Answer:

The probability is 28 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, there are only two possible outcomes in every trails ( residents are in their forties or not ),

So, this is a binomial distribution,

Binomial distribution formula,

Probability of success in x trials,

P(x)=^nC_x p^x q^{n-x}

Where, ^nC_x=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

p and q are probability of success and failure respectively and n is the total number of trials.

Let X be the event of resident who are in his or her forties.

Here, p = 12% = 0.12,

⇒ q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88,

n = 9,

Hence, the probability that two or three of the people in the group are in their forties = P(X=2) + P(X=3)

^9C_2 (0.12)^2 (0.88)^{9-2}+^9C_3 (0.12)^3 (0.88)^{9-3}

=36(0.12)^2 (0.88)^7+84(0.12)^3 (0.88)^6

=0.279266611163

\approx 0.28

=28\%

One leg of a right triangle has a length of 5m. The other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers. Find these lengths.
pickupchik [31]

The lengths of the other two sides of the right triangle are 12 and 13

<h3>Pythagorean theorem </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the lengths of the other sides of the triangle

From the given information,

The other sides have lengths that are consecutive integers

Thus,

If the length of the other side is x

Then,

The hypotenuse will be x + 1

By the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that

(x+1)² = x² + 5²

(x+1)(x+1) = x² + 25

x² + x + x + 1 = x² + 25

x² - x² + x + x = 25 - 1

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

∴ The other leg of the right triangle is 12

Hypotenuse = x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13

Hence, the lengths of the other two sides are 12 and 13

A cashier earns $7 an hour. If x is the number of hours worked, which function represents the cashier’s earnings?
kaheart [24]
The function of x is equal to 7 dollars times the number of hours the cashier works.  This function would look something like this:

F(x) = 7x

Hope this helps! :)

What is the value of b so that the equation x^2+bx+5=0 will have x intercepts (-5,0) and (-1,0)
storchak [24]
Plug one intercepts: (-1)^2+(-1)b+5=0
(-5)^2+(-5)b+5=0
simplify: 6-b=0
30-5b=0
solve for b: 6=b
30/5=b
