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%.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

8+pi/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle on the bottom is 8, or 2*4. The area of the top is half (because it's a semi circle) of pi*r^2, or just 1/2 pi

A bicyclist travels at a constant speed of 18 mi/h. How long does it take the bicyclist to travel 90 mi
Stells [14]
If the bicyclists is traveling 18 miles every hour and needs to travel a sum of 90 miles, you need to divide 90/18 equaling the total time (in hours) needed to travel 90 miles. Hope this helps

If f(x)= 4-2x and g(x)=6x which expression is equivalent to (g-f)(3)
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(g-f)(3) = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

g(3)=6 * (3) = 18

f(3)= 4-2(3) = 4 - 6 = -2

So

(g-f)(3) = 18 - (-2) = 20

Find the value of x and y to the nearest tenth
Readme [11.4K]
The value of 'x' is 24.2 and the value of 'y' is 46.5.

To solve this, we do the following steps.
<u>Step 1:</u> Divide 'y' into 2 parts, 'a' and 'b'. 'a' would be the lower leg of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 'b' is the lower leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle.<em>
</em><u>Step 2:</u> Given the hypotenuse (34) of the 30°-60°-90° triangle, solve for 'b' using the cosine of 30°.
    cos30° = b/34 [adjacent over hypotenuse]
    b = 34cos30° [cross-multiply]
    b = 29.4
<u>Step 3:</u> Solve for the 90° leg (the side opposite the 30° angle) using the Pythagorean Theorem. We will name this leg "h" (cuz height).
     l² + l² = hyp²
     29.4² + h² = 34²
     h² = 1156 - 864.36
     √h² = √291.64
     h = 17.1
<u>Step 4:</u> Solve for 'x' by using the 45°-45°-90° triangle ratio (1:1:√2). √2 would be the hypotenuse of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 1 would be both congruent legs.     
  Side 'h' is one of the legs; side 'a' is the other. Since these legs are congruent, 'a' also measures 17.1. Now all we need to do is solve for 'x', which is our hypotenuse. To do this, we simply multiply the measure of side 'h' or 'a' by √2.
     x = 17.1 × √2
     x = 24.2
<u>Step 5:</u> Now that we got the value of 'x', solve for 'y' by adding the measures of sides 'a' and 'b' together.<em>
</em><u />     y = a + b
     y = 17.1 + 29.4
     y = 46.5

And there you have it! <em>Hope this helps.</em>
