This is a binomial probability situation, since a dog either is adopted or is not adopted. The chances of a dog's being adopted in 0.20. Here we're speaking of 9 visits. Thus, n=9, p=0.20.
One way of doing this problem is to calculate the probability that ONE dog will be adopted, and then that that TWO dogs will be adopted, and so on, up to NINE dogs. Add together these nine probabilities to get your answer.
But a better (faster) approach would be to calculate the probability that ZERO dogs will be adopted, and then to subtract this from 1.000.
Using my TI-84Plus calculator, I figured that P(0 dogs will be adopted) is binompdf(9,0.20,0), or 0.134. Subtracting this from 1.000, we get 0.866 (answer to this problem).

You can first take out an x^2 from each number , 3x^6 - 39x^4 + 108x^2 = x^2 ( 3x^4 - 39x^2 + 108) Then just factor and solve for the zero's of the equation
The lengths of sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratio 1 : √3 : 2. Multiplying these values by 5 tells you the sides have the lengths 5 : 5√3 : 10.
The length x of the middle-length side is ...
c. 5√3
Answer:
5 min
Step-by-step explanation:
time taken=distance required to travel/speed of train
total distance train have to cover to just left the tunnel is (lenght of tunnel+length of train) =2km+250m
=2250m
speed of train is 27km/hr
multiply 5/18 to convert in m/s
i.e, (5/18)×27=7.5m/s
now time taken =2250m/(7.5m/s)
=300s
and,300s =5min
