Answer:

99.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have here is a binomial distribution, let x be the baby number among 8 births.

Binomial (n = 8, p = 0.559)

We want to find, P (X ≥ 1)

P (X ≥ 1)    = 1 - P (X <1)

P (X ≥ 1)  = 1 - P (X = 0)

P (X = 0)   = 8C0 * (0.559) ^ 0 * (1 - 0.559) ^ (8-0)]

8C0 = 8! / (0! * (8-0)!) = 1

replacing we have:

P (X = 0)   = 1 * 1 * 0.0014

P (X = 0)  = 0.0014

P (X ≥ 1))  = 1 - 0.001 4

P (X ≥ 1) = 0.9986

Therefore the probability is 99.86%

If VUW is equiangular, find k and t.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

C. k=68, t=52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u, v, y represent the measures of the unmarked angles at the respective vertices. The angles of the equiangular triangle are all 180°/3 = 60°, so we have the relations ...

  • y=v
  • y+v+k = 180
  • v+64+60 = 180
  • u=64
  • u+64+t = 180

From these relations, we know that

... v = 180 -124 = 56 . . . . . 3rd equation above

... 56 +56 +k = 180 . . . . . . 2nd equation above, with y=v=56

... k = 180 -112 = 68 . . . . . above with 112 subtracted

... t = 180 -128 = 52 . . . . . 5th equation above with u=64 and 128 subtracted
