Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ RAS and Δ TES are similar triangles, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is, noting that SR = 21 - ST, thus

$\frac{ST}{SR}$ = $\frac{TE}{AR}$ substitute values

$\frac{ST}{21-ST}$ = $\frac{8}{6}$ ( cross- multiply )

6ST = 8(21 - ST)

6ST = 168 - 8ST ( add 8ST to both sides )

14ST = 168 ( divide both sides by 14 )

ST = 12

In a region there is a 0.95 probability chance that a randomly selected person of the population has brown eyes. Assume 15 peopl

Mekhanik [1.2K]

We are given the data of 0.95 probability chance that a randomly selected person with brown eyes.
we use the formula: nCm* p^m q^ (n-m)
a) 15C15* 0.95^15* 0.05^ (0) = 0.463
b) 15C14* 0.95^14* 0.05^ (1) = 0.366
c) 15C13* 0.95^13* 0.05^ (2) = 0.135
0.135+0.366+0.463= 0.964
