A certain delivery service offers both express and standard delivery. 75% of parcels are sent by standard delivery, and 25% are

sent by express. Of those sent standard, 80% arrive the next day, and of those sent express, 95% arrive the next day. A record of parcel delivery is chosen at random from the company's files.What is the probability that the parcel was shipped expressed and arrived the next day?

Answer:

The probability that the parcel was shipped expressed and arrived the next day = 0.2375 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain delivery service offers both express and standard delivery.

Let Proportion of parcels sent by standard delivery, P( $A_1$ ) = 0.75

Proportion of parcels sent by express delivery, P( $A_2$ ) = 0.25

Let <em>event B = Parcel arriving the next day</em>

Also, Probability of parcel arriving the next day given it was sent through standard delivery, P(B/ $A_1$ ) = 0.8

Probability of parcel arriving the next day given it was sent through express delivery, P(B/ $A_2$ ) = 0.95

Now, Probability that the parcel was shipped expressed and arrived the next day = P( $A_2$ ) * P(B/ $A_2$ ) = 0.25 * 0.95 = 0.2375 .

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, = 6 centime

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Part A) see the explanation

Part B) see the explanation

Part C) The perimeter of trapezoid ABCD is 32 centimeters and the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The isosceles trapezoids, ABCD and EFGH, are similar quadrilaterals. The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

Part A) Write a similarity statement for each of the four pair of corresponding sides

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

The corresponding sides are

AB and EF

BC and FG

CD and GH

AD and EH

so

$\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{BC}{FG}=\frac{CD}{GH}=\frac{AD}{EH}$

Part B) Write a congruence statement for each of the four pair of corresponding angles.

we know that

If two figures are similar, then its corresponding angles are congruent

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠E

∠B and ∠F

∠C and ∠G

∠D and ∠H

so

∠A ≅ ∠E

∠B ≅ ∠F

∠C ≅ ∠G

∠D ≅ ∠H

Part C) Determine the perimeter for each of the isosceles trapezoids

we have

The scale factor between the trapezoids is 2:3, GH = 6 centimeters, AD = 8 centimeters, and AB is three times the length of DC

step 1

Find the measure of CD

Remember that

The ratio between corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is the scale factor

Let

z ----> the scale factor

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

so

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{GH}}$

we have

$GH=6\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{CD}{6}}\\\\CD=4\ cm$

step 2

Find the measure of AB

Remember that

AB is three times the length of DC

so

$AB=3DC$

$DC=CD=4\ cm$

substitute

$AB=3(4)=12\ cm$

step 3

Find the measure of BC

Remember that in an isosceles trapezoid, the legs are equal

so

BC=AD

we have

$AD=8\ cm$

therefore

$BC=8\ cm$

step 4

Find the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

$P=AB+BC+CD+AD$

substitute the values

$P=12+8+4+8=32\ cm$

step 5

Find the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

Let

z ---> the scale factor

x ----> the perimeter of trapezoid ABCD

y ----> the perimeter of trapezoid EFGH

so

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{2}{3}$

$x=32\ cm$

substitute

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{y}$

$y=32(3)/2=48\ cm$

therefore

The perimeter of trapezoid EFGH is 48 centimeters

A triangle is placed in a semicircle with a radius of 7mm , as shown below. Find the area of the shaded region. Use the value 3.

timurjin [86]

We either need to see a picture of this and/or get more information about the measurements of the triangle. In general, the area outside of the triangle will be the area of the semi-circle minus the area of the triangle itself, or: 1/2*49*3.14 - 1/2 b*h of the triangle. That first part, which is the area of the semi-circle, works out to 76.93 So based on the info we have, it becomes 76.93 - 1/2*b*h of the triangle = area outside of triangle.

Doss [256]

Answer:

The initial value corresponds to the y value when x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the graph is given, it is unnecessary to "finish the line." It is only necessary to read the value of y from the graph where x=0.

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and a

Naddik [55]

Answer:

X=-3/8 (x equals negative 3 over 8.)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you have twice a number and six. That is going to be 2x*6, and that then simplifies into 12x. Now, 11 times the number, would be 11x. The difference between 11x and 3/8 would be 11x-3/8.

So, You now have 12x=11x-3/8.

Combine like factors. So, 12x-11x=-3/8.

Now, you have x=-3/8.

Hope this Helps!! (:
