A typical regular hexagon consists of six equilateral triangles.

One of these is ΔAFM, where each angle measures 60°, so ∡AFM = 60°.

ΔABC is classified as an isosceles triangle, possessing an angle of ∡ABC = 120°, as each internal angle in a regular hexagon measures 120°.

Angles ∡BAC and ∡BCA each equal 30°, summing to 180° in total for the triangle.

Moreover, ∡ACF is congruent to ∡BCA = 30°. Therefore, we can deduce that angle ∡FAC equals 90°. The reasoning for this follows.

Best of luck!!!

The correct response is D; we can treat the survey as one involving a single variable, responding with either "yes, I attended more than 4 games" or "no." Given the random survey of 10 students meets the randomization criterion and that their responses are independent, options B and C can be dismissed. However, since only 10 students were surveyed, the confidence interval will not be narrow. As per Statistical Solutions, a minimum of 10 subjects per variable is essential for regression analysis. If the query concerns the number of games each student attended, the potential variables increase; conversely, if it solely asks, “Did you attend more than 4 games?”, then we only consider a single variable, making 10 students sufficient.

5q + 2d = 270
To determine the intercepts, start by setting d to 0, then to find q. The conditions yield:
5q = 270
q = 54; (0, 54)
2d = 270
d = 135; (135, 0)
This equation illustrates the total number of coins in the piggy bank. For (0, 54), this indicates the quantity of quarters when dimes are absent, while (0, 135) displays the number of dimes when there are no quarters.

AnnZ [9099]

Response:

0.16 acres for each sheep

Explanatory steps:

With a total of 40 acres allocated to 250 sheep, you would calculate the area per sheep by dividing the total acres by the sheep count. This can be represented as:

40/250 =....

Axline Computers manufactures personal computers at two plants, one in Texas and the other in Hawaii. The Texas plant has 40 emp

Zina [9171]

Answer:

a) The likelihood that none of the sampled employees are from the Hawaii plant is 1.74%.

b) The chance that exactly 1 employee from the sample is found working in the Hawaii plant is 8.70%.

c) There is an 89.56% chance that 2 or more employees in the sample are from the Hawaii plant.

d) The probability that 9 employees from the sample are working at the Texas plant is 8.70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each employee has two potential employment locations: either Texas or Hawaii. Thus, the binomial probability distribution can be utilized to solve this scenario.

Binomial probability distribution

This distribution defines the probability of achieving exactly x successes in n trials where there are only two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

Here, $C_{n,x}$ denotes the number of ways to choose x objects from a set of n, represented by the subsequent formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of success occurring.

In this context, we know:

The sample comprises 10 employees, therefore $n = 10$ .

a. Calculate the probability that none of the sampled employees are from the Hawaii plant (to 4 decimals)?

Given that 20 out of 60 employees are based in Hawaii:

$p = \frac{20}{60} = 0.333$

We aim to find P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.333)^{0}.(0.667)^{10} = 0.0174$

Thus, the likelihood that none in the sample are from Hawaii stands at 1.74%.

b. Calculate the probability that 1 employee from the sample is from the Hawaii plant?

This is represented as P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.333)^{1}.(0.667)^{9} = 0.0870$

Therefore, there is an 8.70% possibility that 1 employee in the sample comes from Hawaii.

c. Calculate the probability that 2 or more employees in the sample are from the Hawaii plant?

We can observe two scenarios: either fewer than 2 employees are from Hawaii or 2 and beyond. The combined probabilities equal decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

We seek to find $P(X \geq 2)$ .

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

From problems a and b, we possess values for both probabilities.

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0174 + 0.0870 = 0.1044$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.1044 = 0.8956$

Accordingly, the chance that 2 or more employees in this sample operate at the Hawaii plant is 89.56%.

d. Calculate the likelihood that 9 employees in the sample are working at the Texas plant?

This corresponds to the probability found in part b for 1 employee working in Hawaii.

Consequently, there is an 8.70% chance that 9 employees belong to the Texas plant.
