There's no such thing as the "length"of an angle. 
But we know what you're getting at.

You have said that the angles are complementary.  If two angles are
complementary, then  their sum is 90 degrees, so we can take your
two angles and write:

                       <u>x</u>  (one angle) plus <u>(2x + 12)</u> (the other one) <u>= 90 degrees

</u>
<u />                          x + 2x + 12  =  90<u>

</u>
Subtract 12 from each side:     x + 2x  =  78

Add the x's on the left side:        3x      =  78

Divide each side by  3 :                x      =  26 degrees

One angle is 'x'  =  <em>26 degrees</em>

The other one is (2x + 12) = 52+12 = <em>64 degrees</em>

A student researcher compares the heights of men and women from the student body of a certain college in order to estimate the d
maria [59]

Answer:

(0.6613, 8.3387)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the heights of men be the first population and the heights of women be the second population. Then

We have n_{1} = 15, \bar{x}_{1} = 69.4, s_{1} = 3.09 and

n_{2} = 7, \bar{x}_{2} = 64.9, s_{2} = 2.58. The pooled

estimate is given by  

s_{p}^{2} = \frac{(n_{1}-1)s_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2} = \frac{(15-1)(3.09)^{2}+(7-1)(2.58)^{2}}{15+7-2} = 8.68

The 99% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean height of the men and the mean height of the women is given by (if the samples are independent)

(\bar{x}_{1}-\bar{x}_{2})\pm t_{0.01/2}s_{p}\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{7}}, i.e.,

(69.4-64.9)\pm t_{0.005}2.946\sqrt{\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{7}}

where t_{0.005} is the 0.5th quantile of the t distribution with (15+7-2) = 20 degrees of freedom. So  

4.5\pm(-2.845)(2.946)(0.458), i.e.,

A large university accepts ​60% of the students who apply. Of the students the university​ accepts, 50​% actually enroll. If 10,
prisoha [69]

we need to find 1% of 10000 first

so we divide 10000:100= 100 (that's 1%)

to find the 60% which will be accepted we multiply 100 × 60 = 6000 students accepted

of those 6000 we need to find 50% which is ½ so we basically just divide by 2, aka 6000 : 2 = 3000 people which will be enrolled

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed below? y = x - 2 y = 4x - 5
ololo11 [35]
There are 3 available methods - Substitution , Elimination and <span>Matrix.  

</span>The substitution<span> method is used to eliminate one of the variables by replacement. 
</span>
The elimination method<span> is used for solving linear systems. 
</span>
<span>A Matrix is an array of numbers. 
</span>
Lets use Substitution to solve this system. 

x-2=4x-5 

-2=4x-5-x 

-2=(4x-x)-5&#10;&#10; &#10; 

-2=3x-5 

-2+5=3x 

3=3x 

3=3x / 3 

x=1 

Now substitute <span>x=1  
</span>
y=x-2 

y=1-2&#10;&#10; &#10; 

y=-1&#10;&#10; 

Hence - x=1&#10; &#10;y=-1
