Answer:

9 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be represented by l - 5, where l is the length.

Use the area formula, A = lw, and plug in l - 5 as w, and 36 as the area. Then, simplify and factor

A = lw

36 = l(l - 5)

36 = l² - 5l

0 = l² - 5l - 36

Factor:

(l - 9)(l + 4)

Set equal to zero and solve for both solutions:

(l - 9)(l + 4) = 0

l - 9 = 0

l = 9

l + 4 = 0

l = -4

The length cannot be negative, so the answer has to be 9.

The length is 9 centimeters

Ví dụ 1.5. Một người đi mua hàng 3 lần. Xác suất lần đầu mua được hàng tốt là 0,7.
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a) 0.50575,

b) 0.042

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1.5. A person goes shopping 3 times. The probability of buying a good product for the first time is 0.7.

If the first time you can buy good products, the next time you can buy good products is 0.85;  (I interpret this as, if you buy a good product, then the next time you buy a good product is 0.85).

And if the last time I bought a bad product, the next time I bought a good one is  0.6. Calculate the probability that:

a) All three times the person bought good goods.

P(Good on 1st shopping event AND Good on 2nd shopping event AND Good on 3rd shopping event) =

P(Good on 1st shopping event) *P(Good on 2nd shopping event | Good on 1st shopping event) * P(Good on 3rd shopping event | 1st and 2nd shopping events yield Good) =

(0.7)(0.85)(0.85) =

0.50575      

b) Only the second time that person buys a bad product.

P(Good on 1st shopping event AND Bad on 2nd shopping event AND Good on 3rd shopping event) =

P(Good on 1st shopping event) *P(Bad on 2nd shopping event | Good on 1st shopping event) * P(Good on 3rd shopping event | 1st is Good and 2nd is Bad shopping events) =

(0.7)(1-0.85)(1-0.6) =

(0.7)(0.15)(0.4) =

0.042
