X= -2/5

SOLUTION
25x^2 + 20x + 4 = 0
(5x + 2)^2 = 0
5x + 2 = 0
x= -2/5

Hope this helps! :))

Please help me find x and y. Give a real answer that is correct.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answers:

x = 5/2 = 2.5

y = 10

============================================

Explanation:

Focus on the smallest triangle and the medium sized triangle. We can form the proportion 2/4 = x/5 by dividing the corresponding sides together.

Solving for x leads us to the following

2/4 = x/5

2*5 = 4*x

10 = 4x

4x = 10

x = 10/4

x = 5/2

x = 2.5

-----------------

Now focus on the medium sized triangle and the largest triangle. We'll use the same idea as before

4/8 = 5/y

4y = 8*5

4y = 40

y = 40/4

y = 10

Note how each horizontal line is a midsegment, which means that jumping from y = 10 to 5 is us taking half of that value. Then going from 5 to x = 5/2 = 2.5 is another step of cutting in half.

Approximately 26% of all pipework failures in chemical plants are caused by operator error. What is the probability that out of

alex41 [277]

Answer:

1.17% probability that out of the next 30 pipework failures, at least 14 are due to operator error.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each pipework failure in chemical plants, there are only two possible outcomes. EIther it is caused by operator error, or it is not. For each failure, the probability of it being caused by operator failure is independent from other failures. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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.

Approximately 26% of all pipework failures in chemical plants are caused by operator error.

This means that $p = 0.26$

What is the probability that out of the next 30 pipework failures, at least 14 are due to operator error

This is $P(X \geq 14)$ when $n = 30$

Using a binomial probability calculator, we have that

$P(X \geq 14) = 0.0117$

1.17% probability that out of the next 30 pipework failures, at least 14 are due to operator error.
