The sale bin in a clothing store contains an assortment of t-shirts in different sizes. There are 7 small, 8 medium, and 4 large

shirts. Alan is looking for a large shirt. He starts grabbing shirts one at a time and checking the size. After he checks each shirt, he leaves it outside the bin. What is the probability that at least one of the first four shirts he checks is a large?

Answer:

P(at least 1 large) = 0.648

P(at least 1 large) = 64.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 7 small shirts, 8 medium shirts and 4 large shirts

Total number of shirts = 7 + 8 + 4 = 19 shirts

The probability that at least one of the first four shirts he checks is a large is given by

P(at least 1 large) = 1 - P(no large)

So first we need to find the probability that the none of the first four shirts he checks are large.

For the first check, there are 15 small and medium shirts and total 19 shirts so,

15/19

For the second check, there are 14 small and medium shirts and total 18 shirts left so,

14/18

For the third check, there are 13 small and medium shirts and total 17 shirts left so,

13/17

For the forth check, there are 12 small and medium shirts and total 16 shirts left so,

12/16

the probability of not finding the large shirt is,

P(no large) = 15/19*14/18*13/17*12/16

P(no large) = 0.352

Therefore, the probability of finding at least one large shirt is,

P(at least 1 large) = 1 - P(no large)

P(at least 1 large) = 1 - 0.352

P(at least 1 large) = 0.648

P(at least 1 large) = 64.8%

Find an equation of the plane orthogonal to the line
jolli1 [7]

The given line is orthogonal to the plane you want to find, so the tangent vector of this line can be used as the normal vector for the plane.

The tangent vector for the line is

d/d<em>t</em> (⟨0, 9, 6⟩ + ⟨7, -7, -6⟩<em>t </em>) = ⟨7, -7, -6⟩

Then the plane that passes through the origin with this as its normal vector has equation

⟨<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em>⟩ • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

We want the plane to pass through the point (9, 6, 0), so we just translate every vector pointing to the plane itself by adding ⟨9, 6, 0⟩,

(⟨<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>, <em>z</em>⟩ - ⟨9, 6, 0⟩) • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

Simplifying this expression and writing it standard form gives

⟨<em>x</em> - 9, <em>y</em> - 6, <em>z</em>⟩ • ⟨7, -7, -6⟩ = 0

7 (<em>x</em> - 9) - 7 (<em>y</em> - 6) - 6<em>z</em> = 0

7<em>x</em> - 63 - 7<em>y</em> + 42 - 6<em>z</em> = 0

7<em>x</em> - 7<em>y</em> - 6<em>z</em> = 21

so that

<em>a</em> = 7, <em>b</em> = -7, <em>c</em> = -6, and <em>d</em> = 21

Two gardens are being fenced in. Both gardens will require the same amount of fencing (both gardens have the same perimeter in m
Naily [24]

Answer: We know:

the triangle gardern(garden A) and the square garden(garden B) have the same perimeter.

This may sound obv, but it's important: garden A has 1 less side then garden B, which is why it can have longer sides but the same perimeter.

So side A1 + side A2 + side A3 = side B1 + side B2 +  side B3 + side B4.

A1 + A2 + A3 = B1 + B2 + B3 + 15(the extra length on the triangle sides)

Since B is a square, B = 15 m by 15 m.

I don't know enough about triangle to put the dementions, but it's an equilateral triangle so the sides are 20 m each.  Hope that helps! :)
