The concept useful in finding the answer to this item is ratio and proportion, the ratio of the height of your friend with the shadow casted should be proportional to the height of the rock with the length of the shadow it cast. That is,
5.5 ft / 18 ft = x ft/ 209.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 64 ft.
Answer:
x = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
t = 
15 = k/68
k=1020
~~~~~~~~~~~
17 = 1020/x
x = 1020/17
x = 60
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the probability of a customer arrival at a grocery service counter in any one second is equal to 0.3
Assume that customers arrive in a random stream, so an arrival in any one second is independent of all others.
i.e. X the no of customers arriving is binomial with p = 0.3 and q = 1-0.3 =0.7
a) the probability that the first arrival will occur during the third one-second interval.
= Prob that customer did not arrive in first 2 seconds * prob customer arrive in 3rd sec
= 
b) the probability that the first arrival will not occur until at least the third one-second interval.
Prob that customer did not arrive in first two seconds *(Prob customer arrives in 3rd or 4th or 5th.....)
=
The term inside bracket is a geometric infinite progression with common ratio - 0.7 <1
Hence the series converges
Prob =
