Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume a binomial distribution for the handedness of the population. Let x be a random variable representing the type of handedness in the population. The probability of success, p is that a randomly chosen person is left handed only. Then probability of failure is that a chosen person is not left handed only(right handed only or both).

p = 12/100 = 0.12

number of success, x = 20

n = 200

the probability that there are at least 20 left-handers is expressed as P(x ≥ 20)

From the binomial probability calculator,

P(x ≥ 20) = 0.84

Figure T is similar to figure W which answer is closest to the length of side XY
beks73 [17]
As they are similar triangles, one is simply going to be bigger than the other, meaning that if triangle T’s side QS is = 9 and triangle W’s corresponding side ZX is =6.5. When dividing 9 by 6.5, it is obvious that triangle W is 0.72 smaller than triangle T. All you then have to do to calculate length of side XY is times side QR on triangle T -cause it’s the corresponding side of these two triangles- by 0.72, and you’ll have your answer of XY= 8.125 :)
