mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a convenience store regularly buys mangoes from a wholesale dealer. For every shipment, the manager randomly inspects five mangoes from a box containing 20 mangoes for damages due to transportation. Suppose the chosen box contains exactly 2 damaged mangoes.

In the selected box 18 good mangoes and 2 damaged mangoes are there

a) Find the probability that the first mango is not damaged.

= prob of selecting 1 from any one of 18 good mangoes = $\frac{18}{20} =0.90$

b. Find the probability that neither of the mangoes is damaged. =

Prob of selecting 2 from 18 good mangoes

= $\frac{18C2}{20C2} =0.5276$

c. Find the probability that both mangoes are damaged.

= Prob of selecting 2 from 2 bad mangoes

= $\frac{2C2}{20C2} =0.005263$

What is x given triangleABC ~triangleDBE?

denis-greek [22]

x = 37.5 (or) $\frac{75}{2}$

Solution:

Given $\triangle A B C \sim \triangle D B E$ .

Let us take BE = x and BC = 25 + x.

To determine the value of x:

If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.

$$\frac{AC}{DE}=\frac{B C}{B E}$

$$\frac{50}{30} =\frac{25+x}{x}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

$50x=30(25+x)$

$50x=750+30x$

Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.

$20 x=750$

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get

x = 37.5 (or) $\frac{75}{2}$

Hence the value of x is 37.5 or $\frac{75}{2}$ .
