Answer:

16.5 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

piece one = 1u

piece two, which is 5 times= 5u

total length = 6u = 99

1u= 99÷6= 16.5 inch

A study conducted at a certain high school shows that 72% of its graduates enroll at a college. Find the probability that among

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

The equation of line fis - 3y + 4x = 9 write the equation of a line that is parallel to line and passes through the point (- 12,

ollegr [7]

Answer:

$y = - 4x - 42$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that is parallel to the line we are trying to find is

$- 3y + 4x = 9 \\ or \\ - 3y = - 4x + 9 \:(standard form) \\ \\therefore \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line \\ \: is \: - 4$

We can recall that when two lines are parallel it means that they have the same slope. Therefore the slope of the line we are trying to find is also -4. We now know that:

$y = 6 \: \: \: x = - 12 \: \: \: slope = - 4$

Therefore the equation of the line is:

$y = mx + c \\ 6= ( - 4)( - 12) + c \\ 6 = 48 + c \\ 6 - 48 = c \\ - 42 = c$

$y = mx + c \\ y = - 4x - 42$
