Answer:

We get ∠A =40° and ∠B = 140° and ∠B = 140° is measure of larger angle

Step-by-step explanation:

we have ∠A = (2x − 30)° and ∠B = 4x, and we need to find measure of larger angle. And ∠A and ∠A are supplementary angles.

If the angles are supplementary there sum is equal to 180° i.e ∠A + ∠B = 180°

So, First we have to find the value of x. and then we can determine larger angle.

We know: ∠A + ∠B = 180

2x-30+4x=180

6x-30=180

6x=180+30

6x=210

x=210/6

x=35

So, value of x is x=35

Now finding ∠A and ∠B

∠A = (2x − 30)°

∠A = (2(35) − 30)°

∠A = (70 − 30)°

∠A =40°

and ∠B = 4x

∠B = 4(35)

∠B = 140°

So, we get ∠A =40° and ∠B = 140° and ∠B = 140° is measure of larger angle

Consider the steps for determining the quotient of 12/x-4 / 4/x-4

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Quotient = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the given expression :

$\dfrac{\dfrac{12}{x-4}}{\dfrac{4}{x-4}}$

It can be done as follows :

As, $\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{b}}{\dfrac{c}{d}}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{d}{c}$

So,

$\dfrac{\dfrac{12}{x-4}}{\dfrac{4}{x-4}}=\dfrac{12}{x-4}\times \dfrac{x-4}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=3$

Hence, the required quotient is 3.

The hour hand of a clock moves from 6

svp [43]

90 degrees. Looking at a clock, 12 o'clock going all the way around and back is a 360 degree spin. So 12, 3, 6, and 9 are all 1/4 of a 360 degree spin. If you divide 360 by, you would get a 90 degree turn for each of those numbers mentioned above.

A train that is 1 mile long starts through a tunnel that is also 1mile long . The train is traveling 15 miles per hour. How long

bearhunter [10]

12 minutes because it is three miles into for the train to go completely in and out (one mile for the nose to enter, on mile for the nose to exit and tail enter, and one mile for tail to exit). 3/15=x/60

Based on a poll, 60% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is

skad [1K]

Answer:

The probability that at least one of them is careful about personal information is 0.9744.

If the survey subjects volunteered to respond, then this a voluntary sampling and the estimated probability p may be biased, as only the people interested in the topic participate.

Given the subject of the survey, it is estimated that the ones who answered the survey are more careful about personal information and then the propability p is biased to a higher level than it should be if the sample was random.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a random variable, with sample size n=4 and probability of success p=0.6.

The probability that k individuals are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot in the sample is:

$P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{4}{k}\cdot0.6^k\cdot0.4^{4-k}$

We have to calculate the probability that 1 or more are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. This can be calculated as:

$P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{4}{0}\cdot0.6^{0}\cdot0.4^{4}=1\cdot1\cdot0.0256=0.0256\\\\\\P(x\geq1)=1-0.0256=0.9744$

The probability that 1 or more individuals in the sample are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot is 0.9744.
