Find the measure of an angle whose measure is 20° less than the measure of its supplement.

1 answer:

3 0

Supplementary = angles add up to 180
Measure = 20 less

Labelled as x + (x - 20) = 180

Solve.

x + (x - 20) = 180
2x = 200
/2 /2
x = 100

Angle 1: Angle 2:
x - 20 x
100 - 20 100
80

Therefore the angle is 80 degrees.

Proof: 80 + 100 = 180 (supplementary)
100 - 80 = 20 (80 is less than supplement (100)

Hope I helped :))))

What is the value of the expression 1/2 (m-2/3n) when m=3/2 and n= 1/2 ?

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B. $\frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{3}{2}\\n=\frac{1}{2\\} \\\frac{1}{2} (m-\frac{2}{3} n)=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{2} -\frac{2}{3} .\frac{1}{2} )\\=\frac{7}{12}$

So B is the correct answer.

The mean yearly rainfall in Sydney, Australia, is about 134 mm and the standard deviation is about 66 mm ("Annual maximums of,"

svetlana [45]

Answer:

At least 202.44 mm in the top 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 134, \sigma = 66$
