Answer: Pigeonhole Principle

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pigeonhole Principle espouses that if there are more objects than the places the objects are supposed to fit into, some of those places will have more than one object. For instance, if there are 20 pigeons and only 19 pigeonholes, one pigeonhole will have more than one pigeon.

If one hundred people in your neighbourhood leave between 7:30 and 8:00 A.M. and arrive 30 minutes later that means they will arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 A.M. This means that 100 people will have to arrive in 30 minutes.

We would have to fit 100 people in 30 minutes. The minutes are the pigeonholes and the people are the pigeons. There will therefore be a situation where at least 2 people will arrive at the same minute because there are many more people than minutes for them to arrive in.

HELP ASAP!!!!<br> Given (x, y ) = (5, 15). Find tan θ.
Darina [25.2K]
<span>tan θ is defined as the opposite/adjacent side to the angle in a triangle

in this case you have a triangle which forms from (0,0) to (5,0) and (5,15), with </span><span>θ at (0,0)

-> your x coordinate is the adjacent side, and y the opposite
</span>
<span>tan θ=opposite/adjacent=y/x=15/5=3</span>

6 There were 35 children and 10 adults at a cookout. What is the ratio of children to total people at the cookout?
Grace [21]
7:9 because there are 35 children and 10 adults. Add 35 and 10 you get 35:45 then you simplify the ratio to get 7:9.

If you entered your test scores correctly, then your choices are off the wall.

The mode is 89  

The mean is 85.833...  

There is not a mode of 91 !  

I hope this helps
