Answer:

  1. BC = 6
  2. x = 5
  3. CE = 16
  4. Yes, BC║DE

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The parallel lines make the various triangles similar, so the corresponding sides are in proportion.

... BC/AB = FE/A.F

... BC/9 = 4/6

... BC = 9·4/6 = 6

2. As in problem 1, the triangles are similar, so ...

... x/(x+10) = 10/30

... 30x = 10x + 100 . . . . multiply by 30(x+10)

... 20x = 100 . . . . . . . . . subtract 10x

... x = 100/20 = 5

3. As in problems 1 and 2, the triangles are similar, so ...

... AD/DB = CE/EB

... 24/27 = CE/18

... 18·24/27 = CE = 16

4. If the lines of interest are parallel, the triangles will be similar and corresponding measures will be in proportion.

Compare AD/DB = 15/12 = 5/4 to AE/EC = 10/8 = 5/4. These are equal, so corresponding measures are proportional. Therefore we conclude the triangles are similar and BC║DE.

If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not​ fixed, then the geomet
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0428

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:

P(X=k) =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\k\end{array}\right] p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k} where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.

However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:

P(X=x) = p(1-p)^{x-1}\\

The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)

Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:

p = 0.05

x = 4

Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:

P(X=4) = 0.05(1-0.05)^{4-1}\\P(X=4) = 0.05 (0.95)^{3}\\P(X=4) = 0.05(.8573)\\P(X=4) = 0.0428

Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%
