<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Perimeter of rectangle = 72 cm
  • The length is 3 more than twice the width.

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Dimensions of rectangle
<h3 /><h3><u>Explantion</u></h3>

<u>Using </u><u>Formula</u>

\boxed{\underline{\tt{\red{\:(perimeter_{rectang}\:=\:2\times (Length+Width)}}}}

<u>Let,</u>

  • Length of Rectangle = x cm
  • Breadth of Rectangle = y cm

<u>According</u><u> to</u><u> question</u><u>,</u>

==> perimeter of Rectangle = 72

==> 2(x+y) = 72

==> x + y = 72/2

==> x + y = 36_________________(1)

<u>Again,</u>

==> x = 2y + 3

==> x - 2y = 3__________________(2)

<u>Subtract</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>equ(</u><u>2</u><u>)</u>

==> y + 2y = 36 - 3

==> 3y = 33

==> y = 33/3

==> y = 11

<u>keep </u><u>in </u><u>equ(</u><u>1</u><u>)</u>

==> x - 2×11 = 3

==> x = 3 + 22

==> x = 25

<h3><u>Hence</u></h3>

  • <u>Length</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>Rectangle</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>cm</u>
  • <u>Width </u><u>of </u><u>Rectangle</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>cm</u>

<h3><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u><u>_</u></h3>

An absentminded professor does not remember which of his 12 keys will open his ocedoor. Suppose he tries them at random and with
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 0.0052

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of times experiment was performed (n)= 12

Probability of the event (that one key out of a total of 12 opens the door) = 1/12 = 0.083

Hence, p = 0.83

q = 1 - p = 11/12 = 0.917

x = 3

Since the experiment was performed n number of times, a binomial probability distribution can defined the experiment.

P(x=r) = nCr ×p^r × q^n-r

P(x=3) = 12C3 × (0.083)⁴ × (0.917)^8

P(x=3) = 220 × (0.083)⁴ × (0.917)^8

P(x=3) = 0.0052
