Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=76.3359\ cm\approx76.3\ cm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cosine:

$cosine=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

We have

$adjacent=73\ cm\\hypotenuse=y$

and the angle 17°.

$\cos17^o\approx0.9563$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{73}{y}=0.9563$ convert the decimal to the fraction

$\dfrac{73}{y}=\dfrac{9563}{10000}$ cross multiply

$9563y=730000$ divide both sides by 9563

$y=\dfrac{730000}{9563}$

$y\approx76.3359$

The median home value in Torrance is currently $750,900. Last Year the median home price in Torrance was 650,700. What is the pe

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

15.40(approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

The current price is $750900.

The last year the price was $650700.

Amount increase in the price is $(750900 - 650700) = $100200.

Hence the percentage is $\frac{100200}{650700} times 100$ = 15.40 (approximately).

Select all the values that belong to the solution set of 9 ≤ 6 - y.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

All you have to do is substitute the values in for y to see if they are true.

0: 9 ≤ 6 - 0 = 9 ≤ 6 (FALSE)
3: 9 ≤ 6 - 3 = 9 ≤ 3 (FALSE)
-3: 9 ≤ 6 - -3 = 9 ≤ 9 (TRUE)
-1: 9 ≤ 6 - -1 = 9 ≤ 7 (FALSE)
-6: 9 ≤ 6 - -6 = 9 ≤ 12 (TRUE)
6: 9 ≤ 6 - 6 = 9 ≤ 0 (FALSE)
-4: 9 ≤ 6 - -4 = 9 ≤ 10 (TRUE)

So, the values that belong to 9 ≤ 6 - y are -3, -4, and -6.

The computers of nine engineers at a certain company are to be replaced. Four of the engineers have selected laptops and the oth

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

(a) There are 70 different ways set up 4 computers out of 8.

(b) The probability that exactly three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.305.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 9 new computers 4 are laptops and 5 are desktop.

Let X = a laptop is selected and Y = a desktop is selected.

The probability of selecting a laptop is = $P(Laptop) = p_{X} = \frac{4}{9}$

The probability of selecting a desktop is = $P(Desktop) = p_{Y} = \frac{5}{9}$

Then both X and Y follows Binomial distribution.

$X\sim Bin(9, \frac{4}{9})\\ Y\sim Bin(9, \frac{5}{9})$

The probability function of a binomial distribution is:

$P(U=k)={n\choose k}\times(p)^{k}\times (1-p)^{n-k}$

(a)

Combination is used to determine the number of ways to select k objects from n distinct objects without replacement.

It is denotes as: ${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

In this case 4 computers are to selected of 8 to be set up. Since there cannot be replacement, i.e. we cannot set up one computer twice or thrice, use combinations to determine the number of ways to set up 4 computers of 8.

The number of ways to set up 4 computers of 8 is:

${8\choose 4}=\frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}\\=\frac{8!}{4!\times 4!} \\=70$

Thus, there are 70 different ways set up 4 computers out of 8.

(b)

It is provided that 4 computers are randomly selected.

Compute the probability that exactly 3 of the 4 computers selected are desktops as follows:

$P(Y=3)={4\choose 3}\times(\frac{5}{9})^{3}\times (1-\frac{5}{9})^{4-3}\\=4\times\frac{125}{729}\times\frac{4}{9}\\ =0.304832\\\approx0.305$

Thus, the probability that exactly three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.305.

(c)

Compute the probability that of the 4 computers selected at least 3 are desktops as follows:

$P(Y\geq 3)=1-P(Y$

Thus, the probability that at least three of the selected computers are desktops is 0.401.
