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

A) length= w+5
width=w
perimeter=42mm
B) 2(w+5)+2w>42
2w+10+2w>42
4w>32
w>8
The width should be greater than 8 and the length should be more than 13.

Hope this helps!

How many squares would have to be shaded so that 2/9 of the shape is shaded?​
lukranit [14]

Answer:

4.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 18 squares, if you want to shade 2/9 you have to make the denominator, which is 9 into 18, so you multiply by 2, you will do the same thing to the numerator, 2x2=4 9x2=18.

Brainiest would be appreciated.

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On each swing, she travels along an arc that is 75% as long as the previous swing's arc. The t
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Total length of the first swing=64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;

Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing

where;

Total length of all 4 swings=175 m

Length of first swing=x

Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x

Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing

Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x

Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing

Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x

replacing;

Total length of all 4 swings

175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x

2.734375 x=175

x=175/2.734375

x=64

Total length of the first swing=x=64 m
