Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the given angles from 180 for A

A = 180° - (90 + 46)° = 180° - 136° = 44°

----------------------------------------------------------------

tan46° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{b}{23}$

Multiply both sides by 23

23 × tan46° = b, thus

b ≈ 23.8 ( to the nearest tenth )

-----------------------------------------------------------------

cos46° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{23}{c}$

Multiply both sides by c

c × cos46° = 23 ( divide both sides by cos46° )

c = $\frac{23}{cos46}$ ≈ 33.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

Students in a class are asked to stand in ascending order according to their heights for the annual class photograph. Determine

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The function in Python is as follows:

def heightChecker(heights):

expected = []

count = 0

for i in range(len(heights)):

expected.append(heights[i])

expected.sort()

for i in range(len(heights)):

if expected[i] != heights[i]:

count+=1

return count

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Function to return the number of out of position students

See comment for complete question

This defines the function. It receives the heights as a parameter, from the main

def heightChecker(heights):

This initializes a list, (expected list)

expected = []

This initializes the count of out of position students

count = 0

This iterates through the original list

for i in range(len(heights)):

The list item is then appended to the expected list

expected.append(heights[i])

This sorts the expected list in ascending order

expected.sort()

This iterates through the original and the expected lists

for i in range(len(heights)):

If list elements at the same index are not the same, count is incremented by 1

if expected[i] != heights[i]:

count+=1

This returns count

return count

Write an equation in point slope form for the line that passes through one of the following pairs of points. You may choose the

wolverine [178]

(5,1)(-3,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (-3 - 5) = -3/8

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3/8
(5,1)...x1 = 5 and y1 = 1
now we sub
y - 1 = -3/8(x - 5) <=== point slope form

y - 1 = -3/8(x - 5)
y - 1 = -3/8x + 15/8
y = -3/8x + 15/8 + 1
y = -3/8x + 15/8 + 8/8
y = -3/8x + 23/8 <=== slope intercept form

y = -3/8x + 23/8
3/8x + y = 23/8 ...multiply everything by 8
3x + 8y = 23 <==== standard form

Travka [436]

Answer:

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 8.1 mm

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.5 mm

Sample size, n = 100

We are given that the distribution of thickness is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
