Let width be x
length = x+10
5cm is cut from the corners.
so length & width reduce by 10 cm.
..
the width will be x-10
length will be x+10-10
height will be 5cm
...
x(x-10)*5=6000 1 liter = 1000 cm^3
5x^2-50x-6000=0
/5
x^2-10x-600=0
x^2-30x+20x-600=0
x(x-30)+20(x-30)=0
(x-30)(x+20)=0
x= 30 the width
length = 40
...
CHECK
30*40*5= 6000 = 6 liters

A football coach is trying to decide: When a team is ahead late in the game, which strategy is better?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

You are more likely to win by playing regular defense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume out of 100 reviewed games, there were 50 regular defense games and 50 prevent defense games. And out of 50 regular defense games, 38 were win, 12 were lose. And out of 50 prevent defense game, 29 were win, 21 were lose.

Probability to win the game by playing regular defense is:

P(win | regular) = 38/50 = 0.76

Probability to win the game by playing prevent defense is:

P(win | prevent) = 29/50 = 0.58

Since the probability of winning by regular defense game is more than prevent defense game (0.76 > 0.58), you are more likely to win by playing regular defense.

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens in a cup. If a person randomly selects 3 of them, what is the probability that they're al
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

option a)

0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of red pens in cup = 5

number of black pens in cup = 10

number of pen randomly selected = 3

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens. So there are 5 + 10 = 15 pens in all.

probability of having all red pens = (5/15 x 4/14 x 3/13)

                                                       = 2/91

probability of having all black pens = (10/15 x 9/14 x 8/13)

                                                           = 24/91

probability that all pen are of same colour = 24/91 + 2/91

                                                                      =  2/7

                                                                      ≈ 0.286
