Pythagorean Theorem is

a ²+ b ² = c ²

a and b are the shorter sides, while c is the hypotenuse, or longest side. Let’s say the side we are looking for is “b”.

Let’s first rearrange the equation, then sub in.

a ²+ b ² = c ²
b ² = c ²- a ²
b = √ (c ²- a ²)
b = √(17 ²- 15 ²)
b = √(289-225)
b = √ 64
b = 8

The sum of two numbers is 12. The difference of the same two numbers is −4. Find the two numbers.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

  4 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent one of the numbers. Then the other is 12-a, and their difference is ...

  a - (12-a) = -4

  2a = 8 . . . . add 12

  a = 4 . . . . . divide by 2

  12-a = 8 . . . . find the other number

The two numbers are 4 and 8.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The probability that 8 mice are​ required is 0.2428.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scientist inoculates​ mice, one at a​ time, with a disease germ until he finds 3 that have contracted the disease. If the probability of contracting the disease is two sevenths.

To find : What is the probability that 8 mice are​ required? The probability that that 8 mice are required is nothing ?

Solution :

Applying binomial distribution,

P(X=r)=^nC_r p^rq^{n-r}

Where, p is the probability of success p=\frac{2}{7}

q is the probability of failure q=1-p, q=1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}

n is total number of trials n=8

r=3

Substitute the values,

P(X=3)=^8C_3 (\frac{2}{7})^3 (\frac{5}{7})^{8-3}

P(X=3)=\frac{8!}{3!5!}\times \frac{8}{343}\times (\frac{5}{7})^{5}

P(X=3)=\frac{8\times 7\times 6}{3\times 2\times 1}\times \frac{8}{343}\times \frac{3125}{16807}

P(X=3)=0.2428

Therefore, the probability that 8 mice are​ required is 0.2428.
