Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that D is the point where AB is split, so AD = x-6 and DB = x.

And let's say that E is the point where AC is split, so AE = x+6 and EC = x+20.

Triangle ADE is similar to triangle ABC.  Therefore:

(x-6) / (x-6 + x) = (x+6) / (x+6 + x+20)

Solving:

(x-6) / (2x-6) = (x+6) / (2x+26)

(x-6) (2x+26) = (x+6) (2x-6)

2x² + 26x - 12x - 156 = 2x² - 6x + 12x - 36

2x² + 14x - 156 = 2x² + 6x - 36

14x - 156 = 6x - 36

8x = 120

x = 15

So the length of AC is:

AC = x+6 + x+20

AC = 2x + 26

AC = 2(15) + 26

AC = 56

Find the indicated probability. round to three decimal places. a test consists of 10
Charra [1.4K]

To answer this problem, we use the binomial distribution formula for probability:

P (x) = [n! / (n-x)! x!] p^x q^(n-x)

Where,

n = the total number of test questions = 10

<span>x = the total number of test questions to pass =   >6</span>

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

Given the formula, let us calculate for the probabilities that the student will get at least 6 correct questions by guessing.

P (6) = [10! / (4)! 6!] (0.5)^6 0.5^(4) = 0.205078

P (7) = [10! / (3)! 7!] (0.5)^7 0.5^(3) = 0.117188

P (8) = [10! / (2)! 8!] (0.5)^8 0.5^(2) = 0.043945

P (9) = [10! / (1)! 9!] (0.5)^9 0.5^(1) = 0.009766

P (10) = [10! / (0)! 10!] (0.5)^10 0.5^(0) = 0.000977

Total Probability = 0.376953 = 0.38 = 38%

<span>There is a 38% chance the student will pass.</span>
