Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

PQ = QB and

AP = 2PQ

∴ a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

PQ = a/4

AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

= a/2 + a/4 + a/8

= 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

= a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

= 5a/8

First take the fractions and find their common denominator:
$\frac{1}{2}$ x 4 = $\frac{4}{8}$

Now you can add the fractions:
$\frac{4}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$

Now add your whole numbers and the fraction:
1+1= 2 >> 2+ $\frac{5}{8}$ = 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ yards

Now subract 2 $\frac{5}{8}$ from 5:
5-2 $\frac{5}{8}$ =2 $\frac{3}{8}$ yards

A public health organization reports that 40%of baby boys 6-8 months old in the United

Sveta_85 [38]

Using the binomial distribution, the probabilities are given as follows:

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

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

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

The values of the parameters for this problem are:

n = 10, p = 0.4.

The probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)$

In which:

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{10} = 0.0061$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{9} = 0.0403$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.4)^{2}.(0.6)^{8} = 0.1209$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.2150$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.4)^{4}.(0.6)^{6} = 0.2502$

Hence:

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 + 0.2150 + 0.2502 = 0.6325$

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.6325 = 0.3675$

0.3675 = 36.75% probability that more than 4 weigh more than 20 pounds.

The probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds is:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0061 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 = 0.1673

0.1673 = 16.73% probability that fewer than 3 weigh more than 20 pounds.

For more than 7, the probability is:

$P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.4)^{8}.(0.6)^{2} = 0.0106$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.4)^{9}.(0.6)^{1} = 0.0016$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.4)^{10}.(0.6)^{0} = 0.0001$

Since P(X > 7) < 0.05, it would be unusual if more than 7 of them weigh more than 20 pounds.

Just minus 5 feet from the new height which is 13ft, and the equation will be 13-5, and therefore the tree grew 8 feet

On Monday you sent x number of text messages. On Tuesday you sent twice as many. On Wednesday you sent 12 more texts than you se

kykrilka [37]

Answer: Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Tuesday = 2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Wednesday = 12+2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Thursday = x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of text messages sent on Monday = x

On Tuesday, Number of text messages sent = 2 (Number of messages sent on Monday)

= 2 x

On Wednesday, Number of text messages sent = 12+ (Number of messages sent on Tuesday)

= 12 +2x

On Thursday, Number of text messages sent = $\dfrac12(2x+12)$

= x+6

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Tuesday = 2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Wednesday = 12+2x

Expression represents the number of text messages you sent on Thursday = x+6
