Answer:

P(X \geq 6) = P(X=6) +P(X=7) +P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=6)=(10C6)(0.5)^6 (1-0.5)^{10-6}=0.205

P(X=7)=(10C7)(0.5)^7 (1-0.5)^{10-7}=0.117

P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.5)^8 (1-0.5)^{10-8}=0.0439

P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.5)^9 (1-0.5)^{10-9}=0.0098

P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.5)^{10} (1-0.5)^{10-10}=0.000977

And adding the values we got:

P(X\geq 6) = 0.377

The best answer would be:

D. 0.377

Step-by-step explanation:

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

X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.5)

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!}

For this case in order to pass he needs to answer at leat 6 questions and we can rewrite this:

P(X \geq 6) = P(X=6) +P(X=7) +P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=6)=(10C6)(0.5)^6 (1-0.5)^{10-6}=0.205

P(X=7)=(10C7)(0.5)^7 (1-0.5)^{10-7}=0.117

P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.5)^8 (1-0.5)^{10-8}=0.0439

P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.5)^9 (1-0.5)^{10-9}=0.0098

P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.5)^{10} (1-0.5)^{10-10}=0.000977

And adding the values we got:

P(X\geq 6) = 0.377

The best answer would be:

D. 0.377

If JKLM is a rhombus, MK = 30, NL = 13, and mZMKL = 41°, find each measure.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

NK = 15

JL = 26

KL = 19.85

\angle JKM =49

\angle JML =41

\angle MLK = 90

\angle MNL =90

\angle KJL =41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

MK = 30

NL = 13

\angle MKL = 41

Solving (a): NK

MK is a diagonal and NK is half of the diagonal. So:

NK = \frac{1}{2} * MK

NK = \frac{1}{2} * 30

NK = 15

Solving (b): JL

JL is a diagonal, and it is twice of NL.

JL = 2 * NL

JL = 2 * 13

JL = 26

Solving (c): KL

To solve for KL, we consider triangle KNL where:

\angle KNL = 90

and

KL^2 = NL^2 + NK^2

KL^2 = 13^2 + 15^2

KL^2 = 394

KL = \sqrt{394

KL = 19.85

Solving (d - h):

To do this, we consider triangle JKN

\angle KNL = \angle LNM = \angle MNJ = \angle JNK = 90 -- diagonals bisect one another at right angle

Alternate interior angles are equal. So:

\angle MKL = \angle KMJ = \angle KJL = \angle JLM = 41

Similarly:

\angle MKJ = \angle KML = \angle MJL = \angle JLK = 90 - 41

\angle MKJ = \angle KML = \angle MJL = \angle JLK = 49

So:

\angle JKM =49

\angle JML =41

\angle MLK = \angle MLJ + \angle JLK

\angle MLK = 49 + 41

\angle MLK = 90

\angle MNL =90

\angle KJL =41

In a parallelogram, if the measure of y is 32 degrees what is the measure of w
alekssr [168]
Talking about a parallelogram, we know that:
opposite sides and angles are congruent
in the picture below:
∠A = ∠C
AD = BC
if one angle is right, then the rest are right as well (making it a rectangle/square)
The consecutive angles are supplementary (meaning they add up to 180)
A + D = 180°

If y and w are consecutive angles, then 
w = 180 - 32
    =148°
If they are opposite angles, w = 32° (congruent angles)
