Answer: 8 ft and 4 in, 8 1/3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
100/12=50/6=25/3=8.3333333...
1/3 of a foot is 1/3x12 which is 12/3 which is 4 in.
Answer:
Probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that 20% of the candy produced are red. A random sample of 100 bags of Skittles is taken.
The distribution we can use here is;
~ N(0,1)
where, p = 0.20 and n = 100
Let
= proportion of red candies in our sample
So, P(
< 0.20) = P(
<
) = P(Z < 0) = 0.5
Therefore, probability that the proportion in our sample of red candies will be less than 20% is 0.5 .
Answer:
a = 2, b = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanding
using Binomial expansion, we have that:
=


We have that the coefficients of the first two terms are 128 and -224.
For the first term:
=>
=> ![a = \sqrt[7]{128}\\ \\\\a = 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7B128%7D%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%5C%5Ca%20%3D%202)
For the second term:

Therefore, a = 2, b = 3.5
Average thickness of book = Total thickness/mo. of books
= 28 cm/ 10
= 2.8 cm
Thus, on average, each book has 2.8 cm thickness.
Work backwards with pythagoras' theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
Here, a and b both equal to x. Therefore, you can write this as 8^2=2x^2. So 64=2x^2. Sqrt on both sides to give you 8=2x, hence x=4. However I must warn you that this working out may have a flaw, as I found that x actually equals to 5.66
