Answer:

The probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is 0.426.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of Americans who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

The probability of the random variable <em>X</em> is,

P (X) = 0.574

The event of a person not believing that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is the complement of the event <em>X</em>.

The probability of the complement of an event, <em>E</em> is the probability of that event not happening.

P(E^{c})=1-P(E)

Compute the value of P(X^{c}) as follows:

P(X^{c})=1-P(X)\\=1-0.574\\=0.426

Thus, the probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is 0.426.

Answer:

Probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = 0.426 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a poll showed that 57.4% of Americans say they believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life.

Let the above probability that % of Americans who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = P(A) = 0.574

Now, probability of randomly selecting someone who does not believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life is given by = 1 - Probability of randomly selecting someone who believe that statistics teachers know the true meaning of life = 1 - P(A)

So, required probability = 1 - 0.574 = 0.426 .

Consider the sequence below
GalinKa [24]

Answer: option D is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference.

The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as

Tn = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

d represents the common difference.

n represents the number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = - 351

d = - 343 - - 351 = - 343 + 351

d = 8

Therefore, the explicit function which defines the sequence is

f(n) = - 351 + 8(n - 1)

f(n) = 8n - 8 - 351

f(n) = 8n - 359

In triangle KLM, if K is congruent to L, KL = 9x - 40, LM = 7x - 37, &amp; KM = 3x + 23, find x &amp; the measure of each angle.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: x = 15, ∠K = 45.7°, ∠L = 45.7°, ∠M = 88.6°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since ∠K ≅ ∠L, then ΔKLM is an isoceles triangle with base KL

 KM ≅ LM

3x + 23 = 7x - 37

       23 = 4x - 37

       60 = 4x

        15 = x

KM = LM = 3x + 23

               = 3(15) + 23

               = 45 + 23

               = 68

KL = 9x - 40

    = 9(15) - 40

    = 135 - 40

    = 95

Next, draw a perpendicular bisector KN from K to KL. Thus, N is the midpoint of KL and ΔMNL is a right triangle.

  • Since N is the midpoint of KL and KL = 95, then NL = 47.5
  • Since ∠N is 90°, then NL is adjacent to ∠l and ML is the hypotenuse

Use trig to solve for ∠L (which equals ∠K):

cos ∠L = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos ∠L = \frac{47.5}{68}

      ∠L = cos⁻¹ (\frac{47.5}{68})

      ∠L = 45.7  

Triangle sum Theorem:

∠K + ∠L + ∠M = 180°    

45.7 + 45.7 + ∠M = 180

       91.4     + ∠M = 180

                      ∠M = 88.6

Please help I’m really confused and need to learn this
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

For #2, another way to word this question is: For which of the following trig functions is π/2 a solution? Well, go through them one by one. If you plug π/2 into sinθ, you get 1. This means that when x is π/2, y is 1. Try and visualize that. When y is 1, that means you moved off the x-axis; so y = sinθ is NOT one of those functions that cross the x-axis at θ = π/2. Go through the rest of them. For y = cos(π/2), you get 0. At θ = π/2, this function crosses the x-axis. For y = tanθ, your result is undefined, so that doesn't work. Keep going through them. You should see that y = secθ is undefined, y = cscθ returns 1, and y = cotθ returns 0. If you have a calculator that can handle trig functions, just plug π/2 into every one of them and check off the ones that give you zero. Graphically, if the y-value is 0, the function is touching/crossing the x-axis.

Think about what y = secθ really means. It's actually y = 1/(cosθ), right? So what makes a fraction undefined? A fraction is undefined when the denominator is 0 because in mathematics, you can't divide by zero. Calculators give you an error. So the real question here is, when is cosθ = 0? Again, you can use a calculator here, but a unit circle would be more helpful. cosθ = π/2, like we just saw in the previous problem, and it's zero again 180 degrees later at 3π/2. Now read the answer choices.

All multiples of pi? Well, our answer looked like π/2, so you can skip the first two choices and move to the last two. All multiples of π/2? Imagine there's a constant next to π, say Cπ/2 where C is any number. If we put an even number there, 2 will cut that number in half. Imagine C = 4. Then Cπ/2 = 2π. Our two answers were π/2 and 3π/2, so an even multiple won't work for us; we need the odd multiples only. In our answers, π/2 and 3π/2, C = 1 and C = 3. Those are both odd numbers, and that's how you know you only need the "odd multiples of π/2" for question 3.

Convert -3pi/10 to degrees
ipn [44]

we know there are 180° in π radians, how many degrees then in -3π/10 radians?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} degrees&radians\\ \cline{1-2} 180&\pi \\\\ x&-\frac{3\pi }{10} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\pi }{~~-\frac{3\pi }{10}~~}\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{\pi}{1} }{~~-\frac{3\pi }{10}~~} \\\\\\ \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\pi }{1}\cdot \cfrac{10}{-3\pi }\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=-\cfrac{10}{3}\implies 540=-10x\implies \cfrac{540}{-10}=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill -54=x~\hfill
