Answer:

The correct answer is B) 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the vaccine is already and is 80% effective. This means that if the entire population was administered with the vaccine, only 8/10 would gain immunity leaving 2/10 or 0.2 exposed.

If the new vaccine, therefore, is supposed to be 90% effective, it is only pragmatic to administer it against those who do not have immunity which is 0.2 of the existing population.

So to get the percentage that will develop immunity, we have:

0.2 x 0.9 = 0.18 or 18%

Cheers!

Use the following triangle to find Sec theta.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

sec(theta) is defined as: sec(\theta)=\frac{1}{cos(\theta)} = \frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}

In the diagram you provided the hypotenuse of the triangle is sqrt(41) and the opposite side is 5, using these two sides, we can solve for the adjacent side by using the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

So this gives us the equation where a=adjacent side:

a^2+5^2=\sqrt{41}^2

a^2+25=41

Subtract 25 from both sides

a^2=16

Take the square root of both sides

a=4

So now plug this into the definition of sec(theta) and you get: \frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}. This is in most simplified form since 41, has no factors besides 41 and 1.

The measure of the complement of angle a is 185 less than two times the measure of the supplement of angle
Jet001 [13]

(90-A)+185 = 2(180-A)

185+90-A = 360-2A

275 = 360-A

A = 360-275 = 85
