Answer:

6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar means the same shape but smaller. So we have to find the connection between 17 and 5. Which can be achieved by this equation

17/5=3.4

Now we apply the number 3.4 to find the length of PQ using the same side on the similar shape

2*3.4=6.8

Hope this helps and I’m sorry to ask but I would love a Brainliest

7 is the answer bc NL and QO are congruent so you divide 17 by 5 and get 3.4( that’s what the scale factor) and NM and QP are congruent so 2•3.4= 6.8 and it says to round it to the nearest tenth and that would equal to 7

Find the measure of KM¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(whole secant) x (external part) = (whole secant) x (external part)

( 7+x+2) * 7 = ( 6+8) * 6

Combine like terms

(9+x) *7 = 14*6

Distribute

63 +7x = 84

Subtract 63

63 +7x -63 = 84-63

7x =21

Divide by 7

7x/7 = 21/7

x = 3

KM = x+2+7

= 3+2+7

f) The life of a power transmission tower is exponentially distributed, with mean life 25 years. If three towers, operated indep

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the exponential distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Probability of a single tower being standing after 35 years:

Single tower, so exponential.

Mean of 25 years, so $m = 25, \mu = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04$

We have to find $P(X > 35)$

$P(X > 35) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-0.04*35} = 0.2466$

What is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Now binomial.

Each tower has a 0.2466 probability of being standing after 35 years, so $p = 0.2466$

3 towers, so $n = 3$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.2466)^{2}.(0.7534)^{1} = 0.1374$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.2466)^{3}.(0.7534)^{0} = 0.0150$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1374 + 0.0150 = 0.1524$

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

A balloon artist creates balloon hats for children at a store’s grand opening. The graph shows the number of balloons the artist

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The phrase that best describes the the line representing the relationship between the number of balloons remaining and the number of hats created is:

Negative slope.
Constant slope.

Decreasing function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a graph that represents the relationship between the Number of Balloons Hats and the number of balloons remaining.

Clearly from the graph we could that it is a linear function.

Also, the function is a decreasing function since with the increase of one variable that is the number of Balloon hats produced the other variable i.e. Balloons remaining is decreasing.

Also, we can calculate the slope of the line.

as the line is passing through (0,500) and (100,0)

Hence, the slope of line is:

$Slope=\dfrac{0-500}{100-0}\\\\Slope=\dfrac{-500}{100}\\\\Slope=-5$

Hence, the graph has a negative slope.

Also, we know that a slope of a line is always constant.

So, the correct statements are:

Negative slope.

Constant slope.

Decreasing function.
