Answer: 0.0052

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of times experiment was performed (n)= 12

Probability of the event (that one key out of a total of 12 opens the door) = 1/12 = 0.083

Hence, p = 0.83

q = 1 - p = 11/12 = 0.917

x = 3

Since the experiment was performed n number of times, a binomial probability distribution can defined the experiment.

P(x=r) = nCr ×p^r × q^n-r

P(x=3) = 12C3 × (0.083)⁴ × (0.917)^8

P(x=3) = 220 × (0.083)⁴ × (0.917)^8

P(x=3) = 0.0052

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

36 fries

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael has a probability of 0.3.

Lidia has a probability of 0.1.

Alexandra has the probability of 0.32.

Catherine has the probability of 0.1.

Let the probability of Ronald be x

Sum of all the probabilities must be 1

So, 0.3+0.1+0.32+0.1+x=1

0.82+x=1

x=0.18

So, probability of Ronald is 0.18

We are given that here are 200 fries in the basket.

So, the number of fries that Ronald will eat = 0.18 \times 200 =36

Hence Ronald will eat 36 fries.

Which lines are perpendicular to the line y – 1 = (x+2)? Check all that apply.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

none of them

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are perpendicular when satisfy the next equation: m1*m2 = -1, where m1 and m2 are the slopes o the lines.

line 1:  

y – 1 = (x+2)

y = x + 3

slope of line 1 = 1

line 2:  

y + 2 = –3(x – 4)

y + 2 = -3*x + 12

y =  -3*x + 10

slope of line 2 = -3

m1*m2 = 1*(-3 ) = -3

They are not perpendicular

line 3:  

y − 5 = 3(x + 11)

y − 5 = 3*x + 33

y = 3*x + 38

slope of line 3 = 3

m1*m3 = 1*3 = 3

They are not perpendicular

line 4:  

y = -3x –  

slope of line 4 = -3

m1*m4 = 1*(-3 ) = -3

They are not perpendicular

line 5:  

y = x – 2

slope of line 5 = 1

m1*m5 = 1*1 = 1

They are not perpendicular

line 6:  

3x + y = 7

y = -3x + 7

slope of line 6 = -3

m1*m6 = 1*(-3 ) = -3

They are not perpendicular
