Answer:

equation: 3(8 + x) - 12 = 1/2 x

answer: -4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(8 + x) - 12 = 1/2 x

24 + 3x - 12 = 1/2 x

12 + 3x = 1/2 x

12 = - 2 1/2 x

- 4.8 = x

What do you know about the side lengths and trigonometric ratios in special right triangles

TEA [102]

Explanation:

This looks like an essay question with no right answer.

__

There are two "special" right triangles:

isosceles 45°-45°-90° triangle with sides in the ratios 1 : 1 : √2

30°-60°-90° triangle with sides in the ratios 1 : √3 : 2

These side lengths give rise to the trigonometric ratios shown below for angles with 30°, 45°, or 60° as reference angles.

When commercial aircraft are inspected, wing cracks are reported as nonexistent, detectable, or critical. The history of a parti

Kamila [148]

Answer:

0.226

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

No wing crack (x) = 70%

Detectable wing crack (y) = 25%

Critical wing crack (z) = 5%

Number of samples (n) = 5

Probability that atleast a plane has critical crack:

1 - p(no critical crack)

Using the multinomial distribution calculator :

P(5,0,0) + p(4,1,0) + p(3,2, 0) + p(2,3,0) + p(1,4,0) + p(0,5,0)

From the calculator :

P(5,0,0) + p(4,1,0) + p(3,2, 0) + p(2,3,0) + p(1,4,0) + p(0,5,0) = 0.7741

1 - 0.7741 = 0.2259

= 0.226

In class A, John got 85 for his first test John's class mean was 75 and standard deviation was 5. In class B, Kathy got 80 in he

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

b. Kathy

Step-by-step explanation:

We compare each of their score by how far away from the mean when in term of the standard deviation. Using the following formula

$\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

For John he is (85 - 75)/5 = 2.

For Kathy she is (80 - 50)/10 = 3.

Since Kathy is 3 standard deviation better than her class' average, while John is only 2's. We conclude that Kathy did better.
