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

Answer:

x equals 3.00cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem.

a = (14x-45)

b = (16x+27)

c = (25x)

Plug in the variables above into Pythagoras' Theorem that is, a^2+b^2=c^2.

Solve the resulting quadratic equation and reject the negative answer as length is always positive.

Solve for all values of x by factoring.<br> x^2 + 4x – 30 = -3x
vichka [17]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  + 4x - 30 =  - 3x \\{x}^{2}  + 7x - 30 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 3x + 10x - 30 = 0 \\ x(x - 3) + 10(x - 3) = 0 \\ (x - 3)(x + 10) = 0 \\  \boxed{x = 3} \\  \boxed{x =  - 10}

<h3><em><u>x=3 or x=-10</u></em> is the right answer.</h3>
