Step-by-step explanation:

We can prove this by using similar triangles. We know that angle ABE and ACD are SIMILAR(we know that by the sign in between them).Therefore, we also know that CDA and BEA are similar, and EAB and DAC are similar. Since all the angles are similar, we also know that the side lengths are equal in proportion. AB/AE is equal to AC/AD. When assigned values, that would create a proportion that is equal since the smaller triangle is similar to the bigger one. If you want to create a proof, break each statement into its own section.

a business shows a profit of $110 for selling 20 leather wallets how much profit would the business make if they sold 35 wallets

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

They would get 192.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find how much it cost per 1 so you will need to dovide 110 by 20 which equal 5.5

Then you will multiply 5.5*35 and get 192.5

Heyy pls help! worth 20 points, and please only help if you know the answer. also no links those r kinda annoying lol

Step 1: Find the slope:

$m= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \dfrac{-2-7}{4-(-2)} = \dfrac{-9}{6}= -\dfrac{3}{2}$

This gives you $y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b$ , but we need to find b.

To find b, substitute in one (x,y) pair and it doesn't matter which one. I'll go with (4,-2):

$\begin{aligned}-2&=-\dfrac{3}{2}(4)+b\\[0.5em]-2&=-6+b\\[0.5em]4&=b\end{aligned}$

Now take that b-value and plug in into the slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+4$

It's always a good idea to toss in the other x-value from the other point, to make sure it checks out.

In a string of 12 Christmas tree light bulbs, 3 are defective. The bulbs are selected at random and tested, one at a time, until

Juliette [100K]

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0273 = 2.73% probability that the third defective bulb is the fifth bulb tested.

In this problem, the bulbs are chosen without replacement, hence the <em>hypergeometric distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem:

There are 12 bulbs, hence N = 12.

3 are defective, hence k = 3.

The third defective bulb is the fifth bulb if:

Two of the first 4 bulbs are defective, which is P(X = 2) when n = 4.

The fifth is defective, with probability of 1/8, as of the eight remaining bulbs, one will be defective.

Hence:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 2) = h(2,12,4,3) = \frac{C_{3,2}C_{9,1}}{C_{12,4}} = 0.2182$

0.2182 x 1/8 = 0.0273.

0.0273 = 2.73% probability that the third defective bulb is the fifth bulb tested.
