94=y/4-18
first you would +18 on each side with a result of 112=y/4 then you would x4 on each side with an end result of 448=y
y=448
First, you put the triangles in a ratio
Then, you ask yourself "what do I have to divide seven by to get 5" so you do 7.5/5 to get that answer (which is to divided by 1.5)
Then, on the other side, you divide 22.5 by 1.5 as well
Answer:
15.8 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
63.2 / 4 = 15.8
The correct answer choice is D.
Answer:
66.76% probability that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each year, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a levee fails during the year, or no levees fail. In each year, the probabilities of levees failing are independent from each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:
A levee was designed to protect against floods with an annual exceedance probability of 0.02. This means that 
What is the risk that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years?
This is
when
. So


66.76% probability that the levee will NEVER fail in the next 20 years.
