How many times smaller is the surface area of a cube if the side length is multiplied 1/2

Mathematics

Answer:

1/4, or 4 times smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the surface area of a cube is just the combination of the area of all of the square sides, and the formula for those is s^2, if the side length was decreased by 1/2 then the surface area would decrease by (1/2)^2=1/4. Hope this helps!

Find the probability of at least 6 failures in 7 trials of a binomial experiment in which the probability of success in any one

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

$P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)$

And we can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=6)=(7C6)(0.91)^6 (1-0.91)^{7-6}=0.358$

$P(X=7)=(7C7)(0.91)^7 (1-0.91)^{7-7}=0.517$

And replacing we got:

$P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)= 0.358+0.517=0.875$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=7, p=1-0.09=0.91)$

The probability associated to a failure would be p =1-0.09 = 0.91

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)$

And we can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=6)=(7C6)(0.91)^6 (1-0.91)^{7-6}=0.358$

$P(X=7)=(7C7)(0.91)^7 (1-0.91)^{7-7}=0.517$

And replacing we got:

$P(x \geq 6)=P(X=6)+P(X=7)= 0.358+0.517=0.875$

How can bees dying affect all four spheres of the Earth? (lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere)

labwork [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the atmosphere mixes down into the other spheres and releases precipitates; the hydrosphere overlaps onto land surfaces and water vapor rises up into the atmosphere; the biosphere reaches up into the atmosphere, down into soils and rock, and throughout the oceans, exchanging gases, water and nutrients

In the given diagram if AB || CD, ∠ABO = 118° , ∠BOD = 152° , then find the value of ∠ODC.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Through point O draw a ray on left side of O which is || to AB & CD and take any point P on it.

Therefore,

∠ABO + ∠BOP = 180° (by interior angle Postulate)

118° + ∠BOP = 180°

∠BOP = 180° - 118°

∠BOP = 62°.... (1)

Since, ∠BOP + ∠POD = ∠BOD

Therefore, 62° + ∠POD = 152°

∠POD = 152° - 62°

∠POD = 90°.....(2)

∠POD + ∠ODC = 180° (by interior angle Postulate)

90° + ∠ODC = 180°

∠ODC = 180° - 90°

$\huge\red {\boxed {m\angle ODC = 90°}}$
