Answer:

a) 0.3826

b) 0.9894

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat students accepted at university as a success.

P(students accepted at university) = 70% = 0.70

Then the number of students accepted at university follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

a) P( 8 or more will be accepted)

P(x \geq 8) = P(x = 8) + P(x = 9) + P(X=10)\\\\= \binom{10}{8}(0.7)^8(1-0.7)^2 +  \binom{10}{9}(0.7)^9(1-0.7)^1+ \binom{10}{10}(0.7)^{10}(1-0.7)^0\\\\= 0.2334 + 0.1210 + 0.0282\\= 0.3826

b) P(4 or more will be accepted)

P(x \geq 4) =1 - P(x = 0) - P(x = 1) - P(X=2)-P(x=3)\\\\=1 - ( \binom{10}{0}(0.7)^0(1-0.7)^{10} +  \binom{10}{1}(0.7)^1(1-0.7)^9+ \binom{10}{2}(0.7)^{2}(1-0.7)^8+ \binom{10}{3}(0.7)^{3}(1-0.7)^7 )\\\\= 1 - 0.0106\\= 0.9894

I need help, this is geometry
Artemon [7]

Answer:

∠P = 39º

∠Q=120º

∠R = 21º

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠P+m∠Q+m∠R=180º (sum of ∠s in a triangle)

2x-3+6x-6+x=180º (substitution)

9x-9=180º (algebra)

9x=189º (algebra)

x=21º (algebra) (this is ∠R)

(2x-3)=39º (algebra) (this is ∠P)

6x-6=120º (algebra) (this is ∠Q)

A building engineer analyzes a concrete column with a circular cross section. The circumference of the column is 18π meters.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A=81\pi\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the radius of the circular cross section

we know that

The circumference is equal to

C=2\pi r

we have

C=18\pi\ m

substitute and solve for r

18\pi=2\pi r

simplify

18=2 r

r=9\ m

Step 2

Find the area of the circular cross section

The area of the circle is equal to

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=9\ m

substitute

A=\pi (9)^{2}

A=81\pi\ m^{2}

A river discharges 4 × 106 cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second. There are 86,400 seconds in one day. To find
erik [133]

Answer:

3.456E + 14= 3.456X10^{14

Step-by-step explanation:

The river discharges 4X10^6 cubic feet of water into the Pacific Ocean each second.

There are 86,400 seconds in one day.

Amount of water discharges each day

=4X10^6X86400\\=345600000000\\=3.456X10^{11

Since this differs from what you have, I will explain the scientific notation.

3.456E + 14 simply means 3.456X10^{14

The options are not well laid out but you can pick the appropriate option.
