A thumbtack that is tossed can land point up or point down. The probability of a tack landing point up is 0.2. A simulation was

conducted in which a trial consisted of tossing 5 thumbtacks and recording the number of thumbtacks that land point up. Many trials of the simulation were conducted and the results are shown in the histogram.
Based on the results of the simulation, which of the following is closest to the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed?

A 0.09

B 0.19

C 0.28

D 0.72

E 0.91

Answer:

Option C: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

Now, we want to find the probability that at least 2 thumbtacks land pointing up when 5 thumbtacks are tossed. This is written as;

P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

From the histogram;

P(5) = 0.02

P(4) = 0.02

P(3) = 0.05

P(2) = 0.19

Thus;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28

A circus tent is supported by a rope that is staked to the ground. The tent makes a 90 angle with the ground. The following visu
Crazy boy [7]

The value of x is 34.64 feet

<h3>Right-angled triangle</h3>

Find the diagram attached

  • The height of the tent = 40 ft
  • length of the rope = x

Get the value of x using the SOH CAH TOA identity

sin 60 = \frac{x}{40}\\0.8660 = \frac{x}{40}\\x = 40(0.8660)\\x = 34.64feet

Hence the value of x is 34.64 feet

A square notepad has sides that are 10 centimeters long. What is the notepad's area?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

100cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The notepad is square.

The area of a square = length X width.

All the sides of a square are the same length.

Therefore, the area of the notepad = 10 X 10 which equals 100.

Don't forget the units!

The units for area is cm².

The units for volume is cm³.

This is area so your answer is 100cm².

Hope this helped, have a nice day!

Factor completely 15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2
diamong [38]

Answer:

3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 - 8x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2

Here we have to find the GCF of all the above terms.

The GCF is 3x^2, let's take out 3x^2 and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2

=3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 - 8x - 1)

Therefore, the factors are 3x^2 and (5x^3 + 4x^2 -8x -1).

15x^5 + 12x^4-24x^3-3x^2 = 3x^2 (5x^3 + 4x^2 -8x -1)

Thank you.
