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

What is the name of an interior angle of a triangle that is not adjacent to a given exterior of the triangle
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Definition of an exterior angle

At each vertex of a triangle, an exterior angle of the triangle may be formed by extending ONE SIDE of the triangle. See picture below.

Calculating the Angles

We can use equations to represent the measures of the angles described above. One equation might tell us the sum of the angles of the triangle. For example,

x + y + z = 180

Proving Vertical Angles Are Congruent
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Statements:                                                 Reasons:

1) ∠2 and ∠4 are vertical angles               given

2) limes <em>m </em>and <em>n </em>intersect at <em>P                    </em>definition of vertical angles

3) ∠3 and ∠4 are linear pair                       definition of linear pair

4) ∠2 and ∠3 are linear pair                       definition of linear pair

5) m∠3 + m∠4 =180                                     angle addition postulate

6) m∠2 + m∠3 =180                                     angle addition postulate

7) m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠3 + m∠4                   substitution property

8) m∠2 = m∠4                                             subtraction property

9) ∠2 ≅ ∠4                                                 definition of congruent(≅) angles
