Answer:

a. 0.6899

b. 0.1642

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given the probability of success is 0.94 for an expert and that the number of pairs, n=6:

-Each attempt is independent and therefore the probability of  the events is calculated as:

P(A \ and \B )=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\P(6)=0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\times0.94\\\\=0.6899

Hence, the probability of correctly identifying the 6 matches is 0.6899

b.Given the probability of success is 0.74 for a novice and that the number of pairs, n=6:

-Each attempt is independent and therefore the probability of  the events is calculated as:

P(A \ and \B )=P(A)\times P(B)\\\\P(6)=0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\times0.74\\\\=0.1642

#Hence, the probability of correctly identifying the 6 matches is 0.1642

*I have used the sample size of 6(due to conflicting info/question size).

A 14-foot ladder is leaning against a building as shown. It touches a point 11 feet up on a building. How far away from the base
Luden [163]
We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.

11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares

121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides

B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75

B = 5 root3
