Answer:

A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides and a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. So a parallelograms are also trapezoids.

write an expression to represent the area of a pool whose length is 5x + 1 unit and the width is 10 units

STALIN [3.7K]

Area=length x width. Thus you would do 10 x (5x+1). You have to multiply both 5x and 1 by 10 to correctly distribute. So the final equation would be area=50x+10.

Answer:

0.289792.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we define a month with one or more accident as "success"; and

A month with no accident as "failure" .

P(one or more accidents will occur during any given month)=0.60.
P(no accident will occur during any given month)=1-0.60=0.40

We want to calculate the probability that there will be at least four months in which no accidents occur before the fourth month in which at least one accident occurs.

in this case, let k=number of failures before the fourth success

Therefore, $k\geq 4$

k follows a negative binomial distribution.

Therefore, the probability is:

$P(k\geq 4)=1-P(k\leq 3)\\=1-\sum_{k=0}^{3}\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3+k\\k\end{array}\right)(0.60)^4(0.40)^k\\=1-(0.60)^4 \left[\left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\0\end{array}\right)(0.40)^0+\left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)(0.40)^1+\left(\begin{array}{ccc}5\\2\end{array}\right)(0.40)^2+\left(\begin{array}{ccc}6\\3\end{array}\right)(0.40)^3\right]\\=1-(0.60)^4 \left[ 1+1.6+1.6+1.28\right]\\=1-(0.60)^4[5.48]\\=0.289792$
