Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you are going to find a Pythagorean Triple. As you can see from the picture you have provided, 17 ft is the longest side. So, I squared 17 and got 289. I did this because I am using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Then, I squared 8 and got 64. Then, still following the Pythagorean Theorem, I subtracted 64 from 289. I got 225. Then, I found the square root of 225. I got 15. So, x=15.

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: I used the pythagorean theorem. X is a, 8 is b, and 17 is c. The squares of a and b added together are c. So I got 15.

A packet of garden seeds contains 250 seeds. The information printed on the packet indicates that the germination rate for this
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Expectation=240

standard deviation=3.098

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability function with n=250 and probability of success is 96%

-The expected value is calculated as:

E(X)=np\\\\=250\times 0.96\\\\=240

Hence, the expected germination is 240 seeds

b. From a above, we have the value of p=0.96 and n=250.

The standard deviation of germination is therefore calculated using the formula:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}, \ \ \ \\\\=\sqrt{250\times 0.96(1-0.96)}\\\\\\=3.098

Hence, the standard deviation of germination is 3.098
