A blind taste test will be conducted with 9 volunteers to determine whether people can taste a difference between bottled water

and tap water. Each participant will taste the water from two different glasses and then identify which glass he or she thinks contains the tap water. Assuming that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water, what is the probability that at least 8 of the 9 people will correctly identify the tap water?

Answer:

The answer is \frac{1}{256}

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water, then the probability of identifying tap water is 0.5

Thus, P(identify tap water)=0.5

The probability that at least 8 of the 9 people identify the tap water correctly is the sum of the probabilities

  • 8 of 9 people identified correctly or
  • 9 of 9 people identified correctly

Since P(identify tap water)=0.5 each probabilities are the same and equal to

0.5^9 =\frac{1}{512}

So we have 2*\frac{1}{512} = \frac{1}{256}

Answer:

c = 13

m∡A = 60°

m∡B = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 5-12-13 triangle. However, to make sure, I will put the steps.

Allow for each sides to be denoted as a-b-c, in which c is the hypotenuse (longest side). Set the equation:

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

5² + 12² = c²

Simplify. First, solve the exponents, and then add:

(5²) = 5 * 5 = 25

(12²) = 12 * 12 = 144

25 + 144 = c²

c² = 169

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, c, by rooting both sides:

√c² = √169

c = √169 = √(13 * 13) = 13

c = 13

13 is your answer for c.

Note the measurements of the angles. We know that this is a 30-60-90 triangle, and so it will be easy to figure it out. Note that the corresponding angles will depend on that of the opposite side's measurement lengths. The hypotenuse will always be on the opposite side of the largest angle (as given), as c, the longest side, is opposite of ∡C, which is the largest angle (90°). Based on this information, it means that ∡A would be 60° (as it is opposite of the middle number, 12), and ∡B would be 30° (opposite of the smallest number, 5).

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to multiply the top equation by 3 then the x value for the first equation would be 6 and since the bottom equation's x value is -6, if you were to add them, they would cancel eachother off.

LOL hope this makes sense :) Please give brainliest!! Thanks!!
