As part of the underwriting process for insurance, each prospective policyholder is tested for high blood pressure. Let X repres

ent the number of tests completed when the first person with high blood pressure is found. The expected value of X is 12.5. Calculate the probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure.

Answer:

0.053

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric distribution problem.

I'm geometric distribution problem,

E(X) = 1/p

Where;

E(X) is expected value and p is probability of success

Thus;

1/p = 12.5

p = 1/12.5

p = 0.08

Now, to find the probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure, we will use the probability formula in geometric distribution which is;

P(X = k) = qⁿ•p

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.08

q = 0.92

Thus;probability that the sixth person tested is the first one with high blood pressure will be expressed as;

P(X > 5) = (0.92^(5)) × 0.08

P(X > 5) = 0.053

Komok [63]

Answer:

The tree is 12 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the length of where the bird was sitting to the oak tree

let b represent the height of the tree

let c represent the length at which the bird flew

by pythagoras theorem

c²=a²+b²

b²=c²-a²

$b = \sqrt{ {c}^{2} - {a}^{2} }$

subtitute in the values

$b = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} - {9}^{2} }$

$b = \sqrt{225 - 81}$

$b = \sqrt{144}$

$b = 12$

A box contains 35 gems, of which 10 are real diamonds and 25 are fake diamonds. Gems are randomly taken out of the box, one at a

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways of selecting 3 gems of any kind without replacement is 35 * 34 * 33 = 39270

Now selecting 2 gems from 25 is 25C2

25 C 2 = 25 * 24/2 = 300

Selecting one good gem is 10

Total selection = 300 * 10 = 3000

P(gems) = 3000 / 39270

P(gems) = 300/3927

P(gems) = 100/1309

Trapezoids and kites

QUESTION 3

The sum of the interior angles of a kite is $360\degree$ .

$\Rightarrow 36\degree +70\degree+m$ .

$\Rightarrow 106\degree+m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

But the two remaining opposite angles of the kite are congruent.

$\Rightarrow m$

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow 2m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

QUESTION 4

RH is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the triangle with side lengths, RH,12, and 20.

Using the Pythagoras Theorem, we obtain;

$|RH|^2=12^2+20^2$

$|RH|^2=144+400$

$|RH|^2=544$

$|RH|=\sqrt{544}$

$|RH|=4\sqrt{34}$

QUESTION 5

The given figure is an isosceles trapezium.

The base angles of an isosceles trapezium are equal.

Therefore $m$

QUESTION 6

The measure of angle Y and Z are supplementary angles.

The two angles form a pair of co-interior angles of the trapezium.

This implies that;

$m$

$\Rightarrow m$

$\Rightarrow m$

QUESTION 7

The sum of the interior angles of a kite is $360\degree$ .

$\Rightarrow 48\degree +110\degree+m$ .

$\Rightarrow 158\degree+m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

But the two remaining opposite angles are congruent.

$\Rightarrow m$

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow 2m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

QUESTION 8

The diagonals of the kite meet at right angles.

The length of BC can also be found using Pythagoras Theorem;

$|BC|^2=4^2+7^2$

$\Rightarrow |BC|^2=16+49$

$\Rightarrow |BC|^2=65$

$\Rightarrow |BC|=\sqrt{65}$

QUESTION 9.

The sum of the interior angles of a trapezium is $360\degree$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

But the measure of angle M and K are congruent.

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .

$\Rightarrow m$ .
