To find the length of the altitude, we have to use the ratios of the similar sides.
Let the length of altitude=x
Ratio of sides:
\frac{x}{3} = \frac{27}{x}  \\
Cross \ multiply \\
 x^{2} =81 \\
Take \ square \ root.\\
 \sqrt{x^2}= \sqrt{81} \\
x=9 \\
So length of altitude is 9 cm.

Answer: 9 cm

​34% of working mothers do not have enough money to cover their health insurance deductibles. You randomly select six working mo
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says 6 working mother's were selected so <u>n = 6</u><u> </u><u>not</u><u> </u><u>0</u><u>.</u><u>6</u>

We are expected to find

P(X = 0,1,2,3,4,4,6)

1. <u>When x = 0</u>

6C0*(0.34)⁰*(0.66)⁶

= 1 *1* 0.827

= 0.0827

<u>2. When X = 1</u>

6C1*(0.34)¹*(0.66)⁵

= 6 x 0.34 x 0.252

= 0.2555

<u>3. When X = 2</u>

6C2*(0.34)²*(0.66)⁴

= 15 x 0.1156 x 0.1897

= 0.3289

<u>4. When x = 3</u>

6C3*(0.34)³*(0.66)³

20 x 0.039304 x 0.2875

= 0.2599

<u>5. When X = 4</u>

6C4*(0.34)⁴*(0.66)²

= 15 x 0.01336 x 0.4356

= 0.8729

<u>6. When x = 5</u>

6C5*(0.34)⁵*(0.66)¹

= 6 x 0.0045 x 0.66

= 0.01782

<u>7. When x = 6</u>

6C6*(0.34)⁶*(0.66)⁰

1 x 0.0015 x 1

= 0.0015
