What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use what is called geometric mean to solve this.

The hypotenuse of this triangle is split into two sections. One section corresponds to/equal to the altitude which is our "X", which corresponds to/equal to the second section.

You find "X" by using geometric mean and the proportion:

16/X=X/9

Then cross multiply to get 16 x 9= 144

then 144=x²

Solve for X.

X=12

In a batch of 440 water purifiers, 8 were found to be defective. What is the probability that a water purifier chosen at random
LiRa [457]

Answer:

1.8% or 1.818181%

Step-by-step explanation:

If in a batch of 440 water purifiers, we find 8 to be defective.

Then the probability of the next purifier being defective is 8/440

In percentage = 8/440 * 100

=> 8/44 * 10

=> 8/22 * 5

=> 40/22

=> 20 / 11

20/11 is roughly 1.8181818

Rounding it to the nearest tenth, we get 1.8%

If my answer helped, kindly mark me as the brainliest!!

Thank You!!

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. T
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability distribution is a listing of all the outcomes of an experiment and the probability associated with each outcome. Probability distribution is associated with the following characteristics or properties;

1. The outcomes are mutually exclusive.

2. The list of outcomes is exhaustive, which simply means that the sum of all probabilities of the outcomes must equal one (1).

3. The probability for a particular value or outcome must be between 0 and 1.

Since a probability distribution gives the likelihood of an outcome or event, a single random variable is divided into two main categories, namely;

I. Probability density functions for continuous variables.

II. Discrete probability distributions for discrete variables.

For example, when a coin is tossed, you can only have a head or tail (H or T).

Also, when you throw a die, the only possible outcome is 1/6 and the total probability for it all must equal to one (1).
