Answer:

109.5; B

Step-by-step explanation:

From your identity,

CosA = adjacent/ hypothenus

A represent an arbitrary angle between the sides in question.

In the question above, A=64

Hypothenus is the longest side and adjacent is the side just below the angle .

In the above case,

Hypothenus= X

adjacent =48

This means;

Cos64 = 48 /X

X = 48 / cos64; [ from cross multiplication and diving through by cos64]

X = 48 /0.4383 [ cos64 in radian = 0.4383]

= 109.51

= 109.5 to the nearest tenth.

Note( do your calculation of angle in radian or else, you won't get the answer)

Answer:

A. P(X<20,000) = 0.0392

B. P(20,000 < x < 30,000) = 0.488

C. Amount = $39,070

Step-by-step explanation:

From XO group website

Cost of a wedding = $29,858

Mean, μ = $29,858

Standard Deviation, σ =$5,600

a. Calculating the probability that a wedding costs less than $20,000

P(X<20,000)?

First, the z value needs to be calculated.

z = (x - μ)/σ

x = 20,000

z = (20,000 - 29,858)/5600

z = -1.76

So, P(X<20,000) = P(Z<-1.76)

From the z table,

P(Z<-1.76) = 0.0392

P(X<20,000) = 0.0392

b. Calculating the probability that a wedding costs between $20,000 and $30,000

P(20,000 < x < 30,000)

First, the z value needs to be calculated.

z = (x - μ)/σ

When x = 20,000

z = (20,000 - 29,858)/5600

z = -1.76

When x = 30,000

z = (30,000 - 29,858)/5600

z = 0.02

P(20,000 < x < 30,000) = P(-1.76 < z <0.02) --- using the z table

P(-1.76 < z <0.02) = 0.508 - 0.0392

P(-1.76 < z <0.02) = 0.4688

P(20,000 < x < 30,000) = 0.488

c. Using the following formula, we'll get the amount it'll a wedding to be among the 5% most expensive

z = (x - μ)/σ where x = amount

Make x the subject of formula

x = σz + μ

Fist we need to get the z value of 5%

z0.05 = 1.645

x = σz + μ becomes

x = 5600 * 1.645 + 29,858

x = $39,070

Amount = $39,070

If the zeros are 1 and -4, what are the factors?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(x - 1) and (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros of a polynomial, say x = a, x = b then the factors are

(x - a), (x - b) and the polynomial is the product of the factors, that is

f(x) = (x - a)(x - b)

Here the zeros are x = 1 and x = - 4, thus the factors are

(x - 1) and (x - (- 4)), that is (x - 1) and (x + 4)

Oh no! Thomas is lost in the GGBL building after an exam, and trying to get out. Thereare four identical hallways leading away f

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each and every one of the 4 hallways is equally likely then

$P(H1)=1/4P(H2)=1/2P(H3)=1/4$

Now, if he chooses H1 he escapes after 12 minutes then

$E(T|H1)=12$

If he chooses H2 then he wastes 10 minutes and then he is again in the same starting

position so he expects to escape in E(T) minutes, then

$E(T|H2)=10+E(T)$

Analogously, if he chooses H3 then he wastes 40 minutes and then he is again in the same starting

position so he expects to escape in E(T) minutes, then

$E(T|H3)=40+E(T)$

Therefore

$E(T) = E(T|H1)P(H1) + E(T|H2)P(H2) + E(T H3)P(H3) = (12) + (E(T) +10) + (E(T) + 40) = 3+ *E(T)+5+ 10 = E(T) +18 CON A'$

So we have

$E(T) = E(T) + 18 E(T) = 18 E(T) = 4(18) = 72$

Therefore he is expected to escape in 72 minutes
