Answer:

In the year 2000 the number of hazardous waste sites in state y was 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of hazardous waste sites in state x in the year 2000

y ----> the number of hazardous waste sites in state y in the year 2000

we know that

$x=2y-8$ ----> equation A

$x=34$ ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

$34=2y-8$

Solve for y

Adds 8 both sides

$34+8=2y$

$42=2y$

Divide by 2 both sides

$y=21$

therefore

In the year 2000 the number of hazardous waste sites in state y was 21

Please dont ignore, Need help!!! Use the law of sines/cosines to find..

Ket [755]

Answer:

16. Angle C is approximately 13.0 degrees.

17. The length of segment BC is approximately 45.0.

18. Angle B is approximately 26.0 degrees.

15. The length of segment DF "e" is approximately 12.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>16</h3>

By the law of sine, the sine of interior angles of a triangle are proportional to the length of the side opposite to that angle.

For triangle ABC:

$\sin{A} = \sin{103\textdegree{}}$ ,
The opposite side of angle A $a = BC = 26$ ,
The angle C is to be found, and
The length of the side opposite to angle C $c = AB = 6$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{\sin{C}}{\sin{A}} = \frac{c}{a}$ .

$\displaystyle \sin{C} = \frac{c}{a}\cdot \sin{A} = \frac{6}{26}\times \sin{103\textdegree}$ .

$\displaystyle C = \sin^{-1}{(\sin{C}}) = \sin^{-1}{\left(\frac{c}{a}\cdot \sin{A}\right)} = \sin^{-1}{\left(\frac{6}{26}\times \sin{103\textdegree}}\right)} = 13.0\textdegree{}$ .

Note that the inverse sine function here $\sin^{-1}()$ is also known as arcsin.

<h3>17</h3>

By the law of cosine,

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2\;a\cdot b\cdot \cos{C}$ ,

where

$a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are the lengths of sides of triangle ABC, and
$\cos{C}$ is the cosine of angle C.

For triangle ABC:

$b = 21$ ,
$c = 30$ ,
The length of $a$ (segment BC) is to be found, and
The cosine of angle A is $\cos{123\textdegree}$ .

Therefore, replace C in the equation with A, and the law of cosine will become:

$a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;b\cdot c\cdot \cos{A}$ .

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}a &= \sqrt{b^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;b\cdot c\cdot \cos{A}}\\&=\sqrt{21^{2} + 30^{2} - 2\times 21\times 30 \times \cos{123\textdegree}}\\&=45.0 \end{aligned}$ .

<h3>18</h3>

For triangle ABC:

$a = 14$ ,
$b = 9$ ,
$c = 6$ , and
Angle B is to be found.

Start by finding the cosine of angle B. Apply the law of cosine.

$b^{2} = a^{2} + c^{2} - 2\;a\cdot c\cdot \cos{B}$ .

$\displaystyle \cos{B} = \frac{a^{2} + c^{2} - b^{2}}{2\;a\cdot c}$ .

$\displaystyle B = \cos^{-1}{\left(\frac{a^{2} + c^{2} - b^{2}}{2\;a\cdot c}\right)} = \cos^{-1}{\left(\frac{14^{2} + 6^{2} - 9^{2}}{2\times 14\times 6}\right)} = 26.0\textdegree$ .

<h3>15</h3>

For triangle DEF:

The length of segment DF is to be found,
The length of segment EF is 9,
The sine of angle E is $\sin{64\textdegree}}$ , and
The sine of angle D is $\sin{39\textdegree}$ .

Apply the law of sine:

$\displaystyle \frac{DF}{EF} = \frac{\sin{E}}{\sin{D}}$

$\displaystyle DF = \frac{\sin{E}}{\sin{D}}\cdot EF = \frac{\sin{64\textdegree}}{39\textdegree} \times 9 = 12.9$ .

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1) Categorical

2) Norminal

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The data collected by Kroger in this example categorical or quantitative identified below:

From the given information, Kroger uses an online customer opinion to obtain the data about its products and services. All the questions based on yes or no type questions. Here the questions are ‘products that have a brand name, products that are environmentally friendly, products that are organic’ these type of questions cannot be expressed numerically so the data collected by Kroger Company is categorical variable because these answers of the questions cannot be counted.

Any variable which is grouped into two or more attributes then it is a categorical variable. The data collected by Kroger Company is categorical variable and any variable which can be counted or measured in numerical then it is quantitative variable.

2)

The measurement scale is identified below:

Here the variable cannot be counted in numerical sale so the level of measurement cannot be ratio, interval because ratio and interval scale can be used for numerical data. The nominal scale can be used to identify the ‘products that have a brand name, products that are environmentally friendly, products that are organic, products that have been recommended by others’ because natural order need not be used.

The ratio and interval scale can be used for Quantitative data and nominal and ordinal scale can be used for Qualitative data. When the order is needed to categorize the objects Ordinal scale is used, when the order is not needed to categorize the objects Nominal scale is used.
