x + 3) & width be (x - 6)

Its given in the question that x = 12. So putting the value of x gives ,

Length = $x + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15$

Width = $x - 6 = 12 - 6 = 6$

Area = Length × Width = 15 × 6 = 90

Can somebody write me a 5 sentence paragraph summary about geometry ??

kotegsom [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometry is one of the oldest branches of math. Geometry is mostly about distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. It is related to measurement, relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. There are 8 types of Geometry and the basic concepts of Geometry are point, line and plane. It isn't possible to exactly define the terms, however, we know it is refers to the mark of the position and has an accurate location.

Hope this helps :)
