Answer:

16.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

If at least 7 are female, that means either 7 or 8 are female.

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).

Here, n = 8, p = 0.65, and r = 7 or 8.

P = ₈C₇ (0.65)⁷ (0.35)⁸⁻⁷ + ₈C₈ (0.65)⁸ (0.35)⁸⁻⁸

P = (8) (0.65)⁷ (0.35)¹ + (1) (0.65)⁸ (0.35)⁰

P = 8 (0.65)⁷ (0.35) + (0.65)⁸

P = 0.169

If JKLM is a rhombus, MK = 30, NL = 13, and mZMKL = 41°, find each measure.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

$NK = 15$

$JL = 26$

$KL = 19.85$

$\angle JKM =49$

$\angle JML =41$

$\angle MLK = 90$

$\angle MNL =90$

$\angle KJL =41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$MK = 30$

$NL = 13$

$\angle MKL = 41$

Solving (a): NK

MK is a diagonal and NK is half of the diagonal. So:

$NK = \frac{1}{2} * MK$

$NK = \frac{1}{2} * 30$

$NK = 15$

Solving (b): JL

JL is a diagonal, and it is twice of NL.

$JL = 2 * NL$

$JL = 2 * 13$

$JL = 26$

Solving (c): KL

To solve for KL, we consider triangle KNL where:

$\angle KNL = 90$

and

$KL^2 = NL^2 + NK^2$

$KL^2 = 13^2 + 15^2$

$KL^2 = 394$

$KL = \sqrt{394$

$KL = 19.85$

Solving (d - h):

To do this, we consider triangle JKN

$\angle KNL = \angle LNM = \angle MNJ = \angle JNK = 90$ -- diagonals bisect one another at right angle

Alternate interior angles are equal. So:

$\angle MKL = \angle KMJ = \angle KJL = \angle JLM = 41$

Similarly:

$\angle MKJ = \angle KML = \angle MJL = \angle JLK = 90 - 41$

$\angle MKJ = \angle KML = \angle MJL = \angle JLK = 49$

So:

$\angle JKM =49$

$\angle JML =41$

$\angle MLK = \angle MLJ + \angle JLK$

$\angle MLK = 49 + 41$

$\angle MLK = 90$

$\angle MNL =90$

$\angle KJL =41$
