Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that the player will not win on Monday or Tuesday, but will win on Wednesday is the same as the probability of winning on the third trial.

This is an example of a geometric probability distribution because trials are repeated until the first success is gotten. Since chance of winning a prize on a given ticket is about 17%, it means that the probability of success, p = 17/100 = 0.17.

Let x represent the number of days before the person wins. The probability that it takes three days before the player wins is expressed as

P(x = 3)

By using the geometric distribution calculator,

P(x = 3) = 0.12

Answer: (i) 4x - 40 = 76

(ii) 29 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of questions be x.

Since he received 4 points for every correct answer and he got 10 answers wrong , this means he lost 40 points , the equation thus become

4x - 40 = 76

To find the value of x , add 40 to both sides

4x = 116

divide through by 4

x = 29

Therefore , there are 29  questions on his math test

How many inches are in 5 feet
nata0808 [166]


Since 1 foot equals to 12 inches, it can be written as 1/12. We just have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5. If we do this, then the answer will be 5/60. So, in five feet, there are 60 inches.

Hope it helps :)

Try this please, it's about arcs and angles and I'm just not sure how to do it. Thanks!
Nataly_w [17]
Check the picture below.

the segment LOJ is a diameter, and therefore the arcLCJ made by that diameter will have a central angle of 180°.

that simply means that the arcLC is 180 - 94, or 86°.

the ∡LJC is an inscribed angle that is intercepting the arcLC, and therefore, by the inscribed angle theorem, it'll be half of arcLC.
