Answer:

0.015

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

In this case, n = 16, r = 2, and p = 0.4.

P = ₁₆C₂ (0.4)² (0.6)¹⁴

P ≈ 0.015

The probability is approximately 0.015, or 1.5%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 153 and QRP are straight angles, and thus Angle QRP is

180 - 153, or 27 degrees.

The interior angles of the triangle must sum up to 180 degrees:

27 + (3y + 5) + (2y - 7) = 180.

combining like terms, we get:

5y - 25 = 180, or 5y = 155, or y = 31

Then Angle Q is 3(31) + 5, or 93

Angle P is 2(31) - 7, or 55, and

Angle QRP is 27 degrees (found earlier).

Two consecutive positive integers have a product of 6. what are the integers
sergejj [24]

Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

A tree casts a shadow 24 feet long. a 5 foot person casts a 8 foot shadow.How tall is the tree?
ra1l [238]
(length of tree's shadow)/(height of tree) = (length of person's shadow)/(person's height)

24/x = 8/5

24*5 = x*8

120 = 8x

8x = 120

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

The tree is 15 feet tall
