Answer:

-0.51, 5/3, sqrt (2), and 1.37

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know probability must be between 0 and 1. It cannot be greater than 1 and cannot be less than 0 or negative

1, can be the probability as it lies between 0 and 1

-0.51, cannot be the value of probability as it is negative

5/3 = 1.66 which is greater than 1, so cannot be the value of probability

$\sqrt{2}$ = 1.41 which is greater than 1, so cannot be the value of probability

3/5 = 0.6 can be the probability as it lies between 0 and 1

0.03, can be the probability as it lies between 0 and 1

1.37 which is greater than 1, so cannot be the value of probability

1. Sin 240 degree = -sin ( 240 -180 degree) = -sin (60 degree)
2. Tan 130 degree = -tan ( 180 - 130 degree) = -tan 50 degree
3. sec 305 degree = sec ( 360 - 305 degree) = sec (55 degree)
4. cos 95 degree = -<span>cos (180 - 95 degree ) = -cos 85 degree</span>

James and Lin got married and got new jobs. Lin earns $3100 more per year than James. Together they earn $81,960. How much doe

My name is Ann [436]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can turn this into an equation.

Let’s denote the amount of money James makes as X.

Then Lin makes X + 3100.

Together they make 81960.

So combine their earning expressions.

X + X + 3100 = 81960

Solve for X

X = 39430

So James makes $39430 since his earnings are demoted by x.

Lin then makes 3100 + 39430, which is $42530.

69. A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the opening midnigh

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

a. at least 20%, when in fact, it is less than 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Type 1 Error is to reject null hypothesis when it is actually true.

Here the null hypothesis is fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the show.

In mathematics fewer than 20% means less than 20%.

So the null hypothesis is that less than 20 % students attended the show.

We have to reject this hypothesis .

We can reject this hypothesis when we assume that the % is greater than or equal to 20 %

At least 20% means greater than or equal to 20%.

So the best choice is option a.

at least 20%, when in fact, it is less than 20%.
