The value of m ∠ RPS is 64. 7°

<h3>What are collinear angles?</h3>

Collinear angles are angles formed when three or more points lie on the same straight line.

Note that angles on a straight line sum up to 180 degrees.

From the diagram given, we can see that the angles are collinear angles and thus sum up to 180 degrees;

m ∠QPS = 88°
m ∠ RPS = 5x + 34°
m ∠ QPR = 8x + 15°

m ∠QPS + m ∠ RPS + m ∠ QPR = 180°

88° + 5x + 34° + 8x + 15° = 180

collect like terms

5x + 8x = 180 - 137

Add like terms

13x = 43

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = 43/ 7

x = 6. 14

m ∠ RPS = 5x + 34 = 5 ( 6. 14) + 34 = 30. 7 + 34 = 64. 7°

Thus, the value of m ∠ RPS is 64. 7°

Lori has 60% of the book to read. If she has read 120 pages how many pages does she still have to read

maks197457 [2]

Ok, so 120 pages plus the 60% of the book she has left to read will give the total number of pages.

That means that 120 pages is 40% of the book.

Make a proportion

120/40% = x/60%

72 = .4 x

x = 180 pages

Approximately 14 percent of the population of Arizona is 65 years or older. A random sample of five persons from this population

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A)0.8533

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are 65 or older, or they are not. The probability of a person being 65 or older is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

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

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