Answer:

In this data set, the number 8 is an outlier.

An outlier is a value that is far away from the rest of the numbers (either a lot smaller or a lot greater).

Because there is an outlier, the measure of center that best represents the data would be the median (the middle value).

The mean will not be accurate because the outlier will make it smaller than what is actually being represented in all of the numbers but one.

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer: 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order of the numbers doesn't matter we can use the formula:

$\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\quad \text{where n is the quantity of items and r is the quantity chosen}\\\\\text{In this problem, there are 10 numbers (n = 10) and 7 to be chosen (r = 7)}\\\\_{10}C_{7}=\dfrac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10!}{7!3!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{7!\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\.\qquad=10\times 3\times 4\\\\.\qquad=120$

Answer:

TO FIND :-

Length of all missing sides.

FORMULAES TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

$\sin \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\cos \theta = \frac{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}{Hypotenuse}$
$\tan \theta = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \theta}{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \theta}$

SOLUTION :-

1) θ = 16°

Length of side opposite to θ = 7

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 16 = \frac{7}{x}$

$=> \frac{7}{x} = 0.27563......$

$=> x = \frac{7}{0.27563....} = 25.39568.....$ ≈ 25.3

2) θ = 29°

Length of side opposite to θ = 6

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \sin 29 = \frac{6}{x}$

$=> \frac{6}{x} = 0.48480......$

$=> x = \frac{6}{0.48480....} = 12.37599.....$ ≈ 12.3

3) θ = 30°

Length of side opposite to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 11

$=> \sin 30 = \frac{x}{11}$

$=> \frac{x}{11} = 0.5$

$=> x = 0.5 \times 11 = 5.5$

4) θ = 43°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 12

$=> \cos 43 = \frac{x}{12}$

$=> \frac{x}{12} = 0.73135......$

$=> x = 12 \times 0.73135.... = 8.77624....$ ≈ 8.8

5) θ = 55°

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

Hypotenuse = 6

$=> \cos 55 = \frac{x}{6}$

$=> \frac{x}{6} = 0.57357......$

$=> x = 6 \times 0.57357.... = 3.44145....$ ≈ 3.4

6) θ = 73°

Length of side adjacent to θ = 8

Hypotenuse = x

$=> \cos 73 = \frac{8}{x}$

$=> \frac{8}{x} = 0.29237......$

$=> x = \frac{8}{0.29237.....} = 27.36242.....$ ≈ 27.3

7) θ = 69°

Length of side opposite to θ = 12

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 69 = \frac{12}{x}$

$=> \frac{12}{x} = 2.60508......$

$=> x = \frac{12}{2.60508....} = 4.60636....$ ≈ 4.6

8) θ = 20°

Length of side opposite to θ = 11

Length of side adjacent to θ = x

$=> \tan 20 = \frac{11}{x}$

$=> \frac{11}{x} = 0.36397......$

$=> x = \frac{11}{0.36397....} =30.22225....$ ≈ 30.2

Simplify each expression 1.) (7+x) + 7x Pls show your work

Papessa [141]

The answer is 14x.

You always have to do whats in the parenthesis first. In this case you would do 7 + x = 7x. Then, you add this 7x to the other 7 x. 7x+7x=14x.
