The probability of the car encountering it's first red light on the third day, i.e., P(Y = 3) will be 0.1479

According to the question,

we have to calculate the probability of the car encountering it's first red light on the third day, i.e., P(Y = 3)

Here,

Probability of encountering a Red light = 0.35, since traffic light at the intersection is red 35% of the time.

And Y is the number of days that pass up to and including the first time the car encounters a red light, i.e.,

The distribution here is a geometric one, where

P(Y = 3)

= P(Not red light in initial 2 lights) x P(red light in third light)

= [(1 - 0.35)² X 0.35]

= 0.1479

so, the probability of the car encountering it's first red light on the third day, i.e., P(Y = 3) will be 0.1479.

Note:

Answer: The length of a side of a regular pentagon can be found using the formula, side = 2r * sin(π/5), where r is the radius of the circle that the pentagon is inscribed in. Using this formula, the length of a side of the pentagon is approximately 4.08 cm or 40.8 mm (rounded to the nearest mm).

The length of median A is 11.7.

The point of intersection of a triangle's medians is its centroid (the lines joining each vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side).

If the triangle has its vertices as   (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2) , \: (x_3, y_3), then the coordinates of the centroid of that triangle is given by:

[tex](x,y) = \left( \dfrac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} + \dfrac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} \right)[/tex]

The range of the values of x is 7<x<2.

In the given quadrilateral we can see that 2 of its sides are equal and the diagonal of the quadrilateral divides the quadrilateral into 2 triangles.

we can label the diagonal as "b" and the equal sides as "a".

when we apply the cosine law on the upper triangle, we get,

(2x-4)² = a² + b² - 2abcos45°

=(2x-4)² = a² + b² - 2ab×1/√2

=(2x-4)² = a² + b² - √2ab

Similarly, applying the cosine law on the lower triangle,

10² = a² + b² - 2abcos60°

= 10² = a² + b² - 2ab×1/2

= 10² = a² + b² - ab

we can clearly see from the above 2 equations formed by applying cosine law to the triangles that,

(2x-4)²<10²

2x-4<10

2x<14

x<7

and we know that 2x-4 has to be positive So,

After solving, total 360 different executive boards can there be.

In the specified office have one member of the executive board is the president, another is the vice president, a third is the secretary, and the last one the treasurer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor of figure A to fig B is 1 : 4

A scale factor is defined as the ratio between the scale of a given original object and a new object, which is its representation but of a different size (bigger or smaller).

Figure A is the small triangle and figure B is the small triangle.

The ratio of the corresponding lengths of the triangles must give thesame value.

scale factor = original length/ new length

scale factor = 14/56 = 1/4 = 1 : 4

also , 16/64 = 1/4 = 1:4

7/28 = 1/4 = 1:4

therefore since the ratio of all the sides are equal, the scale factor of figure A to fig B is 1:4

A line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/3x + 7 has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -1/3 which is 3.

We know that the line intersects the point (4,2), so we can use this point and the slope to write the equation of the line in point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) is the point the line passes through, m is the slope, and y and x are the coordinates of any point on the line.

So the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = −1/3x + 7 and intersects the point (4,2) is:

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

Simplifying this, we get

y = 3x - 2

To convert this to the slope-intercept form we can rewrite it as

y = 3x + b

Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = −1/3x + 7 and intersects the point (4,2) is y = 3x - 2

The solution of the system of linear equations is :-

x = 6 hours .

y = 330 miles.

Now, According to the question:

Let x be the number of hours that have elapsed since Zac started traveling .

Let y be the number of miles traveled .

We know that,

Speed = Distance / Time.

so,

Speed of Zac = D / T = 123.75 / 2.25 = 55 miles / hour.

Speed of Lynn = D / T = 105 / 1.75 = 60 miles / hour.

then, Distance travelled by Zac in x hours = S * T

y = 55 × x

y = 55x miles

and, Distance travelled by Lynn in (x - 0.5) hours = S * T

y = 60 × (x - 0.5)

y = 60x - 30

Therefore, a system of linear equations that represents the distance each of them has traveled since Zac left on his trip are :-

y = 55x ----------- Eqn.(1)

y = 60x - 30 ------------- Eqn.(2)

Now, putting value of Eqn.(1) in Eqn.(2) , we get,

55x = 60x - 30

60x - 55x = 30

5x = 30

x = 6 hours.

Putting value of x in Eqn.(1),

y = 55 * 6

y = 330 miles.

Hence, the solution of the system of linear equations is :-

x = 6 hours .

y = 330 miles.

The area of the irregular figure is 65.12 cm².

We know that a shape is said to be irregular if the shape does not fit into any of the known patterns of shape that we have. In this case, we have a kind of shape that is made up of the rectangle and the semi circle.

We know that we can be able to obtain that area of the rectangle by the use of the formula;

A = l * w

A = area

l = length

w = width

We then have;

A = 8 cm * 5 cm

The population growth rate can be calculated using the equation x = x₀ (1+r)ⁿ. The population after 8 years will be 66 frogs.

The population growth is the increase in population after the specified number of years. Lets look into the data which is given.

The initial population is 6 tree frogs.

Population growth percent = 35%    

Rate of growth, r = 35/100 = .35

The population growth is calculated using the equation,  x = x₀ (1+r)ⁿ

     x₀ is  initial population

Let us assume that the unit price of spring water be 'm' and the unit price of freshwater be 'n'.

By unitary method the unit price of spring water would be,

m = 1.76/16

m = 0.11

This means,  1 ounce bottle of spring water is $0.11

Step-by-step explanation:

So we already know that there were initially 1.9 gallons. We have to add 14.11 gallons of fuel to the starting amount.

14.11 + 1.9 = 16.01 gallons

I hope this was able to help you :D

To find out how much fuel is in Leila's car now, we need to add the amount of fuel she just put in to the amount that was already in the car.

Leila put 14.11 gallons of fuel in the car and there were 1.9 gallons in the car to begin with.

So, 14.11 gallons + 1.9 gallons = 16.01 gallons

This is the correct answer because 14.11 gallons is the fuel Leila put into her car and 1.9 gallons is the fuel that was already in the car. Adding these two values together gives the total amount of fuel in the car now, which is 16.01 gallons.

The line that is parallel to y = 1/5x + 4, is A. 5 y - x = 6.

Parallel lines are any two or more lines that all lie in the same plane and never cross one another. They are equally spaced apart and have the same incline. No matter how far we extend a parallel line, it will never meet another parallel line.

As mentioned parallel lines will have the same slope so the line that is parallel to y = 1/5x + 4 would have the same slope of 1 / 5.

Converting the first option to slope intercept form gives:

5 y - x = 6

5 y = 6 + x

y = 6 / 5 + x / 5
