Dividing by 2, we have S/2=lw+lh+wh. After that, we subtract lh from both sides to get S/2-lh=lw+wh. Next, we divide both sides by w to get (S/2)/w=l+h. Next, we divide by S/2 to get 1/w=(l+h)/(S/2). Lastly, we multiply by w and divide by (l+h)/(S/2) to get w=(S/2)/(l+h)

If a procedure meets all of the conditions of a binomial distribution except the number of trials is not fixed, then the geomet

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0428

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:

$P(X=k) =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\k\end{array}\right] p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}$ where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.

However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:

$P(X=x) = p(1-p)^{x-1}\\$

The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)

Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:

p = 0.05

x = 4

Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:

$P(X=4) = 0.05(1-0.05)^{4-1}\\P(X=4) = 0.05 (0.95)^{3}\\P(X=4) = 0.05(.8573)\\P(X=4) = 0.0428$

Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean Theorem

17^2=8^2+h^2

h^2=17^2-8^2

h^2=289-64

h^2=225

h=15 meters
