Pythagoran theorem

length of ladder=hyptonuse
height of window is one leg
distance base is fram building is other leg
a²+b²=c²
c=hyp
a and b are legs

18²+b²=20²
324+b²=400
b²=76
b=2√19ft or aprox8.7178ft

If a coin is flipped 10 times, what is the probability that it will show all heads or all tails? A 1/2 B 1/512 C 1/1022 D 1/1024
Ksju [112]

The probability of multiple events happening is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event together. This is the case if each event is independent of the other events.

For a fair coin, the probability of tails is 1/ 2 or 0.5, so the probability of all tails in 10 tosess is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024 = 0.0009765625

netineya [11]

Answer:

For a pair of randomly selected in- and out-of-state students, the sum of their tuition typically varies from the mean of $6,348.75 by about $1,508.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\mu S = \$6,348.75

\sigma S = \$1,508

Required

Interpret the standard deviations

In statistic, standard deviation is a measure of how the given data lies away (or varies) from the mean.

This implies that:

For the in-state students, the standard deviation measures how the sum of their tuition varies from 6348.75

For the out-state students, the standard deviation measures how the sum of their tuition varies from 1508

Jan is x years old, her sister is twice as old as her, and her brother is three times older than her. Their ages add up to 29. H
victus00 [196]

Jan's age = 4\frac{5}{6} years

Sister's age =9\frac{2}{3} \: years

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan's age = x years

Sister's age = 2x years

Brother's age = 3x years

According to the given condition:

x + 2x + 3x = 29

6x = 29

x = 29/6

x = 4\frac{5}{6} years

2x = 2\times \frac{29}{6}= \frac{29}{3}=9\frac{2}{3} \: years

Therefore,

Jan's age = 4\frac{5}{6} years

Sister's age =9\frac{2}{3} \: years
