The two triangles are similar. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x = Two right triangles, one smaller than t

he other, back to back, so that their right angles form a straight angle. The two acute angles along the straight angle are congruent to each other. The overlapping part of the legs is labeled 20. The part of the overlapping side that extends above the smaller triangle is labeled 8. The leg of the smaller triangle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 3 x. The leg of the larger angle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 4 x plus 2.

<span>x = 4
   Given the description of the triangles, you have 2 similar right triangles. The smaller triangle has a height of 20 and a base of 3x, while the larger has a height of (20+8) = 28 and a base of 4x + 2. We wish to determine the value of x. Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides will be a constant. So:
 20/28 = (3x)/(4x+2)
 (4x+2)20/28 = (3x)
 (20/28)*4x+(20/28)*2 = (3x)
 (80/28)*x+(40/28) = (3x)
 (20/7)*x + 4/7 = 3x
 4/7 = 3x - (20/7)*x
 4/7 = (21/7)x - (20/7)*x
 4/7 = x/7
 4 = x
   So the value of x is 4.</span>

A recent survey by the cancer society has shown that the probability that someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29. They have also deter
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is P (S∩LC) = 0.16.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

It is known that the probability if someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29 and the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are also smoker is P(LC|S)=0.552.

So using the above information, we are to find the probability hat a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S∩LC).

P (LC|S) = P (S∩LC) / P (S)

Substituting the given values to get:

0.552 = P(S∩LC) / 0.29

P (S∩LC) = 0.552 × 0.29 = 0.16

Consider the solution to the linear equation. 5 (x + 6) = 50. 5 x + 30 = 50. 5 x = 20. x = 4. Which describes the inverse operat
dem82 [27]

(trying to isolate/get x by itself in the equation)

5(x + 6) = 50      Distributive property   [distribute 5 into (x + 6)]

5x + 30 = 50    Subtraction    [subtract 30 on both sides of the equation]

5x = 20       Division     [divide 5 on both sides]

x = 4

Subtraction then division, the 2nd option

Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because th
Ksju [112]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. The distribution of the contents is normal with standard deviation of 3 ml.

A student who suspects that the bottler is under-filling measures the contents of six bottles. The results are: 299.4, 297.7, 301.0, 298.9, 300.2, 297.0

<u><em>Let </em></u>\mu<u><em> = mean contents of cola bottles.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu \geq  300 ml   {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu < 300 ml   {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is less than the advertised 300 ml}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z test statistics</u> as we know about the population standard deviation;

                       T.S.  = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean contents of cola bottle = \frac{\sum X}{n} = 299.03 ml

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 3 ml

            n = sample of bottles = 6

So, <em><u>test statistics</u></em>  =  \frac{299.03-300}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } }     

                               =  -0.792

<em>Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as -0.792 > -1.6449, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.

If I have 7 button down shirts, 5 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes that I can wear to work then how many different outfits ca
34kurt

105 different outfits can wear on an individual day

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

I have 7 button down shirts, 5 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes that I can wear to work

To find: Number of different outfits can I wear on an individual day

First he has to decide on a pair of pants and he has 5 different choices

For each of those choices he has a choice of 7 different button down shirts, so that gives him 5 x 7 = 35 different pant/shirt combinations

For each of those 35 different pant/shirt combinations, he has 3 pairs of shoes he could select, so altogether he has 35 x 3 = 105 different outfits

In short we can say,

different outfits = 7 x 5 x 3 = 105

So there 105 different outfits can wear on an individual day
