Answer:

First option: 27 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where h is the height, B the larger base and b the smaller base.

Observe the figure of the trapezoid called ABCD. The length of the larger base (AB) is 12 units and the lenght of the smaller base (CD) is 6 units, but the height h is unknown, so you need to find it.

You can observe in the figure that two equal right triangles are formed, whose opposite side is the height "h". If you calculate the opposite side of one of those triangles, you will  obtain the height of the trapezoid.

For this, you can use the identity tan\alpha=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}.

Identify the opposite side, the adjacent side and the angle \alpha:

opposite=h\\adjacent=\frac{12units-6units}{2}=3units\\\alpha=45\°

Substitute and solve for the height h:

tan(45\°)=\frac{h}{3}\\(3)(tan(45\°)=h\\3units=h

Finally substitute into A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b):

A=\frac{3units}{2}(12units+6units)=27units^2

how much material was used in the manufacture of 24000 celluloid dice,if each dice has an edge 1/4 inches?
Dovator [93]
<span>The volume of each celluloid die is (.25 x .25 x .25) = 0.015625 cubic inch.

To manufacture 24,000 of them, you need to start with <u>at least</u>

(24,000) x (0.015625) = <u>375 cubic inches</u>.

I don't know how celluloid is sold, so you should also keep in mind that
375 cubic inches = about 207.8 fluid ounces, or about 6.5 quarts.

I'm sure a bit more than that was used in the manufacture, since
there's always some wasted, spilled, or trimmed off of the edges. </span>

Answer:

(a) 0.873 (b) 0.007 (c) 0.715 (d) 0.277 (e) 1.25 and 1.09

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the random variable X takes the value x is given by P(X=x) = 25Cx 0.05^x0.95^{25-x}. Then,

(a) P(X\leq) = (25C0)(0.05^0)(0.95^{25}) + (25C1)(0.05^1)(0.95^{24}) + (25C2)(0.05^2)(0.95^{23})=  0.873

(b) P(X\geq5) = 1-P(X\leq4) = 1 - (0.873 + (25C3)(0.05^3)(0.95^{22}) + (25C4)(0.05^4)(0.95^{21})) = 1 - (0.873 + 0.12) = 0.007

(c) P(1\leqX\leq4) = (25C1)(0.05^1)(0.95^{24}) + (25C2)(0.05^2)(0.95^{23}) + (25C3)(0.05^3)(0.95^{22}) + (25C4)(0.05^4)(0.95^{21}) = 0.715

(d) P(X=0) = (25C0)(0.05^0)(0.95^{25}) = 0.277  

(e) E(X) = np = (25)(0.05) = 1.25 and Sd(X) = \sqrt{Var(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = 1.09
