This is a case of binomial distribution. The formula used in calculations for binomial probability is:

P = nCr p^r (1-p)^(n-r) 

Where,

P = probability

nCr = combinations of r from n possibilities

p = success rate = 40% = 0.40

n = sample size = 10

 

<span>1st: Let us calculate for nCr for r = 8 to 10. Formula is:</span>

nCr = n! / r! (n-r)! 

10C8 = 10! / 8! 2! = 45

10C9 = 10! / 9! 1! = 10

10C10 = 10! / 10! 0! = 1

 

Calculating for probabilities when r = 8 to 10:

P (r=8) = 45 * 0.4^8 (0.6)^2 = 0.0106

P (r=9) = 10 * 0.4^9 (0.6)^1 = 0.0016

P (r=10) = 1 * 0.4^10 (0.6)^0 = 0.0001

 

Total probability that at least 8 were married = 0.0106 + 0.0016 + 0.0001

Total probability that at least 8 were married = 0.0123

You are constructing triangle ABC given the line segments AB and AC and ∠A. The first thing you do is copy segment AC. Next, you
kondaur [170]

Answer:

  C)  Copy AB

Step-by-step explanation:

The general idea is that you copy one segment, then the angle (so you know which direction the other segment goes), then the second segment. Finally, you connect the ends of the segments to complete the triangle.

The given description says you've done the first two parts of this, so you must mark off the length of segment AB in the direction you just constructed. That is, you must ...

  Copy AB.

_____

In the attached figure, the construction did segment AB first, and is about to do segment AC next. The idea is the same. Swap points B and C in your mind to match the description in the problem statement.

3.3 find the length of the side indicated. And round to 1 decimal place
patriot [66]

Answer:

31.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle. Let us name the unnamed side y. y will also equal 22. We also know that this is a right triangle so using the pythagorean theorem we can calculate x. x = √(22^2+22^2) so x = 31.1.
