Answer:0.9966

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability that flash light does not  work is P_o=0.15

If owner has 3 three flashlights then

Probability that atleast one of them works =1-P(\text{none of them works})

Probability that flashlight will work =1-P_o=1-0.15

=0.85

Required Probability=1-0.15\times 0.15\times 0.15

=1-0.003375

=0.9966

Now, Probability that second works given that first works is given by

P=P(\text{First works})\times P(\text{Second works})

P=0.85\times 0.85

P=0.7225

Line I is a perpendicular bisector
kolezko [41]

Line I is a perpendicular bisector because it bisects another line at right angles via the point of intersection or midpoint. See the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem below.

<h3>What is the perpendicular bisector theorem?</h3>

According to the theorem of perpendicular bisector, any locus on the perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the terminal points of the line segment on which it is created.

Thus, Line I is a perpendicular bisector because it bisects another line at right angles via the point of intersection or midpoint. See the attached image.

a dance club spent $922 on 40 items.The item include some hats and pairs of shoes.Each hat cost $19 and each pair of shoes cost
Sergio039 [100]

1. H+S=40

2. 19H+25S=922

From 1,

19H+19S=760

Subtract this from 2 to eliminate H,

19H+25S-19H-19S=922-760

6S=162

Solve for S, then use either equation to solve for H.
