g E. (i). An oil company conducts a geological study that indicates that an exploratory oil well should have a 20% chance of striking oil. What is the probability that the first strike comes on the third well drilled

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Probability of striking oil = p = 20% = 0.2

Striking occurs on the 3rd well drilled : x = 3

Hence ;

P(x = 3) =?

Using a geometric probability function :

p(x = x) = (1 - p)^(x - 1) * p

P(x = 3) = (1 - 0.2)^(3 - 1) * (0.2)

P(x = 3) = 0.8^2 * 0.2

P(x = 3) = 0.64 * 0.2

P(x = 3) = 0.128

The length of a rectangle is 6 metres more than its breadth. the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 metres . find the length and breadth of the rectangle. ​

Answers

Given :

Length of rectangle is 6m more than breadthPerimeter of rectangle = 60 m

To find :

The Length and the Breadth

Solution :

As it is given that the length of rectangle is 6 m more than the breadth.

Thus, let us consider the Breadth as ''x''.

Then the Length will be ''x+6''.

We know that,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

According to Question,

➠Perimeter of rectangle = 2(x+6+x)

➠60 = 2(x+6+x)

➠60 = 2(x+x+6)

➠60 = 2(2x + 6)

➠60 = 4x + 12

➠60 - 12 = 4x

➠48 = 4x

➠48/4 = x

➠12 = x

______________________

∴ We got the Value of Breadth as 12 m, because we have let the breadth as x.

And the Length of the rectangle will be,

↠x + 6

↠12 + 6

↠18 m

Hence,

Length = 18 mBreadth = 12 m

A bank advertises that they will pay 1.5% simple annual interest on new savings accounts. Lorenzo puts $400 in a new account. If he does not deposit or withdraw any money, how much will he have altogether after one year?

Answers

Answer:

$406

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I=prtI=prt where II is the amount of interest earned, pp is the initial deposit, rr is the annual interest rate, and tt is the number of years.

It is given that he deposits p=$400p=$400, the bank pays r=1.5%= 0.015r=1.5%=0.015 in annual interest, and t=1t=1 year. The amount of interest he will earn is then I=prt=400(0.015)(1)=$6I=prt=400(0.015)(1)=$6.

His total balance after one year will then be p+i=$400+$6=$406p+i=$400+$6=

A tablet that regularly sells for $330 was on sale for 15% off. If Jeremiah paid $302.94 total including tax, what is the sales tax

Answers

Answer:

8% sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

$330 x .15 = $49.50

$330 - $49.50 = $280.50

$302.94 - $280.50 = $22.44

$22.44/$280.50 = .08 x 100 x 8%

Power of term with coefficient of 1

First, we need to identify the variable in the given polynomial

The variable is x

Each term has the following format:

[tex]mx^n[/tex]  where [tex]n \ge 0[/tex] and m is the coefficient

In this case, we are to look for n where m = 1

Looking at each term of the polynomial, we have the following match:

[tex]mx^n = x^3[/tex]

Substitute 1 for m

[tex]1 * x^n = x^3[/tex]

[tex]x^n = x^3[/tex]

By comparison:

What's the ratio equivalent to 15 to 60.

Answers

Answer:

1:4

Step-by-step explanation:you can simplify the ratio by finding the LCM on both sides and dividing the number by the lcm in which this case is 15.

15/15=1

60/15=4

so 1:4

The answer to the question is 1:4

Step-by-Step explanation:

We have to divide each number over here by the LCF of 15.

The LCF (Least Common Factor) of 15 is 5.

Given the LCF of 15 is 15, we will divide both given numbers by 15.

[tex]\text {60 / 15 = 4 and 15 / 15 = 1}[/tex]

We will put the numbers back in order from least to greatest.

The ratio we find is 1:4, and the answer to your question is 1:4.

y=-|x+3| domain and range

Answers

Answer:

the domain is that x is a set of real numbers.

the range is y ≤ -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -|x + 3|

y is either positive or equal to zero.

Now, x is all real numbers because any value of x used will yield a valid value of y.

Thus, we can say that the domain is that x is a set of real numbers.

Now, for the range:

The minus sign in front of the absolute value indicates that the function has a maximum value.

Thus, the range is y ≤ -3

The ground temperature at an airport is 11 °C. The temperature decreases by 6.4 °C for every increase of 1 kilometer above the ground. What is the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers?

Answers

Answer:

-21°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane is flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers, then we have to multiply 6.4 by each kilometer that the plane's altitude increased (5). After that, we will end up with 32°C that we have to subtract from the ground temperature of 11°C. Once we do that, we get -21°C which means that the temperature at an altitude of 5 kilometers is -21°C.

An insurance company receives nine claims per week, on average. Use this information to answer the next two questions. What is the probability that exactly 7 claims will be received in one week

Answers

Answer:

P(X = 7) = 0.11712

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

Average no. of claims received per week λ = 9

The required probability that exactly 7 claims will be received is determined by applying the Poisson distribution formula:

[tex]P(X=x) = \dfrac{\lambda ^x e^{-\lambda}}{x!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=7) = \dfrac{9 ^7 e^{-9}}{7!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=7) = \dfrac{4782969 \times1.23409804 \times 10^{-4}}{5040}[/tex]

[tex]P(X=7) = \dfrac{590.2652672}{5040}[/tex]

P(X = 7) = 0.11712

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right angled triangle , one vertex angle is 60° . The other vertex angle will be = 180 - (90+60) = 30°

Hypotenuse = m ; Perpendicular = n ; Base = 4

Side opposite to 60° = Base

Side adjacent to 60° = Perpendicular

Side opposite to 30° = Perpendicular

Side adjacent to 30° = Base

So,

[tex] \sin(60) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{4}{m} [/tex]

[tex] = > \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{4}{m} [/tex]

[tex] = > m = \frac{4 \times 2}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{8}{ \sqrt{3} } [/tex]

Rationalising the value of m gives [tex] \frac{8 \sqrt{3} }{3} [/tex]

Also,

[tex] \tan(30) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{n}{4} [/tex]

[tex] = > \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{n}{4} [/tex]

[tex] = > n = \frac{4}{ \sqrt{3} } [/tex]

Rationalising the value of n gives [tex] \frac{4 \sqrt{3} }{3} [/tex]

Margaret is completing a lifeguard course and is completing the test at the end of the
course. There are 75 total questions that she needs to complete and she is 36% complete.
How many more cuestions does she need to complete
Q

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For your first question,

Total percentage of people cheering for visiting team = 45%

Total percentage of people cheering for home team = 55%

Total number of people cheering = 1200

Therefore, the number of people cheering for visiting team = 45% of 1200

                                                                                                   = [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex] × 1200

                                                                                                   = 45 × 12

                                                                                                    = 540 people

For your second question,

Total number of questions = 75

Total percentage of the number of questions he completed = 36%

Percentage of the amount of questions left = 100 - 36 = 64%

Therefore, the number of questions left to complete = 64% of 75

                                                                                 = [tex]\frac{64}{100}[/tex] × 75

                                                                                 = [tex]\frac{64}{20}[/tex]  × 15

                                                                                 = [tex]\frac{64}{4}[/tex] × 3

                                                                                 = 16 × 3

                                                                                 = 48 questions are left
