Answer:

⇛x=8cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

PQRS is a square and PQ = (2x+3) cm

and QR = (3x-5) cm

We know that

All sides are equal in a square .

⇛ PQ = QR = RS = PS

⇛ 2x+3 = 3x-5

⇛ 3+5 = 3x-2x

⇛ 8 = x

⇛ x = 8

Therefore, The value of x = 8 cm.

Answer:

Sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

You might have like 3% sales tax which is 3 percent of the original price added back onto it.

Sales tax is a tax that is put onto wanted and gourmet things, so chocolate isn't a needed item in life, so you have sales tax on it. On something like bread or meat, there might not be sales tax since you need food to survive. If something cost $100, and there is 3% sales tax, you will pay 103 dollars since 0.03 of 100 is 3.

Two athletic teams play a series of games; the first team to win 4 games is declared the overall winner. Suppose that one of the

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

p=0.7103 (4-game series)
p=0.6480 (2-game series)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:

$P(X=4)={{i-1}\choose {4-1}}0.6^40.4^{i-4},\ i=4,5,6,7$

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

$P(X=4)={3\choose 3}0.6^4=0.1296\\\\P(X=5)={4\choose 3}0.6^40.4^1=0.2074\\\\P(X=6)={5\choose 3}0.6^40.4^2=0.2074\\\\P(X=4)={6\choose 3}0.6^40.4^3=0.1659$

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:

$=P(X=4)+P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)\\\\=0.7103$

#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:

$P(Y=2)={1\choose 1}0.6^2=0.3600\\\\P(Y=3)={2\choose3}0.6^20.4=0.2880\\\\P(win)=0.2880+0.3600=0.6480$

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480

The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)

The endpoints of one diagonal of a rhombus are (0, -8) and (8, -4). If the coordinates of the 3 rd vertex are (1, 0), what are t

atroni [7]

You can answer this problem using the midpoint formula, but we can work out the 4th vertex by just logically thinking it through by first drawing out the rhombus on an x-y coordinate plane. I wrote the answer out on paper since it is easier than typing. Let me know if you have any questions.
