Answer: $\frac{385}{4}\ in.^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of prism $L=3\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\ in.$

Width of prism $w=5\ in.$

Height of prism $h=\frac{11}{2}\ in.$

The volume of a rectangular prism is

$\Rightarrow V=L\times w\times h$

Putting values

$\Rightarrow V=\frac{7}{2}\times 5\times \frac{11}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{385}{4}\ in.^3$

The volume of prism is $\frac{385}{4}\ in.^3$

Is anyone able to help me with this question:

Serga [27]

Answer:

not sure but this info might help you.

Step-by-step explanation:

the diagonal in the rectangle splits it into two right angled triangles, hence the hypotenuse is the diagonal.

once you find the measurement, we all know that a square has all sides equal and the diagonal splits it into 2 equilateral triangles. so, the side of the square =the diagonal's measurement.

What is equal to n in this equation

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

n = -45

Step-by-step explanation:

(n-5) /10 = -5

Multiply each side by 10

(n-5) /10 *10= -5*10

n-5 = -50

Add 5 to each side

n-5+5 = -50+5

n = -45

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 21.58% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

b) 97.91% probability that at least one person is a repeat offender

c) 3.69

d) 1.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

9% of all drivers arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) are repeat offenders

This means that $p = 0.09$

41 people arrested for DUI in Illinois are selected at random.

This means that $n = 41$

a. What is the probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders?

This is P(X = 3).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{41,3}.(0.09)^{3}.(0.91)^{38} = 0.2158$

21.58% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

b. What is the probability that at least one person is a repeat offender?

Either none are repeat offenders, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ .

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = 0) = C_{41,0}.(0.09)^{0}.(0.91)^{41} = 0.0209$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0209 = 0.9791$

97.91% probability that at least one person is a repeat offender

c. What is the mean number of repeat offenders?

$E(X) = np = 41*0.09 = 3.69$

d. What is the standard deviation of the number of repeat offenders?

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{41*0.09*0.91} = 1.83$
