Answer:

<em>The correct option is:  C.  185 ft</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In \triangle ABC, m\angle B=103.2° and m\angle C=14.4°

<em>As the sum of three angles in any triangle is always 180°</em>, so m\angle A= 180-(103.2+14.4)=180-117.6=62.4°

Given that, BC= 661\ ft

<u>Using the Sine rule</u>, we will get......

\frac{AB}{Sin(C)}=\frac{BC}{Sin(A)}\\ \\ \frac{AB}{Sin(14.4)}=\frac{661}{Sin(62.4)}\\ \\ AB=\frac{661*Sin(14.4)}{Sin(62.4)}=185.492...\approx 185\ ft

Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails. Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails. Aadi is going to throw
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

(1) The correct option is (A).

(2) The probability that Aadi will get Tails is \frac{2}{5}.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that:

  • Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails.
  • Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails.

The probability of tail in both cases is:

  • P(\text{Tail})=\frac{3}{10}
  • P(\text{Tail})=\frac{20}{50}=\frac{2}{5}

(1)

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

In this case we need to compute the proportion of tails.

Then according to the Central limit theorem, Sue's estimate is best because she throws it <em>n = </em>50 > 30 times.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

(2)

As explained in the first part that Sue's estimate is best for getting a tail, the probability that Aadi will get Tails when he tosses the coin once is:

P(\text{Tail})=\frac{20}{50}=\frac{2}{5}

Thus, the probability that Aadi will get Tails is \frac{2}{5}.

Solve this system using matrices:
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form

a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)

a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)

.

am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)

Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the

xi

’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of

the form constant × x

Solving Linear Systems of Equations

We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear

equations.

Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.

x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)

x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)

2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)

We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1

in terms of x2 and x3

x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)

1

and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations

(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5

(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1
