Can you bisect an angle using only a compass and a straight edge

Mathematics

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

bisect = dividing it into two equal parts

if you were to line the angle up with the north (or really any line of the compass), you could find the center (you could find where two lines [the same distance from north] are on equal sides of north, or you could just find the center of the angle from sight)

and with the straight edge, you could easily divide the angle into two equal halves

In a study of brand recognition, 795 consumers knew of Amazon, and 10 did not. Use these results to estimate the probability tha

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected consumer will recognize Amazon is 0.988.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given in the question is

Total number of consumers = 795 + 10 = 805

Consumers who knew of Amazon = 795

Consumers who did not know of Amazon = 10

The formula for calculating probability of an event A is:

P(A) = No. of favourable outcomes/Total no. of possible outcomes

P(Recognize Amazon) = No. of Consumers who knew Amazon/Total no. of consumers

P(Recognize Amazon) = 795/805

= 0.98757

P(Recognize Amazon) ≅ 0.988

The probability that a randomly selected consumer will recognize Amazon is 0.988.

Find the HCF of 168 and 196.

yan [13]

Answer:

The HCF of 168 & 196 is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of 168 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56, 84, 168

The factors of 196 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 49, 98, 196

The highest factor that both 168 and 196 share is 28

Hope this helps :D

Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. They find that the surface temperature at one location is 40° Celsi

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

T(h) = 20 - 3h

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that for every km you go up, the temp goes down 3°.

Let's say you go up 1km, then the temp should be 17°. We can easily represent it by the equation: T(h) = 20 - 3h

If we go up 1km: T(1) = 20 - 3*(1) = 20 - 3 = 17°

If we go up 2km: T(2) = 20 - 3*(2) = 20 - 6 = 14°

If we go up 3km: T(3) = 20 - 3*(3) = 20 - 9 = 11°

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and tes

Pavel [41]

Answer:

0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shipment has a ton of aspirin tablets, we can assume that we pick 13 of them with reposition, because the probability shoudn't change dramatically from the probability of picking without reposition if we do so.

We call D the amount of defective tablets. If we assume that we pick the tablets with reposition, then we obtain that D is a random variable of Binomial distribution with parameters 13 and 0.6 (the probability of picking a defective tablet).

We want D to be at most one. To calculate the probability of that event we add up the probability of D being equal to 0 and the probability of D being equal to one. Since D is binomial, we have

$P(D = 0) = (1-0.06)^{13} = 0.447$
$P(D = 1) = {13 \choose 1} * 0.06^1 * (1-0.06)^{12} = 13*0.06*0.94^{12} = 0.371$

We conclude that

$P(D \leq 1) = P(D = 0) + P(D = 1) = 0.447+0.371 = 0.818$

Hence, the shipment will be accepted with probability 0.818

I hope this helps you!
