Length of the rectangle is 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Perimeter of the rectangle = 26 in and width = 8 in. Find the length.

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)

26 = 2(length + 8)

13 = length + 8

length = 13 - 8

Length = 5 in

Out of 450 applicants for a job, 206 are male and 62 are male and have a graduate degree.

Answer:

0.3009 is the probability that the applicant has graduate degree given he is a male.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given he following in the question:

M: Applicant is male.

G: Applicant have a graduate degree

Total number of applicants = 450

Number of male applicants = 206

$n(M) = 206$

Number of applicants that are male and have a graduate degree = 62

$n(M\cap G) = 62$

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

$P(M) = \dfrac{206}{450} = 0.4578$

$P(M\cap G) = \dfrac{n(M\cap G)}{n} = \dfrac{62}{450} = 0.1378$

We have to find the probability that the applicant has graduate degree given he is a male.

$P(G|M) = \dfrac{P(G\cap M)}{P(M)} = \dfrac{\frac{62}{450}}{\frac{206}{450}} = \dfrac{62}{206} = 0.3009$

Thus, 0.3009 is the probability that the applicant has graduate degree given he is a male.

Assume you have such a watch. if a minimum of 18.0% of the original tritium is needed to read the dial in dark places, for how m

Given that the half life of 3H is 12.3 years.

The amount of substance left of a radioactive substance with half life of $t_{ \frac{1}{2} }$ after t years is given by

$N(t)=N_0\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}} }$

Therefore, the number of years it will take for 18% of the original tritinum to remain is given by

$18 \% = 100 \% \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{ \frac{t}{12.3}} =0.18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln0.18 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{12.3}= \frac{\ln0.18}{\ln\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)} = \frac{-1.715}{-0.6931} =2.474\\ \\ \Rightarrow t=2.474(12.3)=30.4$

Therefore, the number of <span>years that the time could be read at night is 30.4 years.</span>

A map has a scale of 1 cm to 16 km.

ra1l [238]

1cm = 16km

1cm • x = 23.1cm
x = 23.1

16km • 23.1 = 369.6km

The real distance is 369.6km.
