Answer: WX = 4

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of segment addition postulate.

The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

Given information

VX = 18

VW = 14

Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate

WX = VX - VW

Substitute values into the expression

WX = 18 - 14

Simplify by subtraction

WX = 4

Hope this helps!! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3=x+x+3

add the X's on the right side together.

2x+3=2x+3

subtract 2x from both sides

3=3

subtract 3 from both sides

0=0

the statement is true for any value of x

Answer:

The right answer is "0.3193".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Mean,

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 13$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{13}$

As we know,

The cumulative distributive function will be:

⇒ $1-e^{-\lambda x}$

hence,

In the first 5 years, the probability of failure will be:

⇒ $P(X$

$=1-e^{-(\frac{1}{13} )\times 5}$

$=1-e^(-\frac{5}{13})$

$=1-0.6807$

$=0.3193$
