Answer:

See Below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average is take by adding all the terms together and dividing by the number of terms. In this case it terms is people in the room.

22= (25+18+17+13+24+x)/6

Where 22 is the average age. The numerator is all the known ages added together, plus x which is the age of the person who just entered. Divided by 6 because you are finding the average age of 6 people.

22 = (25+18+17+13+24+x)/6     Multiply both sides by 6

132= 97+ x  Subtract 97 from both sides.

35 = x

The person who just entered the room is 35 years old.

Use rectangle ABCD and the given information to solve each problem.

Problem 1

<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>angle 6 = 50</h3><h3>angle 7 = 50</h3><h3>angle 8 = 40</h3>

--------------------

Work Shown:

point E = intersection point of diagonals.

x = measure of angle 6

y = measure of angle 8

angle 7 is also x because triangle AED is isosceles (AE = ED)

Focus on triangle AED, the three angles A, E, D add to 180

A+E+D = 180

x+80+x = 180

2x+80 = 180

2x = 180-80

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

So both angles 6 and 7 are 50 degrees.

Turn to angle 8. This is adjacent to angle 7. The two angles form a 90 degree angle at point A. This is because a rectangle has 4 right angles.

(angle7)+(angle8) = 90

50+y = 90

y = 90-50

y = 40

angle 8 = 40 degrees

=================================================

Problem 2

<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>angle 2 = 61</h3><h3>angle 3 = 61</h3>

--------------------

Work Shown:

Angle 5 is 29 degrees (given). So is angle 4 because these are the base angles of isosceles triangle DEC (segment DE = segment EC)

angle 3 and angle 4 form a 90 degree angle

x = measure of angle 3

(angle 3)+(angle 4) = 90

x+29 = 90

x = 90-29

x = 61

Angle 2 is congruent to angle 3 since triangle BEC is isosceles (BE = EC), so both angle 2 and angle 3 are 61 degrees each.

Write an equation for each graph in a slope<br> Intercept form
Andrew [12]

Answer:

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = rise/run = -6/2 = -3

(negative graph = negative slope)

b = y-intercept = 2

Make a decision about the given claim. use only the rare event? rule, and make subjective estimates to determine whether events
Elan Coil [88]

Given claim: A coin favors heads when tossed, and there are 90 heads in 100 tosses.

Answer: There isn’t sufficient evidence to support this claim, because the coin is a fair coin.

 

Given claim: Movie patrons have IQ scores with a standard deviation that is less than the standard deviation of 15 for the general population. A simple random sample of 40 movie patrons result in IQ scores with a standard deviation of 14.8.

Answer: Claim is either true or false

 

In a rare event rule, <span>we conclude that the assumption is probably not correct, if, under a given assumption, the probability of a particular observed event is exceptionally small. </span>
