<h2><em>ANSWER </em><em>BELOW:</em><em>-</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability describes how likely an event is to occur. We know that a coin is equally likely to land heads or tails, so the theoretical probability of getting heads is 1/2. Experimental probability describes how frequently an event actually occurred in an experiment.

EXAMPLE-

Theoretical probability:

For instance, since a flipped coin has two sides and each side is equally likely to land up, the theoretical probability of landing heads (or tails) is exactly 1 out of 2.

Experimental probability:-

For example, the probability of getting a head if you flip a coin is ½, since only 2 things could happen (a head or a tail) and each one has an equal chance of occurring.

mark me as brainliest if possible. :)

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: D. This variable is a discrete numerical variable that is ratio-scaled.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Discrete variables are variables which are countable in a finite amount of time. For example, you can count the amount of money in your bank wallet, but same can’t be said for the money you have deposited in eveyones bank account as this is infinite.

So the number of times an individual changes job in a five years period is a perfect example of a discrete numerical variable that is ratio scaled because it can be counted.

Please help me to get correct answer

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

1. Because a right angle is 90 degrees, the answer to this is 90 - 65 = 25.

2. This question is similar to the last one, but this time the angle is 180 degrees total, so the answer is 180 - 55 = 125.

3. I'm fairly certain the lines here indicate that all three angles are the same. If all three angles make 180 degrees, the answer would be 180 / 3 = 60.

4. This is the same as in question 2. 180 - 135 = 45.

5. Again, because all three angles need to make up 180 degrees, we can just simply do 180 - (65 + 45) = 70.

6. With a quadrilateral, the angles add up to 360 degrees. We can do the same thing as in question 5 here. 360 - (70 + 95 + 55) = 140.

7. I don't remember exactly how to solve this but 55 degrees is correct because 55 + 55 + 70 = 180 which is the only possible value.

I haven't done this kind of stuff in a looooong time so I hope this suffices! :)

A boat is spotted in the water with an angle of depression of 25° from the top of a lighthouse that is 89 feet tall. To the near

stepan [7]

To calculate this you need to imagine triangle which points are:
boat
Top of lighthouse
Bottom of lighthouse

That triangle has 90 degrees angle at bottom of lighthouse. That means that we can use trigonometry to determine length between boat and bottom of lighthouse

tan(25) = 89/x
x = 89/tan(25)
x = 190.86

after rounding, the answer is D, 191 feet

Write an equation in standard form of the line passing through the points (12, 3) and (-3, 8).

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

x + 3y = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x_{1},y_{1})=(12,3) \\\\(x_{2},y_{2})=(-3,8)\\\\Slope= \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\= \dfrac{8-3}{-3-12}= \dfrac{5}{-15}\\\\= \dfrac{-1}{3}$

Equation of the line: y =mx+ b

$y = \dfrac{-1}{3}x+b\\\\\\Plugin \ x = 12 \ and \ y=3 \ in \ the \ above \ equation\\\\3= \dfrac{-1}{3}*12+b\\\\3= -4+b\\\\3+4 = b\\\\b = 7\\\\\\\y= \dfrac{-1}{3}x+7\\\\$

Multiply the equation by 3

3y = -x + 21

x + 3y = 21
