Your younger sister has a toy that swings back and forth when it is pushed. Your sister pushes the toy and lets it swing freely.

On the first swing, the toy travels 45 inches. On each successive swing, the toy travels 50% of the distance of the previous swing. What is the total distance the toy swings?

The probability that a grader will make a marking error on any particular question of a multiple-choice exam is 0.15. If there a

sashaice [31]

Answer:

$P(X=0)=(10C10)(0.15)^{0} (1-0.15)^{10-0}=0.1969$

$P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X$

$P(X=0)=(nCn)(p)^{0} (1-p)^{n-0}=(1-p)^n$

$P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A Bernoulli trial is "a random experiment with exactly two possible outcomes, "success" and "failure", in which the probability of success is the same every time the experiment is conducted". And this experiment is a particular case of the binomial experiment.

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:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: $P(A)+P(A') =1$

Solution to the problem

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

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.15)$

what is the probability that no errors are made?

For this case means that all the questions were correct so we want this probability:

$P(X=0)=(10C10)(0.15)^{0} (1-0.15)^{10-0}=0.1969$

what is the probability that at least one error made?

For this case we want this probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule:

$P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X$

If there are n questions and the probability of a marking error is p rather than 0.15, give expressions for the probabilities of no errors and at least one error

$P(X=0)=(nCn)(p)^{0} (1-p)^{n-0}=(1-p)^n$

$P(X \geq 1)= 1-P(X$

a square garden has a diagonal of 12 m. What is the perimeter of the garden? Express in simplest radical form

lianna [129]

Answer:

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonal of a square:

The diagonal of a square is found applying the Pythagorean Theorem.

The diagonal of the square is the hypothenuse, while we have two sides.

Diagonal of 12m:

This means that $d = 12$ , side s. So

$s^2 + s^2 = 12^2$

$2s^2 = 144$

$s^2 = \frac{144}{2}$

$s^2 = 72$

$s = \sqrt{72}$

Factoring 72:

Factoring 72 into prime factors, we have that:

72|2

36|2

18|2

9|3

3|3

1

So

$72 = 2^{3}*3^{2}$

So, in simplest radical form:

$s = \sqrt{72} = \sqrt{2^{3}*3^{2}} = \sqrt{2^3}*\sqrt{3^2} = 2\sqrt{2}*3 = 6\sqrt{2}$

Perimeter of the garden:

The perimeter of a square with side of s units is given by:

$P = 4s$

In this question, since $s = 6\sqrt{2}$

$P = 4s = 4*6\sqrt{2} = 24\sqrt{2}$

The perimeter of the garden, in meters, is $24\sqrt{2}$

PLEASE HELP<br>what is the value of x? enter your answer in the box

Mashcka [7]

Answer: 3

For this question, we will use the angle bisector theorem.

Angle Bisector Theorem: In geometry, the angle bisector theorem is concerned with the relative lengths of the two segments that a triangle's side is divided into by a line that bisects the opposite angle. It equates their relative lengths to the relative lengths of the other two sides of the triangle.

Now let's place it according to a general formula.

x/2.25 = 4/3

x= 4/3 * 2.25

x= 3

There you go! now you know the answer and the way to do it! Brainliest pweasee if the answer is correct and helpful!
