Answer: The probability that his friend doesn't make a shot until his 5 th attempt is 0.00128.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of making his shot = 80%

Probability of missing his shot = 20%

We need to find the probability that his friend doesn't make a shot until his 5th attempt.

So, our required probability would be

(0.20)^4(0.8)\\\\=0.00128

Hence, the probability that his friend doesn't make a shot until his 5 th attempt is 0.00128.

Which values represent the dependent variable? (2,3) (2,-2) (-4,-2) (-2,2) A. {–4, –2, 2} B. {–4, 2, 3} C. {–4, –2, 3} D. {–2, 2
igomit [66]

The dependent variable is the output of a function, which would be the Y value.


In the given set: (2,3) (2,-2) (-4,-2) (-2,2), the Y value is the 2nd number inside each pair of parenthesis.


The answer would be D. {–2, 2, 3}

How many weeks of flea treatment would Jim’s dog get from one package if each treatment only lasted 3 weeks In a normal year whe
4vir4ik [10]

Solution

Number of weeks in a year = 52 weeks

If in a normal year when each package of flea treatment lasts for 4 weeks, then in a year there Jim's dog will have to be treated for

\frac{52}{4} =13 times

Where as, when the fleas are bad in a year, the treatment lasts for only 3 weeks.

Then in a year Jim's dog would get

\frac{52}{3} =17 times


So Jim's dog will get 17- 13 =4 treatments more.

4 treatments that are made in 3 weeks each will be 4×3 =12 weeks more treatment

the diameter of a football is five times the diameter of a cricket ball ratio of surface area of football and cricket ball is​
LenKa [72]

Answer:

25 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the football is 5 times the diameter of the cricket ball. This means that the radius of the football is also 5 times the radius of the cricket ball.

Let the radius of the football be R.

Let the radius of the cricket ball be r.

This implies that:

R = 5r

Both balls are spherical.

The surface area of the cricket ball is given as:

a = 4\pi r^2

The surface area of the football is given as:

A = 4\pi R^2

=>A = 4\pi (5r)^2\\\\A = 100\pi r^2

Therefore, the ratio of their surface areas is:

A : a

100\pi r^2 : 4\pi r^2

= 100 : 4

25 : 1
