Answer:

The length of straw is 21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Lengths of straw = 4x^2-3 , 4x^2-2, 4x^2-1 inches.

Perimeter of the triangle is 12x^2-6  inches.

Perimeter of triangle is sum of three sides .

Thus, when we open the triangle we obtain the length of straw thus perimeter is the length of the straw.

Given x = 1.5 inches

Put in perimeter, we get,

Length of straw = Perimeter of triangle= 12x^2-6 at x = 1.5 inches

\Rightarrow 12(1.5)^2-6=12\times2.25-6=27-6=21

Thus, the length of straw is 21 inches.

Solve |x-3|=7 plz help asap I will mark brainliest
Liula [17]

Answer:

x=10  or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

|x-3|=7

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

x-3 = 7   and x-3 = -7

Add 3 to all sides

x-3+3 = 7+3           x-3+3 = -7+3

x = 10                    x = -4

Naily [24]

Answer:

$1023.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Joan wants to buy a new TV that costs $1299.99. The store has a discount on the TV for 30% off. The city Joan lives in has a 12.5% sales tax. What will be the total cost of the TV?

Step 1

We find the new price after the discount.

Discount = % Discount × Current price

= 30% × $1299.99

= $389.997

The new discounted price =

$1299.99 - $389.997

= $909.993

Step 2

We calculate the Sales tax

The city Joan lives in has a 12.5% sales tax.

Hence,

The sales tax =

12.5% × $909.993

= 12.5/100 × $909.993

= $113.749125

Step 3

The total cost of the TV is calculated as:

Sales Tax + Discounted price

= $113.749125 + $909.993

= $1023.742125

Approximately = $1023.74

The total cost of the TV = $1023.74

During the 2013 regular NBA season, DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers had the highest field goal completion rate in the
melomori [17]

Answer:

a) The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we know that:

X \sim Binom(n=80, p=0.613)

b) \mu = n*p = 80*0.613= 49.04

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{80*0.613*(1-0.613)}= 4.356

c) For this case we can use the following excel code:

"=BINOM.DIST(60,80,0.613,FALSE)"

And we got 0.00355

d) P(X>50) 1-P(X \leq 50)

And we can use the following excel code:

"=1-BINOM.DIST(50,80,0.613,TRUE)"

And we got 0.3718

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following questions:

a) What is the probability distirbution for X?

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we know that:

X \sim Binom(n=80, p=0.613)

b) Using formula calculate the mean and standard deviation of X

By properties we have:

\mu = n*p = 80*0.613= 49.04

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)}= \sqrt{80*0.613*(1-0.613)}= 4.356

c) Use your calculator to find the probability that DeAndre scored with 60 of these shots

For this case we can use the following excel code:

"=BINOM.DIST(60,80,0.613,FALSE)"

And we got 0.00355

d) Find the probability that DeAndre scores with more than 50 of these shots

We want this probability:

P(X>50) 1-P(X \leq 50)

And we can use the following excel code:

"=1-BINOM.DIST(50,80,0.613,TRUE)"

And we got 0.3718

4g+ (3h-4j) h equals 10 g equals 6 j equals 5
butalik [34]

The value of the function 4g+ (3h-4j) is 34.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

It should be noted that the function that is given is illustrated as:

4g+ (3h-4j)

h = 10

g = 6

j = 5

We will put the values into the expression. This will be

4g+ (3h-4j)

= 4(6) + 3(10) - 4(5)

= 24 + 30 - 20

= 34

Therefore, the value of the function 4g+ (3h-4j) is 34.
