Answer:

11.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a calculator is required to evaluate the irrational sum ...

π + √70

<h3>Calculator result</h3>

The result from a readily-available online calculator is shown in the attachment.

π + √70 ≈ 11.51

<em>Additional comment</em>

You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.

For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...

√n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))

Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...

r' = a +b/(a +r)

For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6 ⇒ a=8, b=6

If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...

r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8

r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131

This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...

3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51

Can someone help me on problems 9, 10 and 11 please!!!

Rasek [7]

9. You shouldn't agree, because they are equal to one another.

10. 84 cents plus 61 should be $1.45 because 84 + 61 is 145 and 100 cents equals 1 dollar, and then you have 45 left over.

100 - .63 is .37 because the whole painting is equal to 1, or .1, or in this case I used it as 100. The drawing is up to you, but you can just draw a canvas and shade in a little bit more than half but not the full canvas. .37 of the canvas is left.

A recent survey found that 70% of all adults over 50 wear

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

There is an 84.97% probability that at least six wear glasses.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult over 50, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they wear glasses, or they do not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 10, p = 0.7$

What is the probability that at least six wear glasses?

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + `P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.8497$

There is an 84.97% probability that at least six wear glasses.

On last week math tests Mr.Jones class had an average of 82 points with a standard deviation of 10 points.Mrs.Potters class had

katrin [286]

Mrs. Potter’s class was more consistent because their standard deviation of 3 points was lower.

<h3>What is a statistical dispersion?</h3>

A statistical dispersion is also referred to as degree of dispersion and it can be defined as a measure of the extent to which a numerical value (data) is likely to vary about a mean or an average value.

In Mathematics, there are four measures of dispersion for a data set and these include the following:

Range

Interquartile range

Variance

Standard deviation

In this scenario, we can infer and logically conclude that Mrs. Potter’s class was more consistent than Mr. Jones class because their standard deviation of 3 points was lower.

Please hurry thank you

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

7.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the side opposite of the right angle, hence the hypotenuse for this triangle is 11 ft.

Side $x$ is adjacent to the angle given. So we need adjacent and we have hypotenuse. Which trigonometric ratio relates adjacent and hypotenuse? It is COSINE.

<em>Thus, we can write:</em>

$cos(A)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\cos(44)=\frac{x}{11}$

<em>Cross multiplying, we can solve for $x$ :</em>

$cos(44)=\frac{x}{11}\\x=cos(44)*11\\x=7.91$

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have $x=7.9$ ft.
