Answer:

strawberry=7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

treat strawberry as x

add on proportions

1 1/8+ 3/4+ 1 3/4 + x = 4 1/2

(9+6+14)/8 + x = 9/2

29/8 +x = 9/2

x= 9/2 - 29/8

x= (36-29)/8

x=7/8

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-3) and has an undefined slope?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with "undefined" slope is a vertical line, whose equation is of the form ...

x = constant

In order for the line to go through a point with an x-coordinate of 8, the constant must be 8.

x = 8 . . . . . a vertical line through (8, -3)

Answer:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176$

$P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072$

$P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013$

And adding we got:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=10, p=0.65)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

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

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)$

And we can find the individual probabilities like this:

$P(X=8)=(10C8)(0.65)^0 (1-0.65)^{10-8}=0.176$

$P(X=9)=(10C9)(0.65)^1 (1-0.65)^{10-9}=0.072$

$P(X=10)=(10C10)(0.65)^2 (1-0.65)^{10-10}=0.013$

And adding we got:

$P(X \geq 8)= P(X=8) +P(X=9) +P(X=10)= 0.176+0.072+0.013=0.262$

Will give brainliest to first correct answer! find missing length

Rudiy27

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

They are similar triangles so they have proportionality

For the small triangle the side is 2 and the hypoteneuse is 4, for the large triangle the side is 5 so the entire hypoteneuse is 10. 10-4 = 6 which is the missing side
