From the diagram we see there is a 90 degree angle, also the radius from a point B to the center of the circle is the same as the radius from the center of the circle to the right angle.
Let the radius be r.
sin a=opposite/adjacent
sin 76.6=r/(r+112)
0.973(r+112)=r
0.973r+108.976=r
r-0.973r=108.976
0.027r=108.976
r=108.976/0.027
r=4036.15 miles
the radius of earth will r=4036.15 miles

Write the equation of the line given the slope and the y-intercept. Type your answer in the box without skipping any spaces. m =
Over [174]

The equation of a line given the slope and y-intercept is given as;

             m(x-x₁) = (y-y₁)

∴equation of line with m = 2 and y-intercept = (0,3) =

     2(x - 0) = (y - 3)

 = 2x - 0 = y - 3

  making y the subject obtains y = 2x + 3.

so, equation of the line: y = 2x + 3.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 20% of all people 16 years of age or older do volunteer work. In this age grou
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

1. P(X≥35) = 0.0183

2. P(X≤21) = 0.0183

3. P(0.18<p<0.25) = 0.7915

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the proportion for women: pw=0.22, and the proportion for men: pm=0.19.

1. We have a sample of 140 woman and we have to calculate the probability of getting 35 or more who do volunteer work.

This is equivalent to a proportion of

p=X/n=35/140=0.25

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.22*0.78}{300}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0006}=0.0239

We calculate the z-score as:

z=\dfrac{p-p_w}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.25-0.22}{0.0239}=\dfrac{0.03}{0.0239}=0.8198

Then, the probability of having 35 women or more who do volunteer work in this sample of 140 women is:

P(X>35)=P(p>0.25)=P(z>2.0906)=0.0183

2. We have to calculate the probability of having 21 or fewer women in the group who do volunteer work.

The proportion is now:

p=X/n=21/140=0.15

We can calculate then the z-score as:

z=\dfrac{p-p_w}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.15-0.2}{0.0239}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.0239}=-2.0906

Then, the probability of having 21 women or less who do volunteer work in this sample of 140 women is:

P(X

3. For the sample with men and women, we use the proportion for both, which is π=0.2.

The sample size is n=300.

Then, the standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2*0.8}{300}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0005}=0.0231

We can calculate the z-scores for p1=0.18 and p2=0.25:

z_1=\dfrac{p_1-\pi}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.18-0.2}{0.0231}=\dfrac{-0.02}{0.0231}=-0.8660\\\\\\z_2=\dfrac{p_2-\pi}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.25-0.2}{0.0231}=\dfrac{0.05}{0.0231}=2.1651

We can now calculate the probabilty of having a proportion within 0.18 and 0.25 as:

P=P(0.18

A number p plus 7 is greater than 24
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

p is greater than or equal to 18

Step-by-step explanation:

18+7=25 so therefore p can be any number greater than 18 since it will be over 24
