Answer:

$204.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two legs be the adjacent and the opposite of the right triangle. To get the third side (the hypotenuse), we will use the pythagoras theorem;

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2\\hyp^2 =12^2+12^2\\hyp^2 = 144+144\\hyp^2 = 288\\hyp = \sqrt{288}\\hyp =  16.97 feet

Perimeter of the garden will be the sum of all the three sides.

Perimeter of the garden = 12 + 12 + 16.97

Perimeter of the garden = 40.97 feet

Since 1 foot = $5

40.97 feet = x

Cross multiply

1*x = 5*40.97

x = 204.85

Hence it will cost $204.85 to fence the entire perimeter of the garden

At a certain airport, 65% of the flights arrive on time. A sample of 10 flights is studied. Find the probability that all 10 of
babunello [35]

Answer:

So, the probability is P=0.0135.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that at a certain airport, 65% of the flights arrive on time.

We get that p=0.65 and q=1-0.65=0.35.

We have 10 flights, so n=10.

We calculate the probability that all 10 of the flights were on time, so k=10.

We use the formulu:

\boxed{P(X=k)=C^n_k \cdot p^k\cdot q^{n-k}}

we get:

P(X=10)=C^{10}_{10}\cdot 0.65^{10}\cdot 0.35^0\\\\P(X=10)=1\cdot 0.0135\cdot 1\\\\P(X=10)=0.0135\\

So, the probability is P=0.0135.
