Answer:

The number of people who owned computers last year was 1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is as follows:

  • The number of people who own computer in a small town is 2400.
  • This is 60% more than the number who owned computer last year.

Let <em>X</em> denote the number of people who owned computer last year.

And <em>Y</em> denote the number of people who owned computer this year.

Then:

Y = X × (100% + 60%)

2400=X\times 1.60\\\\X=\frac{2400}{1.60}\\\\X=1500

Thus, the number of people who owned computers last year was 1500.

The sum of two numbers is -5 and their difference is -1. Find the two<br> numbers.
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

x=-3 and y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y

x+y=-5

x-y=-1

therefore x=-5-y

-5-y-y=-1

-2y=-1+5

-2y=4

y=-2

×=-5-(-2)

x=-5+2

x=-3

If n = 10 and p = 0.70, then the standard deviation of the binomial distribution is
Leya [2.2K]
For a binomial distribution, the variance is
\sigma^2=npq=np(1-p)=10*0.7*0.3=2.1
\sigma=standard\,deviation=\sqrt{2.1}=1.449 (to 3 decimal places)

Carly and Carter are comparing bedrooms. They are each getting new carpet and are trying to figure out which room will be the mo
Softa [21]

Answer:

Carter's bedroom would cost more to carpet than Carly's because the floor area of the former is about five square feet greater than the floor area of Carly's bedroom.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of either of these floors is found by multiplying length by width:

A = L*W.

Carly's bedroom is 15.3 ft by 8.7 ft; multiplying, we get A = 133.11 ft^2

Carter's is 14.4 ft by 9.6 ft:  A = 138.24 ft^2

Carter's bedroom area (138.24 ft^2) is about 5 ft^2 larger than Carly's and would thus cost more to carpet.

Find one positive and one negative coterminal angle to 2.7 Radians:
Pavlova-9 [17]

the two coterminal angles to the given one are:

8.98 rad and -3.58 rad

<h3>How to find coterminal angles?</h3>

For a given angle A in radians, the family of coterminal angles is defined as:

B = A + n*(2*pi)

Where pi = 3.14 rad

Where n can be any integer number.

In this case, we have an angle of 2.7 radians, then the coterminal angles are:

B = 2.7 rad + n*(6.28 rad)

One positive is what we get if we select n = 1, then:

B = 2.7 rad + 1*(6.28 rad) = 8.98 rad.

And if we select n = -1, we get the negative coterminal angle:

B' = 2.7 rad - 1*(6.28 rad) = -3.58 rad

Then the two coterminal angles to the given one are:

8.98 rad and -3.58 rad
