Answer:

Number of Questions =3

Probability of giving a correct answer

                              =\frac{1}{3}

Probability of giving two correct answers

                       =\frac{2}{3}

Probability of giving all correct answers

            =\frac{3}{3}\\\\=1

Probability that at least one of them is correct

         =_{1}^{3}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{3!}{(3-1)! \times1!}\\\\=3 \text{ways}\\\\=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \\\\=\frac{1}{27}

Probability that two of them is correct

         =_{2}^{3}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{3!}{(3-2)! \times2!}\\\\=3 \text{ways}\\\\=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \\\\=\frac{8}{27}

Probability that all of them is correct

         =_{3}^{3}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{3!}{(3-3)! \times3!}\\\\=1 \text{way}\\\\=1

So, Required probability

         =\frac{1}{27} \times \frac{8}{27} \times 1\\\\=\frac{8}{729}

Over a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. The tide measures 4.35 ft at
netineya [11]

Answer:

  f(x) = 4.35 +3.95·sin(πx/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

For problems of this sort, a sine function is used that is of the form ...

  f(x) = A + Bsin(2πx/P)

where A is the average or middle value of the oscillation, B is the one-sided amplitude, P is the period in the same units as x.

It is rare that a tide function has a period (P) of 24 hours, but we'll use that value since the problem statement requires it. The value of A is the middle value of the oscillation, 4.35 ft in this problem. The value of B is the amplitude, given as 8.3 ft -4.35 ft = 3.95 ft. Putting these values into the form gives ...

  f(x) = 4.35 + 3.95·sin(2πx/24)

The argument of the sine function can be simplified to πx/12, as in the Answer, above.

Your friend George is 6 feet tall and his shadow is 10 feet long. At the same time, the shadow of the flagpole was 85 feet long.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

51 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the height of a flagpole

we know that

Using proportion

\frac{6}{10}=\frac{x}{85} \\\\x=6*85/10\\\\x=51\ ft

You want to know the side length of the square swimming pool. Explain how you can use the perimeter then find the side length to
olganol [36]

Its a square pool and its perimeter is 100 yards.

We know that a square has 4 sides with the same length so we can give a square perimeter by the sum of their 4 sides

Lets call the side "l" and since we have 4 of them we need to sum it 4 times

l + l + l + l = perimeter

4l = perimeter

We know the perimeter

4l = 100

Divide both sides by 4

4l/4 = 100/4

l = 25

So the side length is equal to 25 yards
