Answer:

A) 2

B) 0.239

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Expected value of a binomial distribution is the number of trials times the probability of success.

X = np

Given X = 1 and p = 0.65:

1 = 0.65n

n = 1.54

Rounding up, a salesperson should expect 2 customers until he finds a customer that makes a purchase.

Part B) Use binomial probability.

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

Given n = 3, r = 1, p = 0.65, q = 0.35.

P = ₃C₁ 0.65¹ 0.35³⁻¹

P ≈ 0.239

Or, using binompdf function in a calculator:

binompdf(n, p, r)

= binompdf(3, 0.65, 1)

≈ 0.239

Which of these properties is enough to prove that a given parallelogram is also a Rectangle?
lozanna [386]

we are supposed to find

Which of these properties is enough to prove that a given parallelogram is also a Rectangle?

As we know from the theorem, if the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent then the parallelogram is a rectangle.

The other options The diagonals bisect each other is not sufficient because in parallelogram diagonals always gets bisected , parallelogram becomes rectangles only if both the diagonals are of same length.

In a parallelogram The opposite angles and opposite sides are always equal.

Hence the correct option is

The diagonals are congruent.

Help me with this question please anybody
ehidna [41]

Answer:

  x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The work shown is almost complete. It can be finished by multiplying both sides of the equation by the inverse of the coefficient of x.

  x-coefficient: -1/3

  inverse of x-coefficient = 1/(-1/3) = -3

Then you have ...

  -3\left(-\dfrac{19}{3}\right)=-3\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}x\right)\\\\19=x\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\\boxed{x=19}

How do you do number 11?
Stells [14]
\frac{a - c}{x - a} = m   Multiply both sides by (x - a)
a - c = m (x - a)   Use the Distributive Property
a - c = mx - ma  Add ma to both sides
a - c + ma = mx   Divide both sides by m
\frac{a - c + ma}{m} = x   Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = <span>\frac{a - c + ma}{m}</span>
