s/18=64/288, multiply both sides by 18 yields s=1152/288, thus s=4 ft. Therefore, Sarah's height is four feet.

A credit card contains 16 digits between 0 and 9. However, only 100 million numbers are valid. If a number is entered randomly,
PIT_PIT [9159]

Answer:

P(valid) = 1 * 10^{-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate how many potential credit card numbers can be created using the digits 0 through 9.

We aim to create a number that consists of 16 digits from a total of 10 digits, therefore:

N = 10^{16}

The total count of possible numbers formed is 10^{16}. However, only 100 million of these are valid (100 * 10^6 = 10^8). Let n represent the valid number of combinations.

This leads us to the probability of selecting a valid number:

P(valid) = n / N

P(valid) = 10^{8} / 10^{16}\\\\P(valid) = 1 * 10^{-8}

Lines AB and CD and are parallel. Find the measures of the three angles in triangle ABF.
Svet_ta [9567]

Response:    ∠B = 42°   ∠A = 23°  ∠F = 115°

Detailed explanation:

∠B is congruent to ∠C  alternate interior angles  42°

  ∠CDF is supplementary to ∠CDE,

thus m∠CDF = 23°  and ∠FAB is congruent to ∠CDF therefore m∠FAB= 23°

also ∠A is congruent to ∠CDE  corresponding angles  157° ∠FAB is supplementary to ∠A

which leads to 180 - 157 = 23 giving m∠FAB

The sum of angles in a triangle amounts to 180°, so m∠AFB = 180 -(23 +42)

This results in 180- 65 = 115 = m∠F

A hypothesis regarding the weight of newborn infants at a community hospital is that the mean is 6.6 pounds. A sample of seven i
Inessa [9038]
If we compare the p value to a predetermined significance level \alpha=0.05 we conclude that we cannot reject the null hypothesis, indicating insufficient evidence to assert that the true average is different from 6.6 pounds.

The best conclusion is:

a. Failing to reject the null hypothesis.
