You are stuck at the Vince Lombardi rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike with a dead battery. To get on the road again, you need to find someone with jumper cables that connect the batteries of two cars together so you can start your car again. Suppose that 16% of drivers in New Jersey carry jumper cables in their trunk. You begin to ask random people getting out of their cars if they have jumper cables. Use Scenario 6-17. On average, how many people do you expect you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables

The expected number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables is 6.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case the first scenario follows.

X = number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables.

p = 0.16

Compute the expected number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables as follows:

Thus, the expected number of people you will have to ask before you find someone with jumper cables is 6.25.

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
