If his ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Luis has probability \dfrac{1}{3} 3 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If his ship has been hit, dread pirate Luis will always miss.

Answer:

We can see that this is dependent probability. We can find dependent probability of happening event A then event B by multiplying probability of event A by probability of event B given that event A already happened.

Step-by-step explanation:

In our case event A is pirate hitting captain's ship and event B is captain missing pirate's ship. We have been given that pirate shoots first so pirate's ship can't be hit before pirate shoots his cannons. So probability of hitting captain's ship is 1/3. We have been given that if Captain Ben's ship is already hit then Captain Ben will always miss. So the probability of Captain missing the dread pirate's ship given the pirate Luis hitting the Captain ship is 1. Now to find probability that pirate hits Captain, but Captain misses we will multiply our both probabilities.

Answer:

c = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cars\ Sold:-: 8; 9; 12; c

Required

What value of c makes the mean = 10

Mean is calculated as

Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}

In this case;

Mean = 10 and n = 4;

So, we have:

10 = \frac{8+ 9 + 12 + c}{4}

10 = \frac{29+ c}{4}

Multiply both sides by 4

10 * 4 = 29 + c

40 = 29 + c

Solve for c

c = 40 - 29

c = 11

The correct answer is 120 degrees.

With the bigger triangle you can add all of the angles to get 60 degrees. (35+25)

This leaves you with a 120 degrees angle in the unmarked corner of the triangle. Any horizontal line and any triangle is 180 in total.

So with a 120 degree angle in the corner this leaves us with a 60 angle in the smaller triangle. ( The smaller triangle equals 60 degrees in all corners, it is equalateral ).

X is on a horizontal line and we now know that the one side of the line equals 60 degrees and any horizontal line equals 180 in total, this means that the measure of X is 120, (60+120)

X is 120 :)
