Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be

C (5;4) , A (2;1) ; B(7;6)

Suppose that C divide the line AB in ratio m/n from point A (AC is m, CB is n)

Use the formula xc=(m*xb+n*xa)/ (m+n)

5=(m*7+2n)/(m+n)

5m+5n= 7m+2n

2m=3n

m/n=3/2

Given: The probability hat the frozen chickens contain enough salmonella bacteria to cause illness if improperly cooked : p= 0.30

Sample size : n = 12

Let x = Number of contaminated chickens

Here , two outcomes for any chicken (either contaminated or not) , so it follows binomial distribution.

Binomial probability formula:

$P(X=x) = \ ^nC_x p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The probability that the consumer will have more than 6 contaminated chickens :-

$P(X>6)=P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)+P(X=11)+P(X=12)\\\\=^{12}C_6(0.3)^6(0.7)^6+^{12}C_7(0.3)^7(0.7)^5+^{12}C_8(0.3)^8(0.7)^4+^{12}C_9(0.3)^9(0.7)^3+^{12}C_{10}(0.3)^{10}(0.7)^2+^{12}C_{11}(0.3)^{11}(0.7)^1+^{12}C_0(0.3)^{12}(0.7)^0$

$=0.03860084306\approx0.0386$ <em> (simplified)</em>

Hence, the required probability = 0.0386

Sam is paid time and a half for overtime, if his basic hourly rate is $12.50 and he works 8 hours overtime, how much did he earn

Vesna [10]

It would be $100 if he works for eight hour hours if it wasn’t overtime but since it’s overtime and he works half of the amount it would be 50

Neko [114]

Answer:

Width = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 18x * 10y = 180xy

Length = 6xy

Width = ?

Since the shape of the office complex is a rectangle,

Area of a rectangle = length × width

180xy = 6xy × width

Width = 180xy / 6xy

Width = 30
