Answer:

2/45

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a banana is picked for the first one is:

1/10

because there are 10 fruits and one of them is a banana,

Then, the second piece has to be a pear.

For this we have already picked one fruit out of the bag, which leaves 9 fruits in the bag.

There are 4 pears so the probability of picking a pear second is

4/9

To find the probability of a banana and then a pear, you want to multiply these values together

So:

1/10 x 4/9 = 4/90 = 2/45

So the probability is 2/45

The lines y1 = 2x - 6, y2 = -3x + 4, y3 = -1/2x + 4 intersect to form the sides of a right triangle. Find the perimeter and area

tino4ka555 [31]

The area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

<h3>Determining the perimeter and area of the triangle giving line equation</h3>

In order to determine the area and perimeter of the lines, we will plot the giving lines, determine the point of intersection and then use the Pythagoras theorem to determine the dimension of the right triangle.

The points of intersection of the line are;

(x₁, y₁) = (- 0.4, 5.2),

(x₂, y₂) = (-0.8, 4.4),

(x₃, y₃) = (0, 4)

Determine the base

b² = c² -a²

b = √(-0.8)² + (4 - 4.4)²

b = 2√5 / 5

Determine the height

h = √((- 0.4) - (- 0.8))² + (5.2 - 4.4)²

height = 2√5 / 5

For the hypotenuse

r = √2 · b

r = 2√10 / 5

<h3>Determine the Perimeter and area</h3>

Perimeter = s1+s2+s3

Perimeter = 2√5 / 5 + 2√5 / 5 + 2√10 / 5

Perimeter = (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

area = 1/2* base * height

A = 0.5 · (2√5 / 5) · (2√5 / 5)

A = 2/5 square units

Hence the area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

Let X be the temperature in at which a certain chemical reaction takes place, and let Y be the temperature in (so Y = 1.8X + 32)

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

The random variable, Y be the temperature of chemical reaction in degree fahrenheit be a linear expression of a random variable X : The temperature in at which a certain chemical reaction takes place.

Y = 1.8*X + 32

- The median of the random variate "X" is given to be equal to "η". We can mathematically express it as:

P ( X ≤ η ) = 0.5

- Then the median of "Y" distribution can be expressed with the help of the relation given:

P ( Y ≤ 1.8*η + 32 )

- The left hand side of the inequality can be replaced by the linear relation:

P ( 1.8*X + 32 ≤ 1.8*η + 32 )

P ( 1.8*X ≤ 1.8*η ) ..... Cancel "1.8" on both sides.

P ( X ≤ η ) = 0.5 ...... Proven

Hence,

- Through conjecture we proved that: (1.8*η + 32) has to be the median of distribution "Y".

- Recall that the definition of proportion (p) of distribution that lie within the 90th percentile. It can be mathematically expressed as the probability of random variate "X" at 90th percentile :

P ( X ≤ p_.9 ) = 0.9 ..... 90th percentile

- Now use the conjecture given as a linear expression random variate "Y",

P ( Y ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 + 32 ) = P ( 1.8*X + 32 ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 + 32 )

= P ( 1.8*X ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 )

= P ( X ≤ p_0.9 )

= 0.9

- So from conjecture we saw that the 90th percentile of "X" distribution is also the 90th percentile of "Y" distribution.

- The more general relation between two random variate "Y" and "X" is given:

Y = aX + b

Where, a : is either a positive or negative constant.

- Denote, (np) as the 100th percentile of the X distribution, so the corresponding 100th percentile of the Y distribution would be : (a*np + b).

- When a is positive,

P ( Y ≤ a*p_% + b ) = P ( a*X + b ≤ a*p_% + b )

= P ( a*X ≤ a*p_% )

= P ( X ≤ p_% )

= np_%

- When a is negative,

P ( Y ≤ a*p_% + b ) = P ( a*X + b ≤ a*p_% + b )

= P ( a*X ≤ a*p_% )

= P ( X ≥ p_% )

= 1 - np_%
