<h3>Answer: 42.9</h3>

There are two triangles: triangle MAB and triangle MNP

The slanted sides on the right side of the triangles are MB and MP. They correspond to one another. So they form a ratio MB/MP. I have the smaller piece up top. So we'll have the smaller piece of MAB's other known side which is MA = 35.2 (subtract 67.22 and 32) and we'll divide MA over MN = 67.2 making the ratio MA/MN

Solve the proportion for x

MB/MP = MA/MN

x/81.9 = 35.2/67.2

67.2*x = 81.9*35.2 <<--- cross multiply

67.2*x = 2882.88

x = 2882.88/67.2 <<--- divide both sides by 67.2

x = 42.9

Answer:

42.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

When lines are parallel and they are cut by a transversal, their corresponding angles are equal.

<MAB = <MNP Corresponding Angles are equal
<MBA = <MPN Corresponding Angles are equal
<M = <M Reflexive Property: an angle equals itself
These Triangles are similar by AAA

Therefore Corresponding Sides of Similar Triangles are in a ratio

Equation

MA / MN = MB/MP

Givens

MA = 67.2 - 32 = 35.2
MN = 67.2
MB = x
MP - 81.9

Solution

35.2/67.2 = x / 81.9 Cross Multiply

35.2 * 81.9 = 67.2 * x Combine the left

2883 = 67.2 * x Divide by 67.2

2883/67.2 = x

x = 42.9 Answer

Answer:

For the part that contains organic matter your answer is, 35 negative result

For the part that does not contain organic matter your answer is, 60 positive result

Step-by-step explanation:

If we pay attention to the part that contains organic matter the total amount 700 and 665 is positive, so subtract them 700-665 to get 35 negative result

For the part that does not contain organic matter the total amount is 300, and 240 of it is negative, so subtract 240 from 300 to get 60 positive result

A car dealership sells 0, 1, or 2 luxury cars on any day. When selling a car, the dealer also tries to persuade the customer to

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Mean = 1.42

Variance = 0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: X denote the number of luxury cars sold in a given day, and Y denote the number of extended warranties sold.

Also, joint probability function of X and Y are given.

To find:

mean and variance of X

Solution:

From the given joint probability function of X and Y,

$P(X=0)=\frac{1}{6}\\P(X=1)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+2}{12}=\frac{3}{12}\\P(X=2)=\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1+4+2}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$

Mean of X:

$E(X)=\sum XP(X)\\=0\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{14}{12}\\=\frac{17}{12}=1.42$

Variance of X:

$E(X^2)=\sum X^2P(X)\\=0^2\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right )+1^2\left ( \frac{3}{12} \right )+2^2\left ( \frac{7}{12} \right )\\=0+\frac{3}{12}+\frac{28}{12}\\=\frac{31}{12}$

$var(X)=E\left [ X^2 \right ]-\left ( E\left [ X \right ] \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\left ( \frac{17}{12} \right )^2\\=\frac{31}{12}-\frac{289}{144}\\=\frac{372-289}{144}\\=\frac{83}{144}\\=0.58$
