ANSWER

-\sqrt{3}

EXPLANATION

The given angle is 870°.

870°-360°-360°=150°

This means that:

870° is coterminal with 150°, hence its terminal side is in the second quadrant.

It makes an acute angle of 30° with the x-axis.

Note that cotangent is negative in the second quadrant,

Hence,

\cot(870 \degree)  =  \cot(150 \degree)  =  -  \cot(30 \degree)  =  -  \frac{1}{ \tan(30 \degree) }  =  - \sqrt{3}

The first option is correct.

You arrive at an intersection with traffic lights that are not working because of a power outage
yulyashka [42]

Traffic rules are set by each individual state.

In most states, an intersection where traffic lights are out of order
is treated as if it were a 4-way STOP.

But you can't depend on this answer.  You MUST determine what
the law is in the state where you're driving.  And if you drive out of
state, it may change for you.

A variation on a familiar theme: A packet is received correctly by an end user with probability p. To increase the likelihood th
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) X can take the values {0,1,2,3,...,n}

The probability mass function of x is defined for k copies received correctly as:

P(X=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

b) N should be N=2 to ensure that with probability 0.99 at least one copy of the message is received.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X:number of copies received correctly by the end user can be modeled as a binomial variable, as it is a sum of n Bernoulli variables with probability p.

X can take the values {0,1,2,3,...,n}

The probability mass function of x is defined for k copies received correctly as:

P(X=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}

being p: the probability that a packet is received correctly by an end user, and q=1-p: the probability that a packet is not received correctly by an end user.

b) We have to calculate n so as to have a probability P(x≥1)=0.99, when p=0.9.

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)=0.99\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{n}{0}p^0(1-p)^n=1*1*(1-p)^n=(1-0.9)^n=0.1^n\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.1^n=0.99\\\\0.1^n=1-0.99=0.01\\\\n\cdot ln(0.1)=ln(0.01)\\\\n=ln(0.01)/ln(0.1)=2
