Answer: 8.3 in.
Steps:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 18.2^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 331.24 = 400
a^2 = 400 - 331.24
a^2 = 68.76
a = 8.29
a = 8.3
Answer:
-15/2 (or -7 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
-7.5 is equal to -75/10.
When you simplify it, you get:
-15/2 which simplifies to -7 1/2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Right Triangle</u>
The figure shows a right triangle with angles 2 and 3 unknown.
The sum of the internal angles of all triangles is 180°, since one of them is 90°, then the sum of the rest of the angles is 90°. It means that:

The measures of both angles are expressed as functions of x. Substituting their values:
x+8 + 2x + 7 = 90
Simplifying:
3x + 15 = 90
Operating:
3x = 90 - 15 = 75
Solving:
x = 75 / 3 = 25
x = 25°
Now, the measure of angle 2=x+8 = 33°

Answer: a) P(x=0) = 0.0907, b) P(x≥10) = 0.7986
Step-by-step explanation: the probability mass function of a possion probability distribution is given as
P(x=r) = (e^-λ)×(λ^r) /r!
Where λ = fixed rate at which the event is occurring and each event is independent of each other = 2.4
a) P(x= at least one) = P(x≥1)
P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x<1)
But P(x<1) = P(x=0) { we can not continue to negative values because our values of x can only take positive values of integer}
Hence, P(x≥1) = 1 - P(x=0)
P(x=0) = e^-2.4 * 2.4^0/(0!)
P(x=0) = 0.0907×1/1
P(x=0) = 0.0907
b) if the average number of hits in 1 minutes is 2.4 then for 5 minutes we have 2.4×5 = 12.
Hence λ = 12.
P(x= at least 10) =P(x≥10) = 1 - P(x≤9)
P(x≤9) will be gotten using a cumulative possion probability distribution table whose area is to the left of the distribution.
From the table P(x≤9) = 0.2014.
P(x≥10) = 1 - 0.20140
P(x≥10) = 0.7986
