Answer:

angle: 44°

complementary angle: 46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles have a sum of 90°. We can use this relation and the one given to write equations for the angles of interest.

<h3>setup</h3>

Let 'a' and 'c' represent the angle and its complement, respectively.

a = c -2 . . . . . an angle is 2° less than its complement

a +c = 90 . . . . complementary angles total 90°

<h3>solution</h3>

Using the first equation to substitute for 'a' in the second, we have ...

(c -2) +c = 90

2c = 92 . . . . . . add 2, collect terms

c = 46 . . . . . . . divide by 2

a = 46 -2 = 44 . . . . find 'a' using the first equation

The angle is 44°; its complement is 46°.

Someone answer this please it's for edguniety

KengaRu [80]

D = 171 - (61+53) = 171 -124 = 47
E = 171 - 90 = 81
A = 81 - (34+24) = 81 - 58 = 23
B = 61 - 23 = 38
C = 90 - (33+ 38) = 90 - 71 = 19

answer is B.

The speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 7 miles per hour

True [87]

Answer: $(56.03\ ,63.97)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway are normally distributed .

Standard deviation: $\sigma: 7$

Since , sample size : $n=20$ , which is small sample (n<30) so the test applied here is a t-test.

Degree of freedom= $n-1=20-1=19$

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=60$

Level of significance : $1-\alpha:0.98$

Then , significance level : $\alpha: 1-0.98=0.02$

Using t-distribution table , Critical value : $\text{t-score}=t_{n-1, \alpha/2}= 2.539483$

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$60\pm( 2.539483)\dfrac{7}{\sqrt{20}}\approx60\pm3.97=(56.03\ ,63.97)$

Hence, a 98% confidence interval for the population mean= $(56.03\ ,63.97)$
