Given:

First side(A): 2B - 7

Second side(B): B

Third side(C): B + 4

Plug in values:

A + B + C = 80

2B - 7 + B + B + 4 = 80

If you look at the coefficients only, you can rewrite the equation like this:

2B + B + B - 7 + 4 = 80

This means that 4B - 7 + 4 = 80

=4B - 3 = 80

= 4B = 80 + 3

B = 83/4, so you can either write B as 83/4 or as 20.75.

Checking your work:

A: 2(20.75) - 7 = 34.5

B: 20.75

C: 4 + 20.75 = 24.75

34.5 + 20.75 + 24.75 = 80cm.

Hope this helped.

On a lunch counter, there are 3 oranges, 5 apples, and 2 bananas. If 3 pieces of fruit are selected, find the probability that 1
muminat

Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{24}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Oranges = 3

Apples = 5

Banana = 2

Total = 10

Required

Determine the probability of 1 orange, 1 apple and 1 banana

Since, order is not important:

Probability = P(Orange) * P(Apple) * P(Banana)

Probability = \frac{3}{10} * \frac{5}{9} * \frac{2}{8}

<em>The difference in the numerator is as a result of picking the fruit without replacement</em>

Probability = \frac{30}{720}

Probability = \frac{1}{24}

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Probability that fewer than 2 of these parts are defective is 0.604.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that at a certain auto parts manufacturer, the Quality Control division has determined that one of the machines produces defective parts 19% of the time.

A random sample of 7 parts produced by this machine is chosen.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 7 parts

            r = number of success = fewer than 2

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of defective

                 parts produced by one of the machine, i.e; 19%

<em>LET X = Number of parts that are defective</em>

<u>So, it means X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.19)</u>

Now, probability that fewer than 2 of these parts are defective is given by = P(X < 2)

    P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

                  =  \binom{7}{0}\times 0.19^{0} \times (1-0.19)^{7-0}+ \binom{7}{1}\times 0.19^{1} \times (1-0.19)^{7-1}

                  =  1 \times 1 \times 0.81^{7} +7 \times 01.9^{1} \times 0.81^{6}

                  =  <u>0.604</u>

<em>Therefore, the probability that fewer than 2 of these parts are defective is 0.604.</em>

What would (4,3) be after it is reflected to the y=x
Paul [167]

Answer:

(3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of steps applied from the reflection line to the point would be also applied inversely to the image point (after reflection).

From y=x to (4,3), it goes 1 down and also goes 1 right. (NOTE: It does not go down and right. Instead, it goes <em>either</em> down and right)

So now inverse that to make 1 up and also going 1 left.
