complimentary angles = 90

complement = c

angle = x

x = 5(c - x) - 6

x = 5(90 - x) - 6

x = 450 - 5x - 6

x (+5x) = -5x (+5x) + 444

6x = 444

6x/6 = 444/6

x = 74

plug back into equation

90 - 74 = 16

16 is your answer

hope this helps

Complimentary angles, when added, = 90 degrees
so if one angle is x, then its compliment is 90 - x

x = 5(90 - x) - 6
x = 450 - 5x - 6
x + 5x = 450 - 6
6x = 444
x = 444/6
x = 74

and its compliment is : 90 - x.....90 - 74 = 16 <==

Cole can learn how to play tennis. But if he saved the money, he can save up and get something bigger, or save up for college. There is only so much he can do with a tennis racket except for using it to learn a new sport.

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

B. Yes, because P(X ≥ 68) ≤ .05

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a score X occuring is said to be unusually high if the probability of a score of X or larger is lower than 5%.

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they think that the court shows too much concern for criminals, or they do not think this. So 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 combinations 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:

Three out of four students said that courts show too much concern for criminals. This means that $p = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75$

Would 68 be considered an unusually high number of students who feel that courts are partial to criminals?

We have to find $P(X \geq 68)$ .

$P(X \geq 68) = P(X = 68) + P(X = 69) + P(X = 70)$

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

$P(X = 68) = C_{70,68}.(0.75)^{68}.(0.25)^{2} < 0.000001$

$P(X = 69) = C_{70,69}.(0.75)^{69}.(0.25)^{1} < 0.000001$

$P(X = 70) = C_{70,70}.(0.75)^{70}.(0.25)^{0} < 0.000001$

$P(X \geq 68) = P(X = 68) + P(X = 69) + P(X = 70) < 0.000003$

$P(X \geq 68)$ is lower than 0.05, so this is an unusually high number.

So the correct answer is:

B. Yes, because P(X ≥ 68) ≤ .05

Give the radian measure of an angle drawn in standard position that corresponds with the ray containing the coordinate point (−1

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The radian measure of the angle drawn in standard position that corresponds with the ray containing the coordinate point $(-12, -3\sqrt{2})$ is approximately $1.108\pi$ radians.

Step-by-step explanation:

With respect to origin, the coordinate point belongs to the third quadrant, which comprises the family of angles from $\pi\,rad$ to $\frac{3\pi}{2}\,rad$ . The angle in standard position can be estimated by using the following equivalence:

$\theta = \pi\,rad + \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{12} \right)$

$\theta \approx \pi \,rad + 0.108\pi \,rad$

$\theta \approx 1.108\pi\,rad$

The radian measure of the angle drawn in standard position that corresponds with the ray containing the coordinate point $(-12, -3\sqrt{2})$ is approximately $1.108\pi$ radians.
