Answer:

Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is 0.0408.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a recent survey, 60% of the community favored building a health center in their neighborhood.

Also, 14 citizens are chosen.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 14 citizens

         r = number of success = exactly 5

        p = probability of success which in our question is % of the community

              favored building a health center in their neighborhood, i.e; 60%

<em>LET X = Number of citizens who favored building of the health center.</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=14, p=0.60)

Now, Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is given by = P(X = 5)

        P(X = 5) = \binom{14}{5} \times 0.60^{5} \times (1-0.60)^{14-5}

                      = 2002 \times 0.60^{5} \times 0.40^{9}

                      = 0.0408

Therefore, Probability that exactly 5 of them favor the building of the health center is 0.0408.

Given: EFGH inscribed in k(O) m∠FHE = 45°, m∠EGH = 49° Find: m∠FEH
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

m

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The inscribed angle measures half that of the arc comprising

step 1

Find the measure of arc EF

m

we have

m

substitute

45\°=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ EF)

arc\ EF=90\°

step 2

Find the measure of arc EH

m

we have

m

substitute

49\°=\frac{1}{2}(arc\ EH)

arc\ EH=98\°

step 3

Find the measure of arc FGH

arc\ FGH=360\°-(arc\ EH+arc\ EF)

substitute the values

arc\ FGH=360\°-(98\°+90\°)

arc\ FGH=172\°

step 4

Find the measure of angle FEH

m

we have

arc\ FGH=172\°

substitute

m

3. The area of a rectangular deck, in square meters, is given by the polynomial 40p2 + 24p.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Length = 5p + 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 40p² + 24p

Width = 8p

Solving for the length of deck

Given that the deck is rectangular in shape.

The area will be calculated as thus;

Area = Length * Width

Substitute 40p² + 24p and 8p for Area and Width respectively

The formula becomes

40p² + 24p = Length * 8p

Factorize both sides

p(40p + 24) = Length * 8 * p

Divide both sides by P

40p + 24 = Length * 8

Factorize both sides, again

8(5p + 3) = Length * 8

Multiply both sides by ⅛

⅛ * 8(5p + 3) = Length * 8 * ⅛

5p + 3 = Length

Length = 5p + 3

Solving for the perimeter of the deck

The perimeter of the deck is calculated as thus

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Substitute 5p + 3 and 8p for Length and Width, respectively.

Perimeter = 2(5p + 3 + 8p)

Perimeter = 2(5p + 8p + 3)

Perimeter = 2(13p + 3)

Open bracket

Perimeter = 2 * 13p + 2 * 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Therefore the expression is option A)

2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Statement as ' 8 less than two times X'

To Find :

Expression for the statement

'8 less than two times X'

Solution:

Two\ times\ 'x'\ means=2\times x

Now 8 less than two times X  means Subtract 8 from '2x'

2x-8

Therefore the expression is option A)

2x-8
