He found early methods to make quick money and also discovered probability.  His work was ground-breaking, though not always correct.  One of his card equations showed a 2/3 chance of winning, but actually only gave 1/5th!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  Please have a look at the attached photo.

<em>Lacey's mom makes her a birthday cake in the shape of an "L" . Lacey loves frosting, so her mom covers the entire outside of the cake in frosting, even the bottom of the cake. </em>

<em>How much space does Lacey's mom cover in frosting? </em>

My answer:

As we know that the surface area of the the cake is made up of rectangles. The formula for find the area of a rectangle is A = lw

  • The area of rectangle ABCD: 4*2 = 8
  • The area of rectangle ADFE : 12*2 = 24
  • The area of rectangle TJVS : 4*2 = 8
  • The area of rectangle ESFV :9*2 = 18
  • The area of rectangle HTJG: 5*2 = 10
  • The area of rectangle CBHG: 2*8 = 16

The area of CDEVGJ = ABHTFS

= 4*12 + 4*5

= 68

So the total area is: 68 +68  +16+10+18+8+24+8 = 220

Hope it will find you well

Suppose we have a group of 10 light users and 10 heavy users. what is the probability that exactly 3 of the 20 users are hiv pos
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The answer is 30%.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a group of 10 light users and 10 heavy users. We are to find the probability that exactly 3 of the 20 users are HIV positive.

We have the following four possible cases -

(i) All 3 are light users.

(ii) 1 is a light user and 2 are heavy users.

(iii) 2 are light users and 1 is a heavy user.

(iv) All 3 are heavy user.

Since there is a 45% chance of a light user to be HIV positive and 55% chance of a heavy user to be HIV positive, so the required probability is given by

p\\\\=\dfrac{3\times 0.45+1\times 0.45+2\times 0.55+2\times 0.45+1\times 0.55+3\times 0.55}{20}\\\\=\dfrac{6}{20}\\\\=0.3\\\\=30\%.

Thus, the probability is 30.

The diagram shows a circle inside a square.<br> a O<br> 16 cm<br> Work out the area of the circle.
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

perimeter of circle=2πr

16=2πr

r=16/2π=8/πcm

now.

area of circle=πr²=π(8/π)²=π×64/π²=64/(22/7)=64×7/22=20.36cm²
