Answer:

The probability is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 nectarines in a total of 16 pieces of fruit in a basket, so the probability of random selected piece of fruit being a nectarine is the number of nectarines over the total number of pieces of fruit:

Probability = Number of nectarines / Total pieces = 2 / 16

To find the fraction in the simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by 2:

Probability = (2/2) / (16/2) = 1/8

A corporation has 11 manufacturing plants. Of these, seven are domestic and four are outside the United States. Each year a perf
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total plants = 11

Domestic plants = 7

Outside the US plants = 4

Suppose X is the number of plants outside the US which are selected for the performance evaluation. We need to compute the probability that at least 1 out of the 4 plants selected are outside the United States i.e. P(X≥1). To compute this, we will use the binomial distribution formula:

P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

where n = total no. of trials

           x = no. of successful trials

           p = probability of success

           q = probability of failure

Here we have n=4, p=4/11 and q=7/11

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X<1)

          = 1 - P(X=0)

          = 1 - ⁴C₀ * (4/11)⁰ * (7/11)⁴⁻⁰

          = 1 - 0.16399

P(X≥1) = 0.836

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

If you place a 10-foot ladder against the top of a 6-foot building, how many feet will the bottom of the ladder be from the bott
Anika [276]

Answer: 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a right triangle and label the sides using the given information. (Drawing below) Use pythagorean theorem to find the missing length:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(building)^2 + (missing piece)^2 = (ladder)^2

6^2 + x^2 = 10^2

36 + x^2 = 100. subtract 36

x^2 = 64. square root of both sides

x = 8

Find the measure of c. A. 40 B. 70 C. 90 D. 50
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

D. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 90° (angle subtended in semicircle)

a + c + 40° = 180° (by angle sum postulate of a triangle)

90° + c + 40° = 180°

c + 130° = 180°

c = 180° - 130°

c = 50°
