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:

Solve the system by substitution or elimination
OleMash [197]
X - y = 5,
x = 5 + y
substitute (x = 5 + y) into the first equation,
5 + y + 2y = -1
3y = -6
y = -2,
substitute y = -2 into (x - y = 5),
x + 2 = 5
x = 3

Hence, x = 3, y = -2

Can someone help me w this question? rq?
victus00 [196]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can off-the-bat eliminate choices A and B, because the first part of the quadratic formula is a -b. Therefore, the value for b in the quadratic has to be a positive, because the value in the formula is negative. This leaves us with choices C and D. If you look at the discriminant, you will see that our <em>a </em>in the quadratic formula is 3, so your answer choice is C.

The ratio of the side lengths triangle is 7:24:29 and it’s perimeter is 180 m. What are the side lengths of the triangle? Select
kakasveta [241]
Answer: Only 21:72:87


Explanation: We know that the side lengths are not simply 7, 24, and 29, as the sum of these is only 60.


Therefore, we need to find the scale factor they were multiplied by to have side lengths with a sum of 180.

We can use 7x+24x+29x=180.

This becomes 60x=180 and the scale factor is x=3.

7*3=21, 24*3=72, and 29*3=87.
