Answer:

1. 98.7 km

2. 303.5 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the alternate angle, the angle at B will be 50 + 10 = 60 degree.

To calculate the length AC of the returning journey, use cosine formula to calculate it.

To find the bearing of the returning journey, use sine rule to calculate it.

If outliers are discarded, then the retirement savings by residents of Econistan is normally distributed with a mean of $100,000
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.85)=1-P(z

The firgure attached illustrate the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the retirement savings of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(100000,20000)  

Where \mu=100000 and \sigma=20000

We are interested on this probability

P(X>117000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>117000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{117000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{117000-100000}{20000})=P(z>0.85)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the normal standard table or excel:

P(z>0.85)=1-P(z

A point p in the first quadrant lies on the parabola y=x^2. Express the coordinates of p as a function of the angle of inclinati
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

  • The coordinates of the point p are:       (x,xtan\alpha )

                   

           

Explanation:

1. Name the angle of inclination of the line joining p to the origin α.

2. Find the relation between the coordinates of the point (x,y)

When you draw a line from the origin to the parabola, the intersection point, p(x,y) will have coordinates (x,y).

As per the definition of the tangent trigonometric ratio you have:

  • tan\alpha =\frac{y}{x}

From which you can clear y:

  • y=xtan\alpha =>(x,y)=(x,xtan\alpha )

Which is the expression of the coordinates of p as a function of the angle of inclination of the line joining p to the origin.

If p(x) = 2x2 – 4x and q(x) = x – 3, what is (p*q) (x)
jonny [76]
Hello:
(poq)(x) = p(q(x))=  p(x-3) = 2(x-3)²-4(x-3) = 2(x²-6x+9)-4(x-3)
(poq)(x) = 2x²-12x+18-4x+12
(poq)(x) = 2x²-16x+30... (answer : C )
