Answer:
1) 6 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Put 3 1/4 where "a" is and do the arithmetic.
2(3 1/4) = 2·3 + 2·(1/4) = 6 2/4 = 6 1/2
Let X be a discrete binomial random variable.
Let p = 0.267 be the probability that a person does not cover his mouth when sneezing.
Let n = 18 be the number of independent tests.
Let x be the number of successes.
So, the probability that the 18 individuals, 8 do not cover their mouth after sneezing will be:
a) P (X = 8) = 18! / (8! * 10!) * ((0.267) ^ 8) * ((1-0.267) ^ (18-8)).
P (X = 8) = 0.0506.
b) The probability that between 18 individuals observed at random less than 6 does not cover their mouth is:
P (X = 5) + P (X = 4) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 0) = 0.6571.
c) If it was surprising, according to the previous calculation, the probability that less than 6 people out of 18 do not cover their mouths is 66%. Which means it's less likely that more than half of people will not cover their mouths when they sneeze.
Answer:
y = -2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
- the altitude trough F is a perpendicular line to the line DE
- find slope of line DE
D ( x2 = -5, y2 = -1); E (x1 = 3, y1 = 3)
slope m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-1-3) / (-5-3) = -4/ -8 = 1/2
-find equation of the altitude trough F
lines that are perpendicular have the slope negative reciprocal (negative reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)
y= -2x +b , for point F(1, -5)
-5 = -2*1 +b, add 2 to both sides
-5 +2 = b, combine like terms
-3 =b
equation of the altitude trough F is y = -2x -3
Answer:
12.5 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of tile = 2.5 in
Base of tile = 2*height of tile = 2*2.5 = 5 in
Length of other side of tile = 2.5 in
Required:
Area of the tile
SOLUTION:
Area of the tile = area of parallelogram
All we need to calculate the area of the tile, is the base and the height.
Area of parallelogram = base × height
Area of tile = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5 in²
