Answer:

Measure of the angle is 6°

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the measure of compliment.

The angle = 90 - x

We know that sum of an angle and its compliment is equal to 90°.

So, According to the Question

90 - x = x - 78

90 + 78 = x + x (transpose 78 to LHS and x to RHS )

x + x = 90 + 78

2x = 168

x = 84

So, Angle = 90 - x = 90- 84 = 6

Therefore, Measure of the angle is 6°

Complementary angles add up to 90'
So let X= angle 1
Y=angle 2
So x+y=90
let x=y-78
so(y-78)+y=90
y-78+y=90
2y-78=90
2y=90+78
2y=168
y=168/2
y=84
x=y-78
so x=84-78
x=6
And 6+84=90
So the measure of the angle is 6 degrees.

A recent study asked U. S. Adults to name 10 historic events that occurred during their lifetime that have had the greatest impa

Nadusha1986 [10]

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all U. S. Adults who would include the 9/11 attacks on their list of 10 historic events is (0.7458, 0.7942). It means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion for all U.S. adults is between these two bounds.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are:

$z = 2.575, n = 2000, \pi = 0.77$

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.77 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.77(0.23)}{2000}} = 0.7458$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.77 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.77(0.23)}{2000}} = 0.7942$

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all U. S. Adults who would include the 9/11 attacks on their list of 10 historic events is (0.7458, 0.7942). It means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion for all U.S. adults is between these two bounds.

The correct answer is: [C]: " 5 " .
__________________________________________________________
→ " a = 5 " .
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________________

Given: " a + 1 <span>− 2 = 4 " ; Solve for "a" ;

4 + 2 = 6 ;

6 </span>− 1 = 5 ; → a = 5 ;

To check our work:

5 + 1 − 2 = ? 4 ?? ;

5 + 1 = 6 ;

6 − 2 = 4. Yes!

So the answer is: [C]: " 5 ".
_________________________________________________________
→ " a = 5 " .

stellarik [79]

54÷2 since there 2 girls for each boy so 2 girls for 1 boy and there 54 girls

54÷2=27

so there 27 boys in the league
