The Frostburg-Truth bus travels on a straight road from Frostburg Mall to Sojourner Truth Park. The mall is 3 miles west and 4 m

iles south of the City Center. The park is 3 miles east and 5 miles north of the Center. How far is it from the mall to the park to the nearest tenth of a mile/12482564/8273204d?utm_source=registration

The park is a total of 3+3 = 6 miles east of the mall, and 4+5=9 miles north of it. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the straight-line distance in miles is
  √(6² +9²) = √117 ≈ 10.8

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers. Find the probability that for any particular 10 containers the numb
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) P(X = 1) = 0.38742

b) P(X = 3) = 0.05740

c) P(X = 9) = 0.00000

d) P(X \geq 5) = 0.00163

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is undefilled, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

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 combinatios 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.

In this problem

There are 10 containers, so n = 10.

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers, so p = 0.1.

a) This is P(X = 1)

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742

b) This is P(X = 3)

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740

c) This is P(X = 9)

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.1)^{9}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.00000

d) This is P(X \geq 5).

Either the number is lesser than five, or it is five or larger. The sum of the probabilities of each event is decimal 1. So:

P(X < 5) + P(X \geq 5) = 1

P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)

In which

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.34868

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{8} = 0.1937

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742

So

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.34868 + 0.38742 + 0.19371 + 0.05740 + 0.01116 = 0.99837

Finally

P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.99837 = 0.00163

Given that / and /, which postulate or theorem can be used to show that all 3 center triangles in the Antigua and Barbuda flag a
MrRissso [65]
Given that we assume that all the bases of the triangles are parallel.

We can use AAA or Angle-Angle-Angle to prove that these triangles are similar.

Each parallel line creates the same angle when intersecting with the same side.
For example:
The bases of each triangle cross the left side of all the triangle.
Each angle made by the intersecting of the the parallel base and the side are the same.
Thus, each corresponding angle of all the triangles are congruent.
If these angles are congruent, then we have similar triangles.

The sum of a number, n, and a number 5 larger than it is 41.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

If you set the equation up, it would be n + 5 = 41. If you subtract the 5 from both sides to get n by itself, you get n = 36.
