Which of the following reasons could be used to conclude that the lines are parallel based on the given information?

2 answers:

7 0

We have been given three statements. From those statements, we have to pick the statement that can conclude that that two lines are parallel.

Statement 1:

If right angles are formed, then lines are parallel.

This is not valid because if the angle formed is right angle then lines forming right angle will be perpendicular.

Statement 2:

If two lines are perpendicular to another line, then they are parallel.

This is valid because the line on which other two lines are perpendicular will work as transversal and the alternet interior angles will be equal. Hence the two perpendicular lines on given line will be parallel to each other.

Statement 3:

If alternate interior angles are equal, then lines are parallel.

This is valid as explained above.

Hence final answer are statement 2 and statement 3 both.

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%

Contact [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - C. 11.45 ounces to 11.75 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule of the distribution for 68% falls under the normal curve falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

That is:

μ±δ

From the given information, the mean is

μ = 11.60

and the standard deviation is

δ = 0.15

We substitute the given parameters to obtain;

11.60±0.15

11.75 and 11.45

This means the lower limit is

11.45

and the upper limit is

11.75
