Answer:

b. 24 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since we have a right triangle we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:, to find the missing side.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (10 yd) and a and b are the other sides.

Replacing with the values given:

10^2 = 6^2 + b^2

100 = 36+b^2

100-36 = b^2

64 = b^2

√64 = b

b= 8

Now, we can calculate the area:

A =1/2x base x height = 1/2 x 8 x 6 = 24 yd

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

The Australian sheep dog is a breed renowned for its intelligence and work ethic. It is estimated that 45% of adult Australian s

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Probability of more than 9 adult Australian sheep dogs out of 12 weighing 65 lb or more

P(X > 9) = 0.00788

Step-by-step explanation:

The only assumption required for the question is that all 12 adult dogs sampled must all be Australian sheep dogs.

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = number of adult dogs to be sampled = 12

x = Number of successes required = number of dogs that weigh 65 lb or more

= more than 9; >9

p = probability of success = probability of a dog weighing 65 lb or more = 0.45

q = probability of failure = probability of a dog NOT weighing 65 lb or more = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55

P(X > 9) = P(X=10) + P(X=11) + P(X=12)

Solving each of these probabilities, using the binomial distribution formula

P(X = x) = ¹²Cₓ (0.45)ˣ (0.55)¹²⁻ˣ with x = 10, 11 and 12

P(X > 9) = P(X=10) + P(X=11) + P(X=12)

= 0.00679820806 + 0.00101130368 + 0.00006895252

= 0.00787846427

= 0.00788 to 3 s.f

Hope this Helps!!!

Occasionally an airline will lose a bag. Suppose a small airline has found it can reasonably model the number of bags lost each

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108

b) The probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227

c) I would recommend taking a Poisson model with mean 4.4 instead of a Poisson model with mean 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability mass function of X, for which we denote the amount of bags lost next monday is given by this formula

$P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^k }{k!}$

$P(X=0) = \frac{e^{-2.2} * {2.2}^0 }{0!} = 0.1108$

The probability that the airline will lose no bags next monday is 0.1108.

b) Note that $P(X \in \{0,1,2\} = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)$ . And

$P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) = e^{-2.2} * (1 + 2.2 + 2.2^2/2) = 0.6227$

Therefore, the probability that the airline will lose 0,1, or 2 bags next Monday is 0.6227.

c) If the double of flights are taken, then you at least should expect to loose a similar proportion in bags, because you will have more chances for a bag to be lost. WIth this in mind, we can correctly think that the average amount of bags that will be lost each day will double. Thus, i would double the mean of the Poisson model, in other words, i would take a Poisson model with mean 4.4, instead of 2.2.

Which side lengths form a right triangle?

Masja [62]

Answer: choice B

Explanation: Go through each answer choice and try the Pythagorean theorem to see if it works. This is because a right triangle’s side lengths are described by the Pythagorean theorem. one side^2 + second side^2 = longest side^2. In a right triangle, this equation will be true. Let me show you what I mean

For answer choice A:

(root 2)^2 + (root 3)^2 = (root 4)^2

2 + 3 = 4

5 = 4

5 does not equal 4. Therefore it cannot be A.

For answer choice B:

(root 8)^2 + (3)^2 = (root 17)^2

8 + 9 = 17

17 = 17

this is true! therefore this is a right triangle and it’s B
