Answer:

0.117649

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the prospectors will not find a productive oil.

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 6 oil wells available to be dug

x = Number of successes required = 0

p = probability of success = 0.3

q = probability of failure = 1 - p = 0.7

P(X = 0) = ⁶C₀ 0.3⁰ 0.7⁶⁻⁰ = (1)(1)(0.7⁶) = 0.117649

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know: 
</span>\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}.
From the above equation we get x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20.
then \frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}
Solving the above equation for y we get: y=160
So x=400
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
