A square patio has an area of 200 square feet. How long is each side of patio to the nearest 0.05?

1 answer:

4 0

The area of the square is expressed in the formula A = s^2 where is the length of the square. A square has four equal lengths. In this case, we are given with an area of 200 feet. The side then is the square root of 200 equal to 14.14 feet.

so 14.14 feet

Answer:

a)P=0.42

b) $n\geq 297$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a binomial distribution, since the result of each experiment admits only two categories (success and failure) and the value of both possibilities is constant in all experiments. The probability of getting k successes in n trials is given by:

$P=\begin{pmatrix}n\\ k\end{pmatrix} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n!-k!)}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

a) we have k=2, n=10 and p=0.01:

$P=\frac{10!}{2!(10!-2!)}0.01^2(1-0.01)^{10-2}\\P=\frac{10!}{2!*8!}0.01^2(0.99)^{8}\\P=45*0.01^2(0.99)^8=0.42$

b) We have, $1-(1-p)^n=P$ , Here P is the probability that at least one particle will penetrate the shield, this probabity has to be equal or greater than 0.95. Therefore, this will be equal to subtract from the total probability, the probability that the particles do not penetrate raised to the total number of particles.
