Answer:

Option B. 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in the question that a wedge has a width of 2 cm and a slope of 5.5 cm.We have to calculate the mechanical advantage of the given wedge.

We know the formula to calculate the mechanical advantage of the wedge

Mechanical advantage = Length of slope/Thickness of the widest end

= 5.5÷2 = 2.75

Therefore the answer is option B. 2.75

If two polynomial equations have real solutions, then will the equation that is the result of adding, subtracting, or multiplyin

kirill115 [55]

No. A polynomial equation in one variablel ooks like P(x) = Q(x), where P and Q are polynomials.

Consider polynomial equations x^2 = 3 and x^2 = 1.

Obviously they have real solutions.

Subtract the two polynomial equations:

(x^2 - x^2) = (3 - 1)

0 = 2...

We get the polynomial equation 0 = 2. We call this a polynomial equation because single constants are also by definition polynomials.

Obviously 0 = 2 has no real solution.

What will be the next in the series 2,60,10,120,30,?

grandymaker [24]

2 to 60 is 58 -48 is 10
so you have think what sort of maths skills are used like it could n+58 -48 then square or something ,but check what the differences are between the numbers.
hope it helped.

1. A report from the Secretary of Health and Human Services stated that 70% of single-vehicle traffic fatalities that occur at n

Nuetrik [128]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7215 = 72.15% probability that between 10 and 15, inclusive, accidents involved drivers who were intoxicated.

For each fatality, there are only two possible outcomes, either it involved an intoxicated driver, or it did not. The probability of a fatality involving an intoxicated driver is independent of any other fatality, which means that the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.
n is the number of trials.
p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

70% of fatalities involve an intoxicated driver, hence $p = 0.7$ .

A sample of 15 fatalities is taken, hence $n = 15$ .

The probability is:

$P(10 \leq X \leq 15) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15)$

Hence

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{15,10}.(0.7)^{10}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.2061$

$P(X = 11) = C_{15,11}.(0.7)^{11}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.2186$

$P(X = 12) = C_{15,12}.(0.7)^{12}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.1700$

$P(X = 13) = C_{15,13}.(0.7)^{13}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.0916$

$P(X = 14) = C_{15,14}.(0.7)^{14}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.0305$

$P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.7)^{15}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.0047$

Then:

$P(10 \leq X \leq 15) = P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) = 0.2061 + 0.2186 + 0.1700 + 0.0916 + 0.0305 + 0.0047 = 0.7215$

0.7215 = 72.15% probability that between 10 and 15, inclusive, accidents involved drivers who were intoxicated.
