Answer:

-7°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Freezing point of water = 0°C

By adding salt, freezing point lowers by 7°C ;

The freezing point of salt water can be expressed as ;

Since temperature lowers :

Freezing point of salt water :

Freezing point of water - 7°C

0°C - 7°C

= - 7°C

S KM ∥ JN? Why or why not?
bixtya [17]

Given: We have the given figure through which we can see

LK=16,

KJ=10,

LM=24,

MN=15

To Find: Whether KM || JN and the reasoning behind it.

Solution: Yes, KM || JN because \frac{16}{10}= \frac{24}{15}

Explanation:

For this solution, we use the concept of Similar Triangles.

Now, KM || JN if ΔLKM ~ ΔLJN (i.e., if ΔLKM is similar to ΔLJN).

Now, ∠MLK=∠NLJ

To prove similarity of the two triangles, we have to show that the sides are proportional. In other words, LK:KJ = LM:LN

LK:KJ=LM:LN\\\\ \frac{LK}{KJ} =\frac{LM}{LN}\\\\\frac{16}{26}= \frac{24}{39}\\\\

which is true as both sides simplify to \frac{8}{13}

Thus, we see that ΔLKM ~ ΔLJN (i.e., if ΔLKM is similar to ΔLJN).

Therefore, KM || JN.

To come to the reasoning, notice that

\frac{LK}{LJ} =\frac{LM}{LN}\\\\\frac{LK}{LK+KJ} =\frac{LM}{LM+MN}\\\\\frac{LK+KJ}{LK} =\frac{LM+MN}{LM}\\\\1+\frac{KJ}{LK}=1+ \frac{MN}{LM}\\\\\frac{LK}{KJ} =\frac{LM}{MN}

In other words, \frac{16}{10}= \frac{24}{15}

The probability that a child will learn to swim before age 6 is 0.312. If you take a group of 12 children, what is the probabili
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to compute the probability of none of these 12 children learns to swim before 6 years of age. This is given by:

p(0) = (1 - 0.312)^(12) = 0.688^(12) = 0.01124

We now need to calculate the probability that one child learns to swim before 6 years of age.

p(1) = 12*0.312*(1 - 0.312)^(11) = 3.744*(0.688)^(11)

p(1) = 3.744*0.01634

p(1) = 0.0612

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is:

p = p(0) + p(1) = 0.01124 + 0.0612 = 0.07244
