Answer:

CE = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = 3

EB = 4

CE = x

ED = x + 1

Required:

CE

Solution:

First we need to determine the value of x by generating am equation as follows:

CE × ED = AE × EB (Interacting Chords Theorem)

Substitute

x × (x + 1) = 3 × 4

x² + x = 12

Subtract 12 from each side

x² + x - 12 = 12 - 12

x² + x - 12 = 0

Factorize to find the value of x

x² + 4x - 3x - 12 = 0

x(x + 4) -3(x + 4) = 0

(x - 3)(x + 4) = 0

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Or

x + 4 = 0

x = -4

Let's use the positive value of x

CE = x = 3

Javier volunteers in community events each month. He does not do more than five events in a month. He attends exactly five event
mezya [45]

Answer:

The probability of Javier volunteers for less than three a month is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the questions,

The probability of Javier to attend exactly 5 events :-

P ( x = 5 ) = 25% = \frac{1}{4}

The probability of Javier to attend exactly 4 events :-

P ( x = 4 ) = \frac{1}{4}

The probability of Javier to attend exactly 3 events :-

P ( x = 3 ) = \frac{1}{4}

The probability of Javier to attend exactly 2 events :-

P ( x = 2 ) = \frac{3}{20}

The probability of Javier to attend exactly 1 events :-

P ( x = 1 ) = \frac{1}{20}

The probability of Javier to attend no events :-

P ( x = 0 ) = \frac{1}{20}

Now we have to calculate the probability of Javier volunteers for less than three P ( x < 3 ).

P ( x < 3 ) = P ( x = 0 ) + P ( x = 1 ) + P ( x = 2 )

P ( x < 3 ) = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{20} + \frac{3}{20}   = \frac{1 + 1 + 3}{20}  = \frac{5}{20}  = \frac{1}{4}   = 0.25 = 25 %.
