Solve For x.<br> 5/6 = 15/x

Am I correct? If not what did I do wrong

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

You are not correct. Here's an explanation as to why: First of all, the triangle is isosceles, since it has two congruent sides that leads to the conclusion of two congruent angles, one opposite each side. This means that all three angle measurements of the triangle are x degrees, x degrees, and 40 degrees. To solve for x, add all three values together and set them equal to 180 degrees, the sum of three angles in any triangle. Your mistake is adding only one x to 40, which isn't inclusive of all three triangles. I hope this helped!

Are your finances, buying habits, medical records, and phone calls really private? A real concern for many adults is that comput

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a)There is a 4.88% probability that none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

b)There is a 7.89% probability that all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

c)There is a 37.23% probability that exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes (commonly called a binomial experiment).

It is given by the following formula:

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of a success.

In this problem, a success is being concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

53% of adults are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls, so $p = 0.53$

(a) Out of four adults, none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so $n = 4$ .

Is the probability of 0 successes, so x = 0.

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

$P = C_{4,0}.(0.53)^{0}.(0.47)^{4}$

$P = 0.0488$

There is a 4.88% probability that none is concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

(b) Out of four adults, all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so $n = 4$ .

Is the probability of 4 successes, so x = 4.

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

$P = C_{4,0}.(0.53)^{4}.(0.47)^{0}$

$P = 0.0789$

There is a 7.89% probability that all are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

(c) Out of four adults, exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

Four adults, so $n = 4$ .

Is the probability of 4 successes, so x = 2.

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

$P = C_{4,2}.(0.53)^{2}.(0.47)^{2}$

$P = 0.3723$

There is a 37.23% probability that exactly two are concerned that employers are monitoring phone calls.

A contractor purchases 4 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for $56.16. She incorrectly calculates the unit price as $14.04 per

8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct unit price is $1.17 per pair of gloves. The error is she used number of dozens so, firstly convert it to number of pairs of gloves then divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given 4 dozen pairs of gloves for $56.16.

So, unit price = Divide the price by number of pairs of gloves.

And 1 dozen =12

So 4 dozen =4*12=48 pairs of gloves

So, to find unit rate divide 56.16 by 48.

Unit price = $\frac{56.16}{48}= $1.17$

So, the error is she didn't convert the dozen to units.

That made mistake in finding unit price.
