Answer:

b. b = 15.0, A = 113.2°, C = 300°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sides are either side of the given angle, so the Law of Cosines can be used to find the unknown side.

b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)

b² = 23² +12.5² -2(23)(12.5)cos(36.8°) = 224.829

b = √224.829 = 14.99 ≈ 15.0 . . . . . matches choice B

For the purpose of selecting the correct multiple-choice answer, this is sufficient working.

If you want to find the remaining angles, you can use the law of sines to find one of them. The smallest angle* will be ...

sin(C)/c = sin(B)/b

C = arcsin(c/b·sin(B)) = arcsin(12.5/14.9942·sin(36.8°)) ≈ 30.0°

Then angle A can be found from the sum of angles in a triangle:

A = 180° -36.8° -30° = 113.2° . . . . . also matches choice B

_____

* We choose to find the smallest angle because the largest one may be more than 90°. The Law of Sines is ambiguous in that case. Finding the smaller angle first resolves the ambiguity immediately.

Bob Nale is the owner of Nale's Quick Fill. Bob would like to estimate the mean number of gallons of gasoline sold to his custom

Mnenie [13.5K]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

As per given , we have

$\ovreline{x}=8.17$

$\sigma=2.2$

n= 64

a) Since , the sample mean is the point estimate for the population mean.

Therefore, the point estimate of the population mean = $\ovreline{x}=8.17$

b) Critical z-value for 99% confidence : $z_{\alpha/2}=2.576$

Confidence interval :

$\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$8.17\pm (2.576)\dfrac{2.2}{\sqrt{64}}$

$8.17\pm 0.7084$

$(8.17-0.7084,\ 8.17+0.7084)=(7.4616,\ 8.8784)\approx (7.46,\ 8.88)$

Hence, the 99 percent confidence interval for the population mean is between 7.46 and 8.88.

Identificación de la intención del mensaje o del texto leído

Neko [114]

Answer:

La identificación de la intención del mensaje o del texto leído no es otra cosa que la interpretación del mismo. Es decir, a través de la lectura y la identificación de las diferentes variables comunicativas, el lector realiza un análisis del contenido del texto y lo interpreta, buscando dilucidar la intención que el redactor tuvo al momento de escribir el mensaje o texto en cuestión. La interpretación de textos es fundamental para poder comprender lo que se encuentra redactado, es decir, para poder lograr una total comprensión del texto.
