Answer:</h2>
The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.
where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.
and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.
Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:
Hence, the answer is:
Answer:
In mathematics, a conic section is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse; the circle is a special case of the ellipse, though historically it was sometimes called a fourth type.
Conic sections are formed on a plane when that plane slices through the edge of one or both of a pair of right circular cones stacked tip to tip.
Answer:
0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
Step-by-step explanation:
The kittens are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:
In which:
x is the number of sucesses.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 10 girl kittens for a cat food commercial.
This means that 
We want 3 boys, so 
The director is going to choose 8 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial.
This means that 
What is the probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens?
This is P(X = 3).
0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
The answer to this question would be: 85/99
In this question, Suzan is taking 8 marble from a bag containing 4 red marbles, 4 green ones, 2 white ones, and 2 purple ones. The total marble in the bag should be: 4+4+2+2= 12. The question is how much the probability to get <4 red marble. In this question, the green, white and purple is not specified so you can join them into not red group. It will be easier to find the probability of "have all the red one" which mean Suzan take 4 red marble and 4 not-red marble<span>
Ways to take 8 marble out of 12=12C5= 12!/4!8!= </span>495
Ways to take 4 red marble out of 4= 4C4= 1
Ways to take 4 not red marble out of 8= 8C4= 8!/4!4!= 70
Probability to <span>have all the red ones= 1*70/495= 14/99
</span>Then the probability does not have all the red ones= 99/99 - 14/99= 85/99
