Answer:D. 36 m

Step-by-step explanation: Use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to find the missing side. C is the hypotenuse. Plug in the numbers.

15^2 + b^2 = 39^2

Simplify.

225 + b^2 = 1521

Subtract 225 from each side.

b^2 = 1296

Square root each side to isolate b.

b = 36

The height of the support beam is 36 m.

In a certain college, 33% of the math majors belong to ethnic minorities. If 7 students are selected at random from the math maj

Digiron [165]

Answer: a) 0.996, b) 0.253, c) 0.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of success = Probability of the math majors belong to ethnic minorities = 33% = 0.33 =p

Probability of failure = q = 1-0.33 = 0.67

Number of students selected = 7

a) No more than 5 belong to an ethnic minority

So, using "binomial distribution", we get that

$P(X\leq 5)=\sum^5 _{x=0} ^5C_x(0.33)^x(0.67)^{5-x}=0.996$

b. Exactly three of them belong to an ethnic minority

So, it becomes,

$P(X=3)=^7C_3(0.33)^3(0.67)^4=0.253$

c. None of them belong to an ethnic minority

$P(X=0)=^7C_0(0.33)^0(0.67)^7=0.02$

Hence, a) 0.996, b) 0.253, c) 0.02.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$Area=24x^2-34x-45$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of the yard are $(6x+5)$ and $(4x-9)$ .

$Area=length\times width\\\\Area=(6x+5)\times (4x-9)\\\\Area=24x^2+20x-54x-45\\\\Area=24x^2-34x-45$
