Answer:

0.2915

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent water and D represent Dying probability

W = water

D = die

 

->If with water, it will die with probability 0.4

P(W & D) = 0.82 x 0.4 = 0.328

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75

P(W ' & D) = 0.18 x 0.75 = 0.135

Taking sum of the above values with water and without water.

P(D) = P(W & D) +  P(W ' & D) = 0.4643

P(W ' | D) = P(W ' & D) / P(D)

= 0.135 /0.463

= 0.2915 ≈ 29.15%

Thus, the probability the neighbor forgot to water is 0.2915

If the largest angle of a triangle is 120° and it is included between sides of 1.5 and 0.5, then (to the nearest tenth) the larg
12345 [234]

Answer:

1.8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions which involve calculating the angles and the sides of a triangle either require the sine rule or the cosine rule. In this question, the two sides that are given are adjacent to each other and the given angle is the included angle. This means that the angle is formed by the intersection of the two lines. Therefore, cosine rule will be used to calculate the length of the largest side of the triangle. The cosine rule is:

b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c*cos(B).

The question specifies that a=0.5, B=120°, and c=1.5. Plugging in the values:

b^2 = 0.5^2 + 1.5^2 - 2(0.5)(1.5)*cos(120°).

Simplifying gives:

b^2 = 3.25.

Taking square root on the both sides gives b = 1.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth).

This means that the length of the third side is 1.8 units!!!

suppose Richard walks one kilometer every 10 minutes how many meters are there can you walk in an hour at this new rate
Ipatiy [6.2K]
One kilometer is 1000 meters.  One hour is 60 minutes, or six segments of 10 minutes each.  If you can walk 1000 meters in 10 minutes, you can walk 6000 in an hour (that is REALLY fast, by the way)
