At a gas station, suppose that 45% of the customers purchase premium grade gas. Assume that these customers decide independently

. Find the probability that at least one of the next three customers purchases premium gas. (Hint: Think about the complement.)

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The probability that at least one of the next three customers purchases premium gas is the complement of the probability that none of the next three customers purchase premium gas = 1 - (1-P(A))³ = 0.834

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a customer would purchase premium grade = 45 %

That is P(A) = 0.45 and

The probability that the customer would purchase another  grade = P(B) = 0.55

Therefore the probability of at least one of the next three customers purchase premium gas is

P(k=0) = (1 - P)ⁿ and the probability of at least one customer purchases premium gas is the compliment of the probability that the next three customers purchase another gas brand

that is (1 - P(A))×(1 - P(A))×(1 - P(A)) = P(B)×P(B)×P(B) = 0.55³  and the complement is 1 - 0.55³  = 0.834

Answer:

0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three cases be A, B ,C

P(A U B U C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C)

Probability that one of the customers  purchases premium gas, P(A) = 0.45(1-0.45)(1-0.45)=0.09

Probability that two of the customers  purchases premium gas, P(B) ={0.45) (0.45)(1-0.45)=0.11

Probability that the customers  purchases premium gas, P(C)= (0.45)(0.45)(0.45)=0.09

P(A) + P(B) + P(C) = 0.09+0.09+0.11=0.29

ΔABC is dilated from the origin at a scale factor of 3 to create ΔA′B′C′. Select the option that completes the statement: The tr
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The triangle's corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional therefore, the triangles are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional. The ratio of its corresponding sides is called the scale factor

An dilatation is a transformation that does not modify the internal angles of the figure or the proportion of its measurements.

In this problem ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are similar

therefore

The triangle's corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional therefore, the triangles are similar

What is the value of $x$ if $-\frac23(x-5) = \frac32(x+1)$?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

x = (-29)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (x - 5))/3 = (3 (x + 1))/2

Multiply both sides by 6:

(6×2 (x - 5))/3 = (6×3 (x + 1))/2

6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:

2×2 (x - 5) = (6×3 (x + 1))/2

6/2 = (2×3)/2 = 3:

2×2 (x - 5) = 3×3 (x + 1)

2×2 = 4:

4 (x - 5) = 3×3 (x + 1)

3×3 = 9:

4 (x - 5) = 9 (x + 1)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

4 x - 20 = 9 (x + 1)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

4 x - 20 = 9 x + 9

Subtract 9 x from both sides:

(4 x - 9 x) - 20 = (9 x - 9 x) + 9

4 x - 9 x = -5 x:

-5 x - 20 = (9 x - 9 x) + 9

9 x - 9 x = 0:

-5 x - 20 = 9

Add 20 to both sides:

(20 - 20) - 5 x = 20 + 9

20 - 20 = 0:

-5 x = 9 + 20

9 + 20 = 29:

-5 x = 29

Divide both sides of -5 x = 29 by -5:

(-5 x)/(-5) = 29/(-5)

(-5)/(-5) = 1:

x = 29/(-5)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 29/(-5) by -1:

Answer: x = (-29)/5

Determine whether the sets have a subset relationship. R = {right triangles} O = {obtuse triangles} a) R and O are disjoint. b)
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

f

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angled triangle has one angle equal to 90°

an obtuse angle triangle has one angle greater tan 90°

a) An o and right-angled triangle btuse angled triangle can have one angle equal.

b) R and O are not equivalent by definition

c)  subset of R and Oare not all triangles as R and O are categories of all triangles. R and O are subset of all triangles

d) Acute triangles have all acute angles. So subset of R and O can't be all acute traingles

e) All triangles with two acute angles are may or may not have third angle as obtuse angle or 90° angle

f) none of the above

construct a triangle ABC in which AB is 6 CM , BC is 4.5 cm and AC is 5.9 cm also construct a perpendicular bisector of sides AB
Vaselesa [24]

step by step explanation:

Draw a perpendicular line AB=6cm

Open your compass to a radius of 4.5cm and place it on B to construct an arc

Again open your compass to a radius of 5.9cm and step at A and draw an arc to intersect the first one at C

Open your compass to a reasonable radius and step at A and B to construct an arc

With the same radius step at B and C to construct another arc

Draw a line to bisect the arcs
