Answer:

17,37

Step-by-step explanation:

one number = x

The positive number = 2x + 3

x * (2x+3) = 629

x*2x + x *3 = 629

2x² + 3x - 629 = 0

2x² - 34x + 37x - 17*37 =0

2x*(x -17) + 37(x - 17) = 0

(x - 17)(2x + 37) = 0

x - 17 = 0 ; Ignore 2x + 37 as s is a positive number

x = 17

Positive number = 2*17 +3 = 34+3 = 37

70% of the students applying to a university are accepted. Assume the requirements for a binomial experiment are satisfied for 1

Answer:

a) 0.3826

b) 0.9894

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat students accepted at university as a success.

P(students accepted at university) = 70% = 0.70

Then the number of students accepted at university follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

a) P( 8 or more will be accepted)

$P(x \geq 8) = P(x = 8) + P(x = 9) + P(X=10)\\\\= \binom{10}{8}(0.7)^8(1-0.7)^2 + \binom{10}{9}(0.7)^9(1-0.7)^1+ \binom{10}{10}(0.7)^{10}(1-0.7)^0\\\\= 0.2334 + 0.1210 + 0.0282\\= 0.3826$

b) P(4 or more will be accepted)

$P(x \geq 4) =1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(X=2)-P(x=3)\\\\=1 - ( \binom{10}{0}(0.7)^0(1-0.7)^{10} + \binom{10}{1}(0.7)^1(1-0.7)^9+ \binom{10}{2}(0.7)^{2}(1-0.7)^8+ \binom{10}{3}(0.7)^{3}(1-0.7)^7 )\\\\= 1 - 0.0106\\= 0.9894$

The equation sin(40o) = can be used to determine the length of line segment AC. What is the length of ? Round to the nearest ten

I am Lyosha [343]

The answer:
For more explanation please look at the image.
according to the image, the length of line segment AC can be found as
the following method shows:

<span>sin(40°)= opposite side / hypotenuse, opposite side = b, hypotenuse = AB= 20cm
</span>sin(40°)= b / 20 and this applies, b = 20 x sin(40°) = 0.64*20 = 12.85 cm
AC= 12.85 cm
