It sounds like everything is being described in reference to angle A, so a good starting point is to pick a variable to represent the measure of angle A. I'm going to use "a" for that.

Next, I'm going to take the verbal descriptions in the problem and "translate" them into "math language". They say angle B is 5 times angle A, so that means the measure of angle B is actually 5a. The size of angle C is 5 degrees less than 4 times the size of A, so that translates to 4a-5.

We now know the following:

Angle A: a
Angle B: 5a
Angle C: 4a-5

Now, to find the value of a, we need to remember that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So we have: a+5a+4a-5 = 180

We can solve that equation by combining like terms to get: 10a-5=180

We can add 5 to both sides: 10a =185

And divide by 10: a = 18.5

That tells us the measure of angle A! (It's 18.5 degrees). Now we can go back and find B by multiplying A by 5. We get 92.5 degrees for that.

Finally, we can find C by taking 4*18.5-5. We get 69 degrees for that.

One last thing-- let's check that they really do add up to 180! 69+92.5+18.5 = 180. Yep!

Hope that helps you!!

Kenny has a 1/3 probability of getting a hit and a 1/6 probability of drawing a base-on-balls every time he appears at the plate
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

He expects that his bonus will be $210,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each plate appearence, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he gets on base(base hit or bases-on-balls), or he does not. The probability of getting on base on each plate appearence is independent of other plate appearences. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

600 plate appearances this year

So n = 600.

Expected number of hits

p = \frac{1}{3}

So

E(X) = np = 600\frac{1}{3} = 200

Expected number of base on balls.

p = \frac{1}{6}

So

E(X) = np = 600\frac{1}{6} = 100

Bonus

$1,000 for each hit and $100 for each base-on-balls he gets.

200*1,000 + 100*100 = 210,000

He expects that his bonus will be $210,000.
