Answer:

10.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2} \\8^{2} +b^{2} =13^{2} \\$

64 + $b^{2}$ = 169

$b^{2} = 105\\$

b= $\sqrt{105}$

b= 10.2469

The length of each side of a cube is x cm. If x is an interference,why can’t the volume of the cube equal 15 cm

slamgirl [31]

we don't know what the value of "X" is, so therefore, we cannot conclude that it is 15 cm.

Point D is the midpoint of the outer circle that we aim to find the area of

The circle has a diameter of WZ and radii of WC and CZ

We know that YZ=YD=10 cm

Let DC be $x$ and CY be $10-x$

The radius of the outer circle can be written as $8+8+x$ or $10+10-x$ which we can equate to find the value of $x$

$8+8+x=10+10-x$
$16+x=20-x$
$2x=4$
$x=2$

Therefore, the radius of the circle is $8+8+2=18$

And hence the area of the circle is $\pi (18^{2})$ =324 $\pi$

BlueSky Air has the best on-time arrival rate with 80% of its flights arriving on time. A test is conducted by randomly selectin

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

0.211 = 21.1% probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late

Step-by-step explanation:

For each flight, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they arrive late, or they do not. The probability of a flight arriving late is independent of any other flight. 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.

BlueSky Air has the best on-time arrival rate with 80% of its flights arriving on time.

This means that 100 - 80 = 20% are late, which means that $p = 0.2$

Randomly selecting 16 BlueSky Air flights

This means that $n = 16$

What is the probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late?

This is P(X = 2).

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.211$

0.211 = 21.1% probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late

Students who attend Anytown College pay either in-state or out-of-state tuition, depending on where they reside. The mean and st

netineya [11]

Answer:

For a pair of randomly selected in- and out-of-state students, the sum of their tuition typically varies from the mean of $6,348.75 by about $1,508.48.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\mu S = \$6,348.75$

$\sigma S = \$1,508$

Required

Interpret the standard deviations

In statistic, standard deviation is a measure of how the given data lies away (or varies) from the mean.

This implies that:

For the in-state students, the standard deviation measures how the sum of their tuition varies from 6348.75

For the out-state students, the standard deviation measures how the sum of their tuition varies from 1508
