Answer:

the answer is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (a,b) denote a possible outcome of rolling the two die, with a the number on the top of the first die and b the number on the top of the second die. Note that each of a and b can be any of the integers from 1 through 6. Here is a listing of all the joint possibilities for (a,b):

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

With the above declaration, the outcomes where the sum of the two dice is equal to 7 form an event. If we call this event E, we have

E={(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)}.

so Possibilities(P) of having Event (E)

P(E)=6/36

= 1/6

Alex and payton each have a favorite pancake recipe. Alexs recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches, paytons recipe uses 3/

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

9/4z cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Alex recipe uses 7 1/2 cups of flour for 5 batches

Cups of flour per batch = 7 1/2 cups ÷ 5 batches

= 15/2 ÷ 5

= 15/2 × 1/5

= (15*1)/(2*5)

= 15/10

Alex recipe per batch= 3/2 cups of flour per batch

paytons recipe uses 3/4 cup of flour more per batch than alexs recipe

Payton's recipe per batch = Alex recipe per batch + 3/4 cups

= 3/2 + 3/4

= (6+3)/4

= 9/4 cups of flour

Payton's recipe per batch = 9/4 cups of flour

What expression can be used to determine the number of cups of flour used to make z batches of paytons pancake recipe

Payton's recipe for z batches = Payton's recipe per batch * number of batches

= 9/4 cups * z batches

= 9/4z cups

Payton's recipe for z batches = 9/4z cups

The equation $x=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{5})$ can be used to find the measure of ∠BAC ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the trigonometry ratios in the right triangle ABC, where B is the right angle, AC is the hypotenuse, AB and BC are the legs of the triangle

The trigonometry ratios of the ∠BAC, the opposite side to this angle is BC and the adjacent side to it is AB are

$sin(BAC)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}=\frac{BC}{AC}$
$cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}$
$tan(BAC)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}=\frac{BC}{AB}$

In Δ ABC

∵ ∠ BCA is a right angle

∴ The hypotenuse is AB

∵ The adjacent side to ∠CAB is AC

∵ The opposite side to ∠CAB is BC

∵ AB = 13 units ⇒ hypotenuse

∵ CB = 12 units ⇒ opposite

∵ AC = 5 units ⇒ adjacent

- Let us find the trigonometry ratios of angle BAC

∵ m∠CAB is x

∵ $sin(x)=\frac{BC}{AB}$

∴ $sin(x)=\frac{12}{13}$

∴ $x=sin^{-1}(\frac{12}{13})$

∵ $cos(x)=\frac{AC}{AB}$

∴ $cos(x)=\frac{5}{13}$

∴ $x=cos^{-1}(\frac{5}{13})$

∵ $tan(x)=\frac{BC}{AC}$

∴ $tan(x)=\frac{12}{5}$

∴ $x=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{5})$

The equation $x=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{5})$ can be used to find the measure of ∠BAC

A survey of 340 randomly chosen US adults found that 60% of the 150 men and 50% of the 190 women ran a five-kilometer race durin

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The p-value is less than the significance level, so we will reject the null hypothesis, and conclude that at 5% significance level, the proportion for women that ran 5 km is more than the proportion of male that ran the 5 km. Thus, women are more likely to run the 5 km race.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Number of males selected; n₁ = 150

Number of females selected; n₂ = 190

Proportion of the males; p₁ = 0.6

Proportion of females; p₂ = 0.5

Let's define the hypotheses;

Null hypothesis; H0: p₁ ≥ p₂

Alternative hypothesis; Ha: p₁ < p₂

Now, the z score formula for this is;

z = (p₁ - p₂)/√(p^(1 - p^))(1/n₁ + 1/n₂))

Where;

p^ = (p₁ + p₂)/2

p^ = (0.6 + 0.5)/2

p^ = 0.55

Thus;

z = (0.6 - 0.5)/√(0.55(1 - 0.55))((1/150) + (1/190))

z = 0.1/0.0543

z = 1.84

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached, using z = 1.84, significance level = 0.05, one tailed hypothesis, we have;

P-value = 0.033

Although if we check at 0.01 significance level, we will not have the same answer as the p-value will be greater.

PLS HALP I'm stuck on number 31

Marta_Voda [28]

There are 2 possibilities for where A can be: one where C is 30° (and A is 60°) and another where C is 60° (and A is 30°). Since it's not specified, we can find both.

30°:
drawing the triangle on a graph, you can see that point C is 4 units above point B, so we know that one side of the triangle is 4. Once we find the other "leg" of the triangle (the one that's parallel to the x-axis), we can just add that value to B to find the x coordinate of A.
If angle C is 30°, using the side ratios of a 30-60-90 triangle, that side is "a√3", and the side we're looking for is a. So, to find a, we just divide 4 by √3. In that case, point A is 4/(√3) units to the right of -2√3. We can rationalize 4/(√3) like this:

(4√3)/3

and then add that to 2√3:

(4√3)/3 + -2√3

(4√3)/3 + (-6√3)/3 = (-2√3)/3

We know that the x-coordinate of A is (-2√3)/3, and the y-coordinate is -1 because B is a right angle and we're just moving horizontally. So, if C is 30° and A is 60°, point A is at ((-2√3)/3, -1).

60°:
in this case, the leg we know is "a" and the leg we're looking for is "a√3". So, we can multiply 4 by √3 to get the distance from B:

4 x √3 = 4√3

4√3 + -2√3 = 2√3

So the x-coordinate of A here is 2√3, and the y-coordinate is still -1: (2√3, -1).
