Can anyone answer this question about angles!
TiliK225 [7]

Isosceles triangle, angle P = angle Q.

3x + 10 = x + 52

2x = 42

x = 21

Congruent angles are both x+52=73 degrees.  Triangle angles add to 180 so

y = 180 - 73 - 73 = 34 degrees

The manager at the local auto shop has found that the probability that a car brought into the shop requires an oil change is 0.8
Ber [7]

Answer:

0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two events A and B, the probability that either A or B occurs is given by:

p(A\cup B) = p(A)+p(B)-p(A\cap B)

where

p(A) the probability that A occurs

p(B) is the probability that B occurs

p(A\cap B) is the probability that both A and B occur at the  same time

In this problem, we know the following facts:

p(o) = 0.83 is the probability that the car requires an oil change

p(b)=0.17 is the probability that the car requires a brake repair

p(o\cap b) = 0.15 is the probability that the car requires both an oil change and brake repair

Therefore, the probability that either o (car requiring oil change) or b (car requiring brake repait) occur is:

p(o\cup b)=p(o)+p(b)-p(o\cap b)=0.83+0.17-0.15 = 0.85

teacher gives 5 students a multiple choice test, in which each problem is worth 1 point and there is no penalty with negative po
mamaluj [8]

The mean is the average value of a given set of numbers, and the median is the number in the middle of a set of numbers arranged in increasing order

The correct values as response to the questions are;

The minimum possible <em>top score</em> is <u>21</u>

The maximum possible <em>top score</em> is <u>32</u>

The <em>minimum </em>of the possible <em>standard deviation</em> is approximately <u>1.26</u>

The <em>maximum </em>of the possible <em>standard deviation</em> is approximately <u>11.7</u>

<u />

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

<u />

The given parameters are;

The number of students that take the test, n = 5

The amount of points for each problem = 1 point

The median score = 9

The mean Score = 10

Required:

The minimum possible score;

The maximum possible top score

The minimum of the possible standard deviations

The maximum of the possible standard deviations

Solution:

Given that there is a score (the median) which is 9, we have;

The scores obtainable in the test is Scores ≥ 9

Therefore, for a score of 10, we have;

The minimum total points obtainable = Mean × Number of students

Therefore;

Total minimum total points obtainable by the 5 students = 5 × 10 = 50

  • The minimum possible top score

By arrangement, with the median at the middle, the minimum possible top score is given as follows;

0, 0, 9, 20, 21

Therefore, the minimum possible top score is <u>21</u>

<u />

  • The maximum possible top score

The maximum possible top score is similarly given by arrangement of the numbers as follows'

0, 0, 9, 9, 32

The maximum possible top score is <u>32</u>

<u />

  • The minimum standard deviation

By arrangement and selection, the minimum standard deviation is given as follows;

The minimum of the possible standard deviations of (9, 9, 9, 11, 12) ≈ <u>1.26</u>

  • The maximum of the possible standard deviation

The maximum of the possible standard deviation is given as follows;

The maximum of the possible standard deviation of (0, 0, 9, 9, 32) ≈ <u>11.7</u>

<u />
