The answer is 36°.

Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90°.

Let angles be x and y.
x + y = 90°
x : y = 2 : 3
_____
3 * x = 2 * y
3x = 2y
x + y = 90°
_____
x = 2/3*y
x + y = 90°
2/3y + y = 90°
2/3y + 3/3y = 90°
5/3y = 90°
5y = 90° * 3
5y = 270°
y = 54°

x + 54° = 90°
x = 90° - 54°
x = 36°

The smaller angle is 36°

The sum of two numbers is 62, and their difference is 8. What are the numbers

Lemur [1.5K]

Sum of two numbers is 62?
Let's call the two numbers $a$ and $b$

let's find two same numbers that would add up to 62: 31.
31 + 31 = 62

since it said the difference is 8, we have to add 4 to one number and subtract 4 from another.
31 - 4 = 27
31 + 4 = 35

Therefore, the two numbers following the given rules are 27 and 35

The data below are the ages and systolic blood pressures (measured in millimeters of mercury) of 9 randomly selected adults. Wha

seraphim [82]

Answer:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume the following dataset given:

x: 38,41,45,48,51,53,57,61,65

y: 116,120,123,131,142,145,148,150,152

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i =459$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =1227$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =24059$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =168843$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =63544$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=24059-\frac{459^2}{9}=650$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=63544-\frac{459*1227}{9}=967$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{967}{650}=1.488$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{459}{9}=51$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1227}{9}=136.33$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=136.33-(1.488*51)=60.442$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.488 x +60.442$

And then the best predicted value of y for x = 41 is:

$y=1.488*41 +60.442 =121.45$
