Answer:

x = 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Complementary angles measure 90°

3x + (x - 2)° = 90°

=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°

=> 4x - 2° = 90°

Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation

i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°

=> 4x = 92°

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4

=> 4x/4 = 92°/4

x = 23°

Jeremy is having his basketball team over for an end-of-season party. He has $80 to spend on pizza and soda. Pizzas cost $13.99

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

13.99p + 4.49s ≤ 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Pizza is p and soda is s. If he has only $80 to spend on a combination of both, he cannot obviously spend more than that. Therefore, the inequality sign is "less than or equal to". He can spend 80, but he can also spend less than 80. He cannot spend anything over that, since he doesn't have it to spend!

If pizzas are represented by p, and we know the cost of each one is 13.99, we represent one pizza as 13.99p; if the cost of sida is 4.49 per case, we represent one case as 4.49s.

The sum of these cannot exceed 80, so the inequality, then, is:

13.99p + 4.49s ≤ 80

The following are the answer to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the numeric value is missing which is defined in the attached file please fine it.

Calculating the probability of the distribution for x:

$\to f(x) = 0.19\ for \ x=14\\\\\to f(x) = 0.29 \ for\ x=7\\\\\to f(x) = 0.38\ for \ x=1\\\\\to f(x)=0.14 \ for \ x=0\\$

The formula for calculating the mean value:

$\bold{ E(X)= x \times f(x)}$

$=14 \times 0.19+7 \times 0.29+1 \times 0.38+0\times 0.14\\\\=2.66 + 2.03+0.38+ 0\\\\=5.07$

$\bold{E(X^2) = x^2 \times f(x)}$

$=14^2 \times 0.19+7^2 \times 0.29+1^2 \times 0.38+0^2 \times 0.14 \\\\=196 \times 0.19+ 49 \times 0.29+1 \times 0.38+0 \times 0.14\\\\= 37.24+ 14.21+ 0.38+0 \\\\=51.83$
