The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is P =  2(l+w) P is perimeter, l = length, and w = width. Since the length is 5 less than the width, we could also say that l = w-5. Now, plug it into the equation.
86 = 2(w-5+w)
86 = 2(2w-5)
86 = 4w-10
86+10 = 4w-10+10
96 = 4w
96/4 = 4w/4
24 = w
Since the length is 5 less than the width, or 24, plug it in.
l = w-5
l = 24-5
l = 19

Find the probability that a Type A bulb lasts at least 300 hours and a Type B bulb lasts at least 400 hours.
barxatty [35]

Answer:

P(X>3)P(X>4)=(1-F_1(3))(1-F_2(4))

Step-by-step explanation:

We require more information by I will explain in principle:

If Type A has at least 300 hours and Type B at least 400 hours.

(X>3)(Y>4)=P(X>3)P(X>4)

You need to determine the Probability density function of X and Y and then subtract 1 from both

P(X>3)P(X>4)=(1-F_1(3))(1-F_2(4))

This will give you the probability of the expression.

The sides of the cubes are numbered 1 through 6. if they are both tossed, what is the probability that they will both be a 3?
Elodia [21]

Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

the sides of the cubes are numbered 1 through 6,

So,

P(\text{ getting a 3})=\frac{1}{6}

if they are both tossed ,

Probability (getting that they will both be a 3) is given by

=\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{36}

(∵\\P(\text{A and B})=P(A\cap B)=P(A).P(B)\\)

Therefore, Option 'C' is correct.

Jason has two bags with 6 tiles each.
taurus [48]

assuming the tiles are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

there is one tile with the number 2 on it in the first bag

 and 1 tile with the number 3 on it in the second bag

so you have a 1/6 probability of picking the 2 and a 1/6 probability of picking the 3

so 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36 probability of picking them both
