Answer: continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete random variable is defined as a random variable which consists of countable number. Examples include numbers of shoes, number of sales etc.

A continuous random variable is a random variable whereby the data can take several values. It is a random variable that takes time into consideration.

Therefore, the amount of time six randomly selected volleyball players play during a game will be a continuous random variable since time so involved.

Find sin20 if sin 0 = 3; 90° < 0 < 180°

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

$\sin 2 \theta = -\dfrac{4\sqrt 5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given that,}\\\\~~~~~~\sin \theta = \dfrac 23\\\\\implies \sin^2 \theta = \left( \dfrac 23 \right)^2\\\\\implies 1- \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac 49 \\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \dfrac 49 \\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac 59\\\\\implies \cos \theta = \pm\sqrt{\dfrac 59} \\\\\implies \cos \theta = \pm \dfrac{\sqrt 5 }3\\\\\text{Since}~ 90^\circ < \theta < 180^{\circ},~\text{the angle lies in 2nd quadrant}\left(\cos \theta ~\text{is negative}\right).\\\\$

$\text{So,}~ \cos \theta = - \dfrac{\sqrt 5 }{3}\\\\\text{Now,}\\\\\sin 2\theta = 2\sin \theta \cos \theta \\\\\\~~~~~~~~=2 \cdot \dfrac 23 \cdot \left( -\dfrac{\sqrt 5}{3} \right)\\\\\\~~~~~~~~=-\dfrac{4\sqrt 5}{9}$

$\textbf{Quadrant rule:}\\\\$

Check the picture below.

notice that the car exits the northbound highway, and whilst going at 50mph for 1.5 hours, that simply means going for 75 miles.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

3x+9y=12 <br>-3x-6y=18 <br>Solve the system by using elimination

Ivenika [448]

Answer: (x, y) = (-26, 10)

This means x = -26 and y = 10 pair up together

===============================================================

How to get that answer:

Add the equations straight down. Think of having 3 separate columns for the three different like terms.

3x + (-3x) becomes 0x and that's just 0. So the x terms go away
9y + (-6y) is the same as 9y-6y which turns into 3y
12 + 18 becomes 30

After all that, we're left with the simpler equation 3y = 30. That solves to y = 10 after dividing both sides by 3.

Plug this back into any equation involving x and y. Solve for x

3x+9y = 12

3x+9(10) = 12

3x+90 = 12

3x = 12-90

3x = -78

x = -78/3

x = -26

We have found that x = -26 and y = 10 pair up together to form the solution.

-------------------

Checking the answer:

Plug (x,y) = (-26, 10) into the first equation

3x+9y = 12

3(-26)+9(10) = 12

-78+90 = 12

12 = 12

We get a true equation since the same thing is on both sides.

Repeat the same idea for the second equation

-3x-6y = 18

-3(-26) - 6(10) = 18

78 - 60 = 18

18 = 18

The second equation is true as well.

Both equations are true, so the solution (x, y) = (-26, 10) is confirmed.
