Answer:

4√3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle. When two sides are given in a right triangle, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the third side.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

The a here is 11, while the b is x. The c is always the hypotenuse (the longest side), which is 13.

Now we substitute:

11² + x² = 13²

121 + x² = 169

-121 -121

x² = 48

√x² = √48

x = √48 <-- We can simplify that.

√48 = 12 * 4 = 3 * 4 * 4 = 4√3

Answer:

4*√3

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem,

11²+x²=13²

x²=169-121=48

x=4√3

An automobile manufacturer has discovered that 20% of all the transmissions it installed in a particular style of truck are defe

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

0.148 = 14.8% probability that they will need to order at least one more new transmission

Step-by-step explanation:

For each transmission, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective after a year of use, or it is not. The probability of a transmission being defective is independent of any other transmission. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

20% of all the transmissions it installed in a particular style of truck are defective after a year of use.

This means that $p = 0.2$

Sold seven trucks:

This means that $n = 7$

It has two of the new transmissions in stock. What is the probability that they will need to order at least one more new transmission?

This is the probability that at least 3 are defective, that is:

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)$

In which

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{7,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{7} = 0.2097$

$P(X = 1) = C_{7,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.3670$

$P(X = 2) = C_{7,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.2753$

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.2097 + 0.3670 + 0.2753 = 0.852$

$P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3) = 1 - 0.852 = 0.148$

0.148 = 14.8% probability that they will need to order at least one more new transmission

Ari’s chickens eat their pellets at a constant rate throughout each day.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

If we make the days and ounces be in the ordered pair, the points are: (2, 39), (4, 33), (6, 27), and (8, 21). We may use linear regression from the calculator using the equation,
y = Ax + B
where A is the slope. The value of A from the linear regression is equal to -3.
