Answer:

  pool radius is 8+4√5 ≈ 16.94 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the radius of the pool. Then r+2 is the radius to the outside of the walkway. The ratio of areas is given as 4/5, so we have ...

  πr²/(π(r+2)²) = 4/5

  5r² = 4(r² +4r +4) . . . . cross-multiply

  r² -16r -16 = 0 . . . . . . . subtract the right-side expression from both sides

__

  r² -16r +64 = 80 . . . . . add 80 to complete the square

  (r -8)² = 80

  r -8 = √80 = 4√5 . . . . square root; use only the positive root

  r = 8 +4√5 ≈ 16.94 . . . meters

The radius of the pool is 8+4√5 ≈ 16.94 meters.

_____

The area of a circle of radius r is given by the formula ...

  A = πr²

Answer:

5/52

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a deck, with 26 red and 26 black cards. There are 2 red ones, 2 black threes, and 1 six of hearts. The # of favorable outcomes is 2 + 2 + 1 = 5, so the answer is 5/52.

Bingel [31]
First, always draw. You learned to draw in kindergarben (Yes I spelled it like that on purpose LOL) for a reason.

1) Draw your rectangle on a piece of paper or paint. 
2) Scale factor each side to enlarge which means you're going to multiply. 
--- Note if it said 'to reduce' then you would divide.
3) Then find the area by multiplying the two given sides (12 x 6 = 72).
4) Don't forget your unit of measurement - 72ft²

So your answer is D.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Mean = 8

Variance = 7.36

Standard Deviation = 2.7129

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution with parameters, n and p.

Where

n is sample size (given as 100)

p is the probability of success, or probability of defective (given as 8% or 0.08)

The mean, variance, standard deviation formula for binomial distribution is shown below:

Mean = np

Variance = npq

Standard Deviation = \sqrt{npq}

Where q would be probability of failure, or "1 - p"

Thus,

n = 100

p = 0.08

q = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

SO, we have:

Mean = np=100*0.08=8

Variance = npq=100*0.08*0.92 = 7.36

Standard Deviation = \sqrt{npq}=\sqrt{7.36}=2.7129
