Hi there!

Let’s take a look at the question.

One can of paint contains 2 2/5. We can make it easier by transforming the fraction (2 2/5) to a decimal (2.4). Now you have 2.4. Next, it says “one dozen”. One dozen refers to 12 cans. You’ll want to multiply 2.4 with 12.

Your answer is 28.8, or 28 4/5.

Hope this helps!

An oil exploration firm is formed with enough capital to finance ten explorations. The probabil- ity of a particular exploration

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

μ = 1 The firm expects that one oil exploration will be successful.

v(x)= 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to define the random variable x as:

x: number of oil explorations being succesful

Then x can be take this values:

x = 0 , x =1 ... x =10

x is a binomially distributed random variable with parameters.

p = 0.1 and n=10

And the mean or the expected value of x is:

μ = E(x) = np

Then μ = 10*0.1 = 1

And the variance of x is:

V(x) = np(1-p)

V(x) = 10(0.1)(1-0.1)= 0.9

Find the length of a diagonal of a square with sides 10in. long

Ghella [55]

Hey!!!
Answer is....
diagonals of square bisect each other at right angles.
let diagonal be 2x
Using Pythagoras in a triangle enclosed by a side and 2 half diagonals...
${x}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {10}^{2}$
$2 {x}^{2} = 100$
${x }^{2} = 50$
$x = \sqrt{50}$
side of a diagonal=2 sqrt50
$= 10 \sqrt{2}$
