The number will be itself when multiplied by 1.

The sum of twice and half the original number is 1, so the number is
  2n +0.5n = 1
  2.5n = 1
  n = 1/2.5 = 0.4

The original number is 2/5.

What is the area of parallelogram ABCD?<br><br><br> ____ square units
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a method of finding the area of any polygon knowing its vertices. I'm using this parallelogram as an example.

Make a table like this (each vertex with its x- and y-coordinates):

Pt    x       y

A     3      6

B     6      5

C     5      1

D     2      2

A     3      6

Now multiply each x-coordinate by the y-coordinate on the line below and write it on the right side. Bold type shows the first multiplication.

       x       y

A     3      6

B     6      5      15

C     5      1        6

D     2      2      10

A     3      6      12

Now multiply each y-coordinate by the x-coordinate on the line below and subtract from each produce you already have. Do each subtraction. Bold type shows the first multiplication.

       x       y

A     3     6

B     6      5      15 - 36 = -21

C     5      1        6 - 25 = -19

D     2      2      10 - 2 =     8

A     3      6      12 - 6 =     6

Add all the differences.

       x       y

A     3      6

B     6      5      15 - 36 = -21

C     5      1        6 - 25 = -19

D     2      2      10 - 2 =     8

A     3      6      12 - 6 =     6

                                   +____

                                       -26

The area of the polygon is the absolute value of half of the sum of the differences.

area = |-26/2| = |-13| = 13

Suppose you are repeating a classic study of starfish and their impact on the ecosystems of tide pools. Using historic data coll
Travka [436]

Answer:

The probability of the number of starfish dropping below 3 is 0.0463.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of starfish in the tide pool.

X follows a Poisson distribution with mean 6.4.

The formula for Poisson distribution is as follows.

P(X=x) = e^{-6.4} * [6.4^{x} / x!] when x = 0, 1, ...

P(X = x) = 0 otherwise

We need to find the probability that the number of starfish in the tide pool drops below 3.

Therefore, the required probability is:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X=2)

P(X < 3) = e^{-6.4} + (e^{-6.4}*6.4) + (e^{-6.4}*6.4^{2}/2)

P(X < 3) = 0.00166 + 0.01063 + 0.03403

P (X < 3) = 0.0463
