Answer:

c. 0.3421

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability of selecting the biased coin is shown below:

The probability of any coin selected is 1 ÷ 2

The probability in the case when the biased coin chosen & wins 1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)

And, the win probability is 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)

Now the probability of biased or win is

=  {1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)} ÷ { 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)}

= 0.13 ÷ 0.38

= 0.3421

Hence, the correct option is c. 0.3421

Use the divergence theorem to find the outward flux of the vector field F(x,y,z)=2x2i+5y2j+3z2k across the boundary of the recta
aksik [14]

Answer:

The answer is "120".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

F(x,y,z)=2x^2i+5y^2j+3z^2k \\

differentiate the above value:

div F =2 \frac{x^2i}{\partial x}+5 \frac{y^2j}{\partial y}+3 \frac{z^2k }{\partial z}  \\

        = 4x+10y+6z

\ flu \ of \ x = \int  \int div F dx

              = \int\limits^1_0 \int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^1_0 {(4x+10y+6z)} \, dx \, dy \, dz \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0 \int\limits^3_0 {(4xz+10yz+6z^2)}^{1}_{0} \, dx \, dy  \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0 \int\limits^3_0 {(4x+10y+6)} \, dx \, dy  \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0  {(4xy+10y^2+6y)}^3_{0} \, dx   \\\\ = \int\limits^1_0  {(12x+90+18)}\, dx   \\\\= {(12x^2+90x+18x)}^{1}_{0}   \\\\= {(12+90+18)}   \\\\=30+90\\\\= 120

If pqr = 1 , rst = 0 , and spr = 0, which of the following must be zero?
ahrayia [7]
P,Q,R can't be 0, because their product is nonzero. Either of S and T could be 0, but the third one only works if S is 0.

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box. <br><br> x = ___
lapo4ka [179]
Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

The picture tells us that the triangle is equilateral (this means that each angle is 60°). We can assume this because each side has been marked with the same line.

Because each angle is equal to 60°, this means that:

7x+4=60

Now solve for x:

7x=56
x=8
