59.9 = 23.2 + 17.1 + 2*leg = Perimeter

2 * leg = 19.6

each leg = 9.8 meters

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

That expression is called the "Quadratic formula" and basically the solution to any second degree equation can be find by using the quadratic formula.

Attached you can find the procedure to get to the quadratic formula from the general equation of a second degree polynomial.

How many subsets of five elements each can be made from a set of seven elements?

Alina [70]

<span>When creating a subset of 5 elements from 7 elements, order should not matter. Therefore, we use the combination formula over the permutation formula. The combination formula given n elements total and r elements used is n! / [r!*(n-r)!]. Substituting 7 for n and 5 for r, we get: 7! / (5!*2!) = 7*6 / 2 = 21 21 subsets can be created</span>

Find the probability that event A will appear at least three times in four independent tests if the probability of occurrence of

polet [3.4K]

This kind of problems are solved using Bernoulli's distribution. Everytime you have a win/lose scenario, and you know the probability $p$ of winning, and you want $k$ successes over $n$ trials, you have the following probability:

$\displaystyle P(k\text{ successes over }n\text{ trials}) = \binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

You want the probability of having at least three successes, i.e. you are interested in the cases k=3 and k=4. The corresponding probabilities are

$\displaystyle P(3 \text{ successes}) = \binom{4}{3}0.6^3 \cdot 0.4 = 4\cdot 0.216 \cdot 0.4 = 0.3456$

$\displaystyle P(4 \text{ successes}) = \binom{4}{4}0.6^4 = 0.1296$

So, the total probability is $0.3456+0.1296 = 0.4752$
