Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The last one is absurd. You can't have a ladder reaching higher than itself. The question is a Pythagorean problem.

Givens

a = 3

b = ?

c = 25 feet

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

3^2 + b^2 = 25^2

9 + b^2 = 625 Subtract 9 from both sides.

b^2 = 625 - 9

b^2 = 616 Take the square root of both sides.

b = sqrt(616)

b = 24.8

Answer:

The value of P (A ∩ B) is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are those events that do not effect the occurrence of each other, i.e. if event X and Y are independent then the occurrence of X and Y are not influenced by each other.

For independent events X and Y the joint probability of X and Y is:

$P (X\cap Y)=P(X)\times P(Y)$

It is provided that events A and B are independent of each other.

And P (A) = P (B) = 0.50.

Compute the value of P (A ∩ B) as follows:

$P (A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B) \\= 0.50\times0.50\\=0.25$

Thus, the value of P (A ∩ B) is 0.25.

Locate the mean of 2046,971,3113,and 1850.

Debora [2.8K]

To find the mean, you have to add all the numbers then divide it by how many numbers there are.

In this case, you'll need to add all those numbers and divide it by 4.
$2046+971+3113+1850=7980\\7980\div4=1995$

The mean is 1995.
