Answer: 51,53,55,57

Discussion. By the triangle inequality the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than or equal to the third side. In our case, 3 + 54 = 57, so the third side must be less than or equal to 57.

Consider a uniform distribution created by a random number generator. The distribution looks like a square with a length of 1 an

The rigorous way to do this would be to compute a few integrals, but less work is usually better. Each of these probabilities correspond to the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle will have a height of 1, and the probability of interest will tell you everything you need to know about their lengths.

$\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)\implies \text{length}=0.4\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.4\times1=0.4$

$\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le1)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.6$

Alternatively, you can use the fact that $\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le 1)=1-\mathbb P(0\le X\le 0.4)$ to get the same result.

$\mathbb P(X>0.6)=\mathbb P(0.60.6)=0.4$

$\mathbb P(X\le0.6)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(X\le0.6)=0.6$

$\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)\implies \text{length}=0.76-0.23=0.53\implies\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)=0.53$

a wheelchair ramp has a rise from the ground of 1 foot. the ramp has a length of 14 feet. to the nearest degree, find the angle

sergey [27]

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA helps you remember the relevant trig relationship is
Sin(α) = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(α) = (1 ft)/(14 ft)
α = arcsin(1/14) ≈ 4°

The angle the ramp makes with the sidewalk is 4°.

Of the 240 sandwiches Joanna makes 20% are tuna sandwiches and 40% are jam sandwiches, and the rest are egg salad sandwiches.How

nikitadnepr [17]

240 = 100%
so 10% = 24 sandwiches
all - (tuna) - (jam) = egg
100% - 20% - 40% = 40%
40% = 10%*4
40% = 24*4 = 96

the answer is 96 egg salad sandwiches
