Mathematics

-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Pr = 0.059049

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 0.9 --- probability of scoring

Required

Probability that his first miss is his 6th shot

Let q represent the event that he did not score.

Using complement rule:

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

The event that his first miss is his 6th is represented as:

p p p p p q ---- That he scoress the first 5 attempts

So, the probability is:

Pr = p^5 * q

Pr = 0.9^5 * 0.1

Pr = 0.059049

Find the area of these shape
erastovalidia [21]
Draw a line on the hole which forms a square. The square lengths are 3 inches because 12-9 equals 3. 3^2= 9 which is the area of that square below the rectangle. Draw another line to separate the big rectangle into two rectangles. The smaller of these two new rectangles dimensions are 4 by 7 in. 7x4= 28 ft as the area of the smaller rectangle. The dimensions are the larger rectangle are 4 by 9 inch. The area of the larger rectangle is 36 inches.

36+28+9=73 in^2 as the total area.

Completing the square allows us to see the vertex of the quadratic equation's parabola. Explain why. 
Fynjy0 [20]
Well the vertex is the highest or possibly lowest point in a quadratic equation, the part where it hits the curve. For example imagine this is your graph--> ∩.
This graph has its vertex at the top. So when we complete the square and find the zeroes we can then find where the graph meets in the middle thus finding our vertex.

-138≥-6(6b-7)║ what is the value of b?
Keith_Richards [23]
-138 <span>≥ -6(6b - 7)

Start by multiplying everything within the parentheses by -6.

-138 </span><span>≥ -36b + 42

Now move the +42 to the other side, so you're left with -36b. (You do this by subtracting 4242)

-138 - 42 </span><span>≥ -36b

-180 </span>≥ -36b

Divide both sides by -36 to find the value of b.

-180 / -36 ≥ b

5 ≥ b.

The answer is b ≤ 5.
