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:
r = 16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From the figure attached,
AB is the tangent drawn from a point A to the circle C.
BC = r [Radius of the circle]
Length of AC = (18 + r)
AB = 30
By the property of a tangent drawn to a circle,
"Radius of a circle and tangent are perpendicular to each other"
AB ⊥ BC
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
AB² + BC² = AC²
(30)² + r² = (r + 18)²
900 + r² = r² + 36r + 324
36r = 900 - 324
r =
r = 16 units
