Option B: TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Option C: The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Explanation:

Given that the circle is inscribed in triangle PRT. Points Q, S, and U of the circle are on the sides of the triangle. Point Q is on side P R, point S is on side R T, and point U is on side P T.

The length of RS is 5, the length of PU is 8 and the length of UT is 6.

Option A: The perimeter of the triangle is 19 units.

The perimeter of the triangle is given by

Perimeter of ΔPRT = PU + UT + TS + SR + RQ + QP

Since, P, T and R are tangents to the circle and we know that "Tangents to a circle drawn to a point outside the circle are equal in length".

Thus, we have,

RS = RQ = 5

PU = PQ = 8 and

UT = TS = 6

Substituting the values in the perimeter of ΔPRT, we get,

Perimeter of ΔPRT = 8 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 8 =38 units

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 38 units.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B : TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Since, P, T and R are tangents to the circle and we know that "Tangents to a circle drawn to a point outside the circle are equal in length".

Then TU $\cong$ TS PU $\cong$ TU

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: The length of line segment PR is 13 units.

The length of PR is given by

PR = PQ + QR

Substituting the values RQ = 5 and PQ = 8, we get,

PR = 5 + 8 = 13 units

Thus, the length of line segment PR is 13 units.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: The length of line segment TR is 10 units.

The length of TR is given by

TR = TS + SR

Substituting the values TS = 6 and SR = 5, we get,

TR = 6 + 5 = 11 units

Thus, the length of line segment TR is 11 units

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

General Hospital has noted that they admit an average of 9 patients per hour.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

(a) The probability that during the next hour less than 3 patients will be admitted is 0.00623.

(b) The probability that during the next two hours exactly 8 patients will be admitted is 0.00416.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is:</u> General Hospital has noted that they admit an average of 8 patients per hour.

(a) What is the probability that during the next hour less than 3 patients will be admitted?

(b) What is the probability that during the next two hours exactly 8 patients will be admitted?

The above situation can be represented through Poisson distribution as it includes the arrival rate of the pattern. So, the probability distribution of the Poisson distribution is given by;

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \times \lambda^{x} }{x!} ; x = 0,1,2,......

Here X = Number of patients admitted in the hospital

         \lambda = arrival rate of patients per hour = 9 patients

So, X ~ Poisson(\lambda = 9)

(a) The probability that during the next hour less than 3 patients will be admitted is given by = P(X < 3)

    P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

                  = \frac{e^{-9} \times 9^{0} }{0!} + \frac{e^{-9} \times 9^{1} }{1!} + \frac{e^{-9} \times 9^{2} }{2!}

                  = e^{-9}  +(e^{-9} \times 9)+ \frac{e^{-9} \times 81}{2}

                  = <u>0.00623</u>

(b) Here, \lambda = 9 \times 2 = 18 because we have to find the probability for the next two hours and we are given in the question of per hour.

So, X ~ Poisson(\lambda = 18)

Now, the probability that during the next two hours exactly 8 patients will be admitted is given by = P(X = 8)

    P(X = 8) =  \frac{e^{-18} \times 18^{8} }{8!}

                  = <u>0.00416</u>

In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard dev
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

0.3114

Option d is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the time spent on a treadmill in the health club

Given that  research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 42.5 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 5.4 minutes

Also given that X is normal

the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.

= P(30

round off to two decimals tog et

the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill is 0.31

Hence option d is right

A backpack costs $18 and has a 7 percent tax. How much will Sheila have to pay for the BBC avkpack after tax
gayaneshka [121]
Price before tax = $18

Tax = 7% x $18 = 0.07 x 18 = $1.26

Price after tax = $18 + $1.26 = $19.26

Answer: $19.26
