If five numbers are selected at random from the set {1,2,3,...,20}, what is the probability that their minimum is larger than 5?

(A number can be chosen more than once, and the order in which you select the numbers matters)

Answer:

the probability that their minimum is larger than 5 is 0.2373

Step-by-step explanation:

For calculate the probability we need to make a división between the total ways to selected the 5 numbers and the ways to select the five numbers in which every number is larger than 5.

So the number of possibilities to select 5 numbers from 20 is:

<u>20                </u> * <u>      20         </u>*  <u>        20     </u> *<u>        20         </u>* <u>       20 </u>

First number  2nd number   3rd number  4th number   5th number

Taking into account that a number can be chosen more than once, and the order in which you select the numbers matters, for every position we have 20 options so, there are  20^{5} ways to select 5 numbers.

Then the number of possibilities in which their minimum number is larger than 5 is calculate as:

<u>15                </u> * <u>      15         </u>*  <u>           15     </u> *<u>        15          </u>* <u>       15 </u>

First number  2nd number   3rd number  4th number   5th number

This time for every option we can choose number from 6 to 20, so we have 15 numbers for every option and the total ways that satisfy the condition are  15^{5}

So the probability P can be calculate as:

P=\frac{15^{5} }{20^{5} } \\P=0.2373

Then the probability that their minimum is larger than 5 is 0.2373

These two rectangles are similar which is a correct proportion for corresponding sides
hammer [34]

to make the proportion we make the ratio of the similar sides

For example

4/8 = 12/x

or we can write it as 4/12 = 8/x

or 12/x = 4/8

So last option is correct

Find the dimensions of a deck which will have railings on only three sides. There is 28 m of railing available and the deck must
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.

if you place a 5ft ladder against the top of a 4ft building how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bottom of th
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you imagine the sentence, it is a right angled triangle. In this case, it's a Pythagoras Theorem. The formula for it is:

a²(opposite) + b²(adjacent) = c²(hypotenuse)

The building is the opposite, the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building is the adjacent, while the ladder is the hypotenuse.

We have the measurements except for the adjacent. So it will be:

c² - a² = b²

5² - 4² = b²

25 - 16 = b²

9 = b²

√9 = b

b = 3 ft

The answer is 3 ft.
