Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student must have thought that every single arrowhead is a line of symmetry, so since there are 10 arrowheads, there must be 10 lines of symmetry. This is incorrect because if you look closely at the diagram, each line has 2 arrowheads, so the student is overcounting by a factor of 2. They should have just counted the number of lines, not arrowheads. Therefore, there must be 10/2 = 5 lines of symmetry, not 10. Hope this helps!

Answer: Assuming the riders starts at the position (20, 0) on the x-axis, the exact position of the rider will be (20cos75, 20sin75) or about (5.18, 19.32).

The angle for 5pi/12 radians is 75 degrees. Therefore, to find the position we can use the sine and cosine of 75 to find the x and y value of the coordinate.

For the y-value, we can write and solve:
sin75 = x/20

For the x-value, we can write and solve:
cos75 = x/20

Manny used 8 tenth-size parts to model 8/10. Ana used fewer parts to model an equivalent fraction. How does the size of a part i

It should be bigger, think of a pie:
if you cut it into 2 parts, the pieces are big
if you cut it into 4 parts, the pieces are smaller

in both parts, the AMOUNT OF PIE stays the same, the size changes

here, we cut out 8 / 10 pieces, (manny)
ana has the same WHOLE amount, but in BIGGER pieces because she has an amount less than 8.

It works if you REDUCE THE FRACTION, 8/10 can be REDUCED to 4/5, Ana's pieces should be twice as big as Manny's, but she only has 4

A random sample of 250 juniors majoring in psychology or communication at a large university is selected. These students are ask

fenix001 [56]

Solution :

It is given that :

Number of students in a random sample majoring in communication or psychology at an university = 250

Total number of students majoring in psychology = 100

Number of students majoring in psychology those who are happy = 80

So number of students majoring in psychology those who are not happy = 20

Total number of students majoring in communication = 250 - 100 = 150

Number of students majoring in communication those who are happy = 115
