Use the pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c²

a² + 63² = 65²

a² + 3969 = 4225

a² = 256

a = 16

x = 16 meters

In a genetic experiment involving flower color in phlox, a ratio of 3 blue-flowered plants to 1 whiteflowered plant was expected

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Expected ratio :

Ratio of blue flowered plants to white flowered plant = 3:1

Observed results:

Number of blue flowered plants = 35

Number of white flowered plants = 14

So, Ratio of blue flowered plants : white flowered plants

$35:14\\\\=5:2$

So, 5:2 ≠ 3:1

Hence, the observed ratio is different from the expected ratio.

Use the Side-Splitter Theorem to find x, given that PQ||BC . The figure is not drawn to scale.

MrRa [10]

Answer: x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Accoding to the Side-Splitter Theorem, if a line interesect two sides of the triangle and it is parallel to the third side, then the other two sides are divided by the line proportionally.

2. Then, you can form the following proportion:

$\frac{PA}{BP}=\frac{QA}{CQ}$

3. Substitute values and solve for x:

$\frac{8}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\18*8=12x\\x=12$

Roll a number cube. If the number cube comes up odd, you win the same number of points as the number on the cube. If the number

laila [671]

Answer:

–0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value is found by multiplying the probabilities of each roll by the amount won or lost with each roll.

The odd rolls are 1, 3 and 5. The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, and the value is 1; this gives us 1/6(1) = 1/6.

The probability of rolling a 3 is 1/6, and the value is 3; this gives us 1/6(3) = 3/6.

The probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6, and the value is 5; this gives us 1/6(5) = 5/6.

Rolling any even number gives us the same value. The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, and the value is -4; this gives us 3/6(-4) = -12/6.

Together we have

1/6+3/6+5/6-12/6 = 4/6+5/6-12/6 = 9/6-12/6 = -3/6 = -0.5
