Answer:

2 is the largest possible value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Length of one side       = 9

Length of second side = 16

Let AB and BC sides of triangle be of length 9 and 16 respectively as shown in figure attached.

Now, let sides AD and CF be the respective altitudes.

Also, ∠ABC = ∅ (as shown in figure)                                    

If AD and CF are the respective altitudes then,

we have

       AD = 9Sin∅ ;

       CF = 16Sin∅;

By dividing both sides, we get

       AD/CF = 9/16

This equation shows that is independant of angle ∅.

Now, let ∠BAC = α

Now we have, BE = 9 sinα

and                   FC = AC sinα

By dividing both sides, we get

       BE/FC=9/AC

Similarly we also have,

       BE/AD = 16/AC

ABC is a triangle as long as length of AC is ithin range of 8 to 24 i.e, 8≤AC≤24 (because sum of any two sides of triangle should be greater than length of third side)

Using these values we get ranges of:

9/24 ≤ BF/FC ≤ 9/8  ;  2/3 ≤ BE/AD ≤ 2

So,

2 is the largest possible value of the ratio of any two of these altitudes.

A distribution of values is normal with a mean of 188 and a standard deviation of 20.8. Find the probability that a randomly sel
padilas [110]

Answer:0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean= 188, Std Dev. =20.8, Z=(x-mean)/Std Dev

P(X less than 167.2)= P(Z less than (167.2-188)/20.8)

=P(Z less than (-20.8/20.8))

=P(z less than -1)= P(Z less 1)

The value of 1 in the normal distribution table is 0.3413

So we add 0.5 to 0.3413 =0.8413

tankabanditka [31]

The credit card industry and cigarette industry are very similar in terms of negative influence on personal finances.

<h3>What is credit card?</h3>

A credit card is a sort of payment card that uses a line of credit rather than the account holder's cash deposits to make purchases.

Tobacco use can have a negative impact on personal finances due to the sheer high price of tobacco products, wasted pay owing to sickness absence, plus hospitalization rates due to the higher risk of illness associated with smoking use.

If you let that debt grow, you may find that the amount of interest you owe equals or even exceeds your original principal, forcing you to spend a lot just to pay it off.

Thus, the credit card industry and cigarette industry are very similar in terms of negative influence on personal finances.

For consumers making purchases online, 60% have devices made by Apple, 85% own a smartphone, and 75% use Venmo. Also, out of the
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone or both is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple = 60%

The percentage of customers that own a smartphone = 85%

The percentage of customers that use Venmo = 80%

The percentage out of the smartphone users that use Venmo = 80%

The probability both independent events A and B occurring = P(A) × P(B)

The exclusive probability of A or B occurring P(A XOR B) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B)

Therefore, the probability of A or B or both occurring is given as follows;

P(A or B or Both) = P(A) + P(B) - 2 × P(A ∩ B) + P(A) × P(B)

Where A represent the percentage of costumers that have a device made by Apple and let B represent the percentage of users that have a smartphone, we have;

P(A or B or Both) = 0.6 + 0.85 - 2×0.6×0.85 + 0.6 × 0.85 = 0.94

Therefore, the probability that a customer selected at random has an Apple device or own a smartphone (or both), P(A or B or Both) = 0.94

Answer:

Beginning in the 6th century BC with the Pythagoreans, the Ancient Greeks began a systematic study of mathematics as a subject in its own right with Greek mathematics. Around 300 BC, Euclid introduced the axiomatic method still used in mathematics today, consisting of definition, axiom, theorem, and proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first recorded zero appeared in Mesopotamia around 3 B.C. The Mayans invented it independently circa 4 A.D. It was later devised in India in the mid-fifth century, spread to Cambodia near the end of the seventh century, and into China and the Islamic countries at the end of the eighth.
