9 longer sticks were used.
This is how i get it.
1. change m to cm, 1m =100cm
2. add both together, divide by 16 =8.125. Which means 1 of the stick should more than 8, and 1 of the other stick should be less than 8
3. substitute the equation
4.(55 x 7)+(75 x 9) =1060
The answer is 6.25 square kilometres
one side is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4 =5
and for the area we multiply the two 1.25*5=6.25
Given that half of the personal music players sold by a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 20% fail in the first six months.
Let A be the event that it fails in I 6 months
B1 = it has a flaw
B2 = it does not have a flaw
B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive
the chances that it has this flaw
=The probability that it has the flaw is
-16+-x/4=-3
-x/4=13
-x=52
x=-52
Each coin will either land as a head or a tail. - 2 possible results.
for 5 coins its 2*2*2*2*2 = 32 different results.
