Answer: the probability that exactly two of the next five people who apply to that university get accepted is 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

We would number of people that applies for admission at the university and gets accepted. The formula is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - p) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 0.6

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.6

q = 0.4

n = 5

the probability that exactly two of the next five people who apply to that university get accepted is

P(x = 2) = 5C2 × 0.6^2 × 0.4^(5 - 2)

P(x = 2) = 10 × 0.36 × 0.064

P(x = 2) = 0.23

In parallelogram LMNO,NO=10.2 and LO=14.7 what is the perimeter of parallelogram LMNO?
Shtirlitz [24]
In parallelogram LMNO, NO = 10.2, and LO = 14.7. The basic property of a parallelogram that the opposite sides in a parallelogram are equal; so, two sides are 10.2 (NO=LM=10.2), and two sizes are 14.7, = (LO=MN=14.7).
The perimeter of the parallelogram LMNO is:
P= 2NO + 2LO.
P= (2 x 10.2)+(2 x 14.7).
P= 20.4 + 29.4.

So, P= 49.8.

ALL MY QUESTIONS GETTING IGNORED PLS HELP
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

a scale drawing means all the sides are multiplied by the same amount. to find this amount, you can divide the larger side by the bigger side by the smaller side.

15/5 = 3

12/4 = 3

therefore the scale factor is 3. to get the value of x, multiply the value of the third side by 3.

3*3=9

x=9
