Answer:

The correct option is 3. The length of XC is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle ABC and triangle XYC are similar.

According to the properties of similar triangles, then corresponding sides of similar triangles are congruent.

In triangle ABC and triangle XYC,

$\frac{AB}{XY}=\frac{BC}{YC}=\frac{AC}{XC}$

Let the length of XC be x.

From the below figure it is notices that

$AC=AX+XC=18+x$

$BC=BY+YC=6+10=16$

$\frac{16}{10}=\frac{18+x}{x}$

$16x=180+10x$

$6x=180$

$x=30$

Therefore correct option is 3. The length of XC is 30.

Paula has a dog that weighs 3 times as much as Carla's dog

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The weight of Paula's dog is 36 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

SO we would draw one box for the weight of Carla's dog. Then we would draw 3 boxes for the weight of Paula's dog.

To find how much does Paula's dog weigh we divide the total weight of the dogs by the total number of boxes.

So then you would calculate 48 divided by 4.

The weight of Carla's dog is 12 pounds.

Therefore the weight of Paula's dog is 3x12=3x10+3x2=30+6=36 pounds.

Parallel lines x and w are cut by transversals z and y and form 4 angles at each intersection. Where line x intersects with line

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

$m\angle 1 =105^\circ\\m\angle 2 =75^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is drawn and attached below.

From the diagram

$m\angle 2 =75^\circ $ (Alternate Angles)$

$m\angle 1+ m\angle 2 =180^\circ $ (Sum of angles on a straight line)\\m\angle 1+75^\circ =180^\circ\\m\angle 1 =180^\circ-75^\circ\\m\angle 1 =105^\circ$

A survey on British Social Attitudes asked respondents if they had ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons (Statesman, January

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) 41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) 41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

23% of the respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons.

This means that $p = 0.23$

a) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 6. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.2789$

27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Either less than two have, or at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.2084$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.3735$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2084 + 0.3735 = 0.5819$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5819 = 0.4181$

41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Now n = 10.

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.23)^{6}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.0109$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 + 0.0109 = 0.4116$

41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the expected number of people that have boycotted goods for ethical reasons? Also find the standard deviation.

$E(X) = np = 10*0.23 = 2.3$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.23*0.77} = 1.33$

The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.
