The value of x is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In a probability distribution, probability should be between 0  and 1. The probabilities add up to one.

Given probabilities are:

\frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{2}, x

The sum of these probabilities will be equal to 1.

So,

To find x,

\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}+x = 1\\\frac{1+2+5}{10}+x=1\\\frac{8}{10}+x=1\\x= 1- \frac{8}{10}\\x = 1- \frac{4}{5}\\x= \frac{5-4}{5}\\x=\frac{1}{5}

The value of x is 1/5

KatRina [158]

Answer:

difference in the proportion = 0.0452

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 = 27, n1 = 193,

p1 = 27/193

p1 = 0.1399

x2 = 16, n2 = 169,

p2 = 16/169

p2 = 0.0947

a) The best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers, using male proportion minus female proportion is 0.0452. Male smokes more than females in given sample.

p1 - p2 = 0.1399 - 0.0947

p1 - p2 = 0.0452

svp [43]

Answer:

≈ 27 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle formed by the building and the ground.

tan15° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{?}{100} ( multiply both sides by 100 )

100 × tan15° = ? , then

? ≈ 27 ft ( to the nearest whole number )
