Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro

bability that he will hit it. One day, Samir decides to attempt to hit 101010 such targets in a row.
Assuming that Samir is equally likely to hit each of the 101010 targets, what is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

0.95 probaiblity of hitting a target

This means that p = 0.95

10 targets

This means that n = 10

What is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Either he hits all the targets, or he misses at least one of them. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 10) + P(X < 10) = 1

We want P(X < 10). So

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.95)^{10}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.5987

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10) = 1 - 0.5987 = 0.401

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Replace ∗ with a monomial so that the derived expression may be represented as a square of a binomial: * +14b+49
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

  * = b²

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the square of a binomial is of the form ...

  (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²

Matching given terms, we have ...

  49 = y²

  2xy = 14b

Solving the first of these relations for y, we have

  y = √49 = 7

Putting that in the second relation and solving for x, we find ...

  2x·7 = 14b

  14x = 14b

  x = b

Then the first term of the expansion, x², will be b².

The missing term is b².

Item 16
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the dresser is in shape of a rectangular prism

Note that, a rectangular prism has a shape of a cuboid

So, area of the rectangular prism is same as area of a cuboid

A = (2LB + 2LH + 2BH)

Where

L is length

B is breadth

H is height

Then, given the dimension of the rectangular prism to be

2ft by 2ft by 6ft

Then, you can assume that,

Length L = 2ft

Breadth B = 2ft

Height H = 6ft.

NOTE: you can take you assumption anyhow, there is no standard, you will get the same answer.

Then,

A = (2LB + 2LH + 2BH)

A = (2×2×2 + 2×2×6 + 2×2×6)

A = (8 + 24 + 24)

A = 56 ft²

The total surface area of the dresser is 56ft²

there are 103 students eating lunch in the cafeteria. each table seats 4 students. all the tables are full except for 1 table. h
natta225 [31]
4*25= 100. There are 26 tables. At each of the 25 tables 4 people are sitting. Which means 100 people are sitting in complete tables of 4 people. That means that at the 26th table 3 people are sitting. 103-100= 3. Hope that helps. :)

Find the missing the side of the triangle A. 130−−−√ m B. 179−−−√ m C. 42–√ m D. 211−−−√ m
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is option A</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use the Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side

Using the Pythagoras theorem

That's

{a}^{2}  =  {b}^{2}  +  {c}^{2}

From the question

x is the hypotenuse or the longest side of the triangle

Substituting the values into the above formula we have

{x}^{2}  =  {9}^{2}  +  {7}^{2}

{x}^{2}  = 81 + 49

{x}^{2}  = 130

Find the square root of both sides

We have the final answer as

<h3>x = √130 m</h3>

Hope this helps you
