<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Probability that the surgery is successful for exactly 6 patients is 0.088.</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<em>The total number of patients is 10 and the probability of success is 0.8.</em>

We have to determine the probability of success of the surgery of exactly 6 patients.

<em>6 patients can be selected from 10 patients in nC_r  ways.</em>

<em>nC_r=10C_6= \frac {10!}{6!(10-6)!}</em>

<em>= \frac{10!}{(6! \times 4!)}</em>

<em>= \frac {3628800}{(720 \times 24)}</em>

<em>=210</em>

Let us consider a combination SSSSSSFFFF where S denotes success and F denotes failure. The probability of this combination is given by

<em>0.8^6 \times 0.2^4  since the chance of success is 0.8 and chance of failure is 0.2.</em>

There are 210 such different combinations possible and the probability of every combination is the same. So we have to sum up all the probabilities to determine the final probability.

<em>Therefore the probability that surgery is successful for 6 patients is 0.8^6 \times 0.2^4 \times 210=0.088</em>

Y is inversy proportional to x. When y=7 , x=9 A) work out an equation connecting y and x? B) work out the value of y when x=21
natita [175]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

since y is inversely proportional to x the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of proportionality

to find k use the given condition when y = 7, x = 9

k = yx = 7 × 9 = 63

y = \frac{63}{x} ← is the equation connecting them

when x = 21, then

y = \frac{63}{21} = 3

HELP! ASAP!<br> What is the measure of ∠A?<br><br><br> What is the measure of ∠B?
olganol [36]
The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Therefore
m∠A = m∠C, so that
5y - 3 = 3y + 27
Subtract 3y from each side.
5y - 3y - 3 = 3y - 3y + 27
2y - 3 = 27
Add 3 to each side.
2y - 3 + 3 = 27 + 3
2y = 30
y = 30/2 = 15

Therefore
m∠A = 5*15 - 3 = 72°
m∠C = 72°

Let x = m∠B
Then x = , m∠B = m∠C
Because the sum of the angles in the parallelogram is 360°, therefore
x + x + 72 + 72 = 360
2x = 360-144 = 216
x = 216/2 = 108

Answer:
m∠A = 72°
m∠B = 108°
