Answer: 0.951%

Explanation:

Note that in the problem, the scenario is either the adult is using or not using smartphones. So, we have a yes or no scenario involved with the random variable, which is the number of adults using smartphones. Thus, the number of adults using smartphones follows the binomial distribution.

Let x be the number of adults using smartphones and n be the number of randomly selected adults. In Binomial distribution, the probability that there are k adults using smartphones is given by

P(x = k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Where p = probability that an adult is using smartphones = 54% (since 54% of adults are using smartphones). 

Since n = 12 and k = 3, the probability that fewer than 3 are using smartphones is given by

P(x \ \textless \  3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{0!(12-0)!}(0.54)^0 (1-0.54)^{12-0} + \frac{12!}{1!(12-1)!}(0.54)^1 (1-0.54)^{12-1} + \\ \indent \frac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}(0.54)^2 (1-0.54)^{12-2}
\\
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{(1)(12!)}(0.46)^{12} + \frac{12(11!)}{(1)(11!)}(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ \frac{12(11)(10!)}{(2)(10!)}(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\
\\ \indent = (1)(0.46)^{12} + (12)(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ (66)(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\ \indent \boxed{P(x \ \textless \  3) \approx 0.00951836732 }


Therefore, the probability that there are fewer than 3 adults are using smartphone is 0.00951 or 0.951%.

Answer:

<h2>40°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We have parallel lines.

Angles 1 and 2 are alternate angles.

With parallel lines, alternate angles are congruent.

Therefore

m\angle1=m\angle2

m\angle1=2x+20,\ m\angle2=3x+10\\\\2x+20=3x+10\qquad\text{subtract 20 from both sides}\\\\2x+20-20=3x+10-20\\\\2x=3x-10\qquad\text{subtract}\ 3x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-3x=3x-3x-10\\\\-x=-10\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x=10\\\\m\angle1=2(10)+20=20+20=40

PLZ HELP I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

  7 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many geometry problems, there are several ways you can work this.

Label the lower left  and lower right vertices of the rectangle points W and E, respectively. You can subtract the areas of triangles WSR and EQR from the area of trapezoid WSQE to find the area of triangle QRS.

The applicable formulas are ...

  area of a trapezoid: A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

  area of a triangle: A = (1/2)bh

So, our areas are ...

  AQRS = AWSQE - AWSR - AEQR

  = (1/2)(WS +EQ)WE -(1/2)(WS)(WR) -(1/2)(EQ)(ER)

Factoring out 1/2, we have ...

  = (1/2)((2+5)·4 -2·2 -5·2)

  = (1/2)(28 -4 -10) = 7 . . . . square units
