Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write ratios to help us solve

4x 12 +3

---------- = ------------

3x+1 12

Using cross products

4x*12 = (3x+1) * (15)

48x = 45x +15

Subtract 45x from each side

3x =15

Divide by 3

3x/3 =15/3

x=5

Answer:

P(X>4)= 0.624

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

n = 10

p= 0.5 ,q= 1 - p = 0.5

Two fifth of 10 = 2/5 x 10 =4

It means that we have to find probability P(X>4).

P(X>4)= 1 -P(X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)-P(X=3)-P(X=4)

We know that

$P(X=x)=(_{x}^{n})\ p^xq^{n-x}$

$P(X=0)=(_{0}^{10})\ 0.5^0\ 0.5^{10}=0.0009$

$P(X=1)=(_{1}^{10})\ 0.5^1\ 0.5^{9}=0.0097$

$P(X=2)=(_{2}^{10})\ 0.5^2\ 0.5^{8}=0.043$

$P(X=3)=(_{3}^{10})\ 0.5^3\ 0.5^{7}=0.117$

$P(X=4)=(_{4}^{10})\ 0.5^3\ 0.5^{7}=0.205$

P(X>4)= 1 -P(X=0)-P(X=1)-P(X=2)-P(X=3)-P(X=4)

P(X>4)= 1 -0.0009 - 0.0097 - 0.043 - 0.117-0.205

P(X>4)= 0.624

Step-by-step answer:

This is a regular heptagon, means it has 7 congruent sides and 7 congruent vertex angles.

To work with polygons, there is a very important piece of information that you must know to solve the majority of related problems.

This is:

sum of exterior angles of polygons = 360 degrees.

If you don't remember the 360 degrees, think of the sum of exterior angles of an equilateral triangle, which is 3*(180-60)=3*120=360! It works!

For a regular heptagon, c = 360/7=51.43 degrees approx.

This means that each vertex angle measures

vertex angle = 180-c

So since 2d+the vertex angle = 360, we have

2d+(180-c)=360

solve for d:

2d=360-(180-c)=180+c

d=(180+c)/2=90+c/2=115.71 degrees. (approx.)
