Answer:the original height of the candle is 14.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A Candlestick burns at a rate of 0.2 inches per hour. It means that the height of the candle is decreasing by 2 inches per hour. This decrease is in arithmetic progression. The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

d = - 0.2 (it is decreasing)

n = 8

T8 = 13.4 inches

We want to determine the value of the first term, a. Therefore,

13.4 = a - 0.2(8 - 1)

13.4 = a - 1.4

a = 13.4 + 1.4 = 14.8 inches

Airida [17]

Answer:

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).  </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that in the single trial, we have (8 4) possibilities of choosing our set of balls. If we have chosen two white balls and two black balls, the probability of doing that is simply  

p=(4 2)*(4 2)/(8 4)

This is well know Hyper geometric distribution. Now, define random variable X that marks the number of trials that have been needed to obtain the right combination (two white and two black balls). From the nature of the problem, observe that X has Geometric distribution with parameter p that has been calculated above. Hence  

P(X = n) = (1— p)^n-1 *( p )

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).  </em>

What is m? 49° 77° 98° 161°
Mariana [72]

we know that

The measurement of <u>the external angle</u> is the semi-difference of the arcs it includes.

In this problem

21\°=\frac{1}{2}[arc\ RU-arc\ SU]

Solve for the measure of arc SU

42\°=[arc\ RU-arc\ SU]

arc\ SU=arc\ RU-42\°

arc\ SU=119\°-42\°=77\°

therefore

the answer is

The measure of the arc SU is 77\°
