Given P Q and

N76 [4]

$VWX\cong KLJ$ means that the triangles are congruent, that is exactly identical.

The order of letters is very important. Form the given congruence we can write the following ratio:

$\frac{VW}{KL} = \frac{WX}{LJ} = \frac{VX}{KJ} =1$

(notice that we do not mix the order: the first 2 letters of VWX are compared to the first 2 letters of KLJ and so on)

the ratio is one because the corresponding sides are equal.

$\frac{VW}{KL}=1\\\\ \frac{2z-1}{z+2}=1\\\\2z-1=z+2\\\\2z-z=2+1\\\\z=3$

$|VW|=2z-1=2.3-1=6-1=5$

HEEEEELLLPPPP!!! I really need this to be answered im soo confused!!

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ AFD = ∠ AFC + ∠ CFD

Given ∠ CFA = 90° and

∠ CFD = 90° - ∠ EFD, that is

∠ CFD = 90° - 62° = 28°, thus

∠ AFD = 90° + 28° = 118° → C

Rabies is a viral disease of mammals transmitted through the bite of a rabid animal. The virus infects the central nervous syste

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c) The probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

R = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

F = reported case of rabies is a fox

B = reported case of rabies is a bat

O = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = x.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, $\sum P(X)=1$

Compute the value of x as follows:

$\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30$

Thus, the value of x is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

$P(A^{c})=1-P(A)$

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

$P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

$P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

if you roll a fair 6-sided die 9 times, what is the probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4?

Kay [80]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.

For each die, there are only two possible outcomes, either a 3 or a 4 is rolled, or it is not. The result of a roll is independent of any other roll, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
