25% of something is 1/4 of something or .25 of something

In this case, we are looking to find the length of 8 meters increased by 25%.

First we need to find 25% of 8, which by using a calculator, you can see that it is 2 (meters).

Secondly, since we are adding 25% of 8 meters, which is (2 meters) to 8 meters, (which is what is stated in the problem) we get 10 meters!

Hope this helps!

diamong [38]

Answer:

0.070

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = number on trial

Y has a negative binomial distribution

r = 3

P = 30% = 0.3 probability of positive indication.

P(Y = 11) probability of 11 employees that must be tested to get 3 positives

Y-1Cr-1*p^r*q^(y-r)

Y-1 = 11-1 = 10

r-1 = 3 -1 = 2

10C2 x 0.3³x0.7⁸

45x0.027x0.05764801

= 0.070

This is the probability that 11 employees must be tested to get 3 positives.

Solve: In 2x + In 2 = 0 DONE

pychu [463]

Answer:

$x=\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use some logarithmic rules to solve this easily.

Note: Ln means $Log_e$

Now, lets start with the equation:

$ln(2x) + ln(2) = 0\\ln(2x) = -ln(2)$

Writing left side with logarithmic base e, we have:

$Log_{e}(2x) = -ln(2)$

We can now use the property shown below to make this into exponential form:

$Log_{a}b=x\\means\\a^x=b$

So, we write:

$Log_{e}(2x) = -ln(2)\\e^{-ln(2)}=2x$

We recognize another property of exponentials:

$a^{bc}=(a^{b})^{c}$

So, we write:

$e^{-ln(2)}=2x\\(e^{ln(2)})^{-1}=2x$

Also, another property of natural logarithms is:

$e^{(ln(a))}=a$

Now, we simplify:

$(e^{ln(2)})^{-1}=2x\\(2)^{-1}=2x\\\frac{1}{2}=2x\\x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}\\x=\frac{1}{4}$

This is the answer.

Mark is installing a mosaic tile backsplash and the shape of the tiles are shaped like regular octagons. Each tile has a length

sineoko [7]

Answer:

square with sides of 6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Tessellation is the arrangement of shapes in repeated patterns without gaps or overlapping.

Tessellation is usually done with regular polygons. Only three regular shapes can tessellate, these are equilateral triangle, regular square and regular hexagon. For other polygon to tessellate, more than one shape must be used. A octagon can be used to make tessellations if it is used together with a square.

Mark uses tiles with shape of octagon of sides 6 in. To fill the gaps, Mark have to uses a square with sides of 6 in
