Answer:

  it saves 2.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the sum of products of possibilities and the probability of each.

Here, you have a probability of 0.9 of saving 5 minutes, and a probability of 0.1 of adding 20 minutes.

__

The expected value of the shortcut is ...

  0.9(-5) +0.1(20) = -4.5 +2.0 = -2.5

The shortcut is expected to save 2.5 minutes on average.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The probability of 0.9 comes from the 9 of 10 trips that result in a time saving.

If the sin of angle x is 4 over 5 and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original, what would be the value o
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Sin of x does not change

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a triangle is dilated, the angle remains the same as well as the ratio for sides of triangle. For smshapes with dimensions, when shapes are dilated the dimensions has increment with common factor.

From trigonometry,

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

Where x=4/5

Sin(4/5)= opposite/hypotenose

But we were given the scale factor of 2 which means the dilation is to two times big.

Then we have

Sin(x)=(2×opposite)/(2×hypotenose)

Then,if we divide by 2 the numerator and denominator we still have

Sin(x)=opposite/hypotenose

Which means the two in numerator and denominator is cancelled out.

Then we still have the same sin of x. as sin(4/5)

Hence,Sin of x does not change

The general form of a circle is given as x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 12y + 4 = 0.
stepan [7]
If you can rewrite the formula as (x-a)² + (y-b)² = r², the center is at (a,b) and the radius is r.

If you work out this equation, and map it to the original, you will find that the +4x term hints that a = 2 (double product) and -12y hints that b=-6, and r=6.

So, the formula can be written as (x+2)² + (y-6)² = 6² and the center is at (-2,6) and the radius is 6.
