The probability is 0.0008.

I used a binomial probability on this one, since there are two outcomes (either pass or fail); the events are independent (the probability of one person passing does not influence the probability of another passing); and there are a fixed number of trials (in this case, 20).

For binomial probabilities, we use the formula:
_nC_k=p^k*(1-p)^{n-k}

With our information, we have:

x=2a−b±b2−4ac

Once in standard form, identify a, b and c from the original equation and plug them into the quadratic formula.

NEED HELP..... Select the polynomial that is a perfect square trinomial. 36x^2 − 4x + 16 16x^2 − 8x + 36 25x^2 + 9x + 4 4x^2 + 2
Iteru [2.4K]
<h3>Answer: Choice D.  4x^2 + 20x + 25</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Perfect square trinomials are in the form (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

So the first and last terms must be perfect squares. The middle term is twice that of the square roots of each first and last term.

Choice D fits the description because 4x^2 = (2x)^2 is the first term, so a = 2x and 25 = 5^2 is the last term meaning b = 5. Note how 2ab = 2*2x*5 = 20x is the middle term.

-------------

(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2

(2x+5)^2 = (2x)^2+2*2x*5+5^2

(2x+5)^2 = 4x^2 + 20x + 25

Can someone help me and not be a troll.... I’ll reward points + brainalist
babymother [125]

Answer:

The answer is 69.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First u wanna find the area of the rectangle and since it already gives you the the height and width you want to multiply them together 13×4= 52

meanwhile triangle is 5ft tall and the base is 7ft

using the formula to solve for area of a triangle you would multiply height and base and divide by 2

you should end up with 17.5 then u add that to 52 and get 69.5 ♡ Hope this helps.
