Of 340 male and 270 female employees at the home office of Gibraltar Insurance Company, 170 of the men and 180 of the women are

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.486.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees at the home office of Gibraltar Insurance Company is 270 + 340 = 610

Number of employees on flex time are 350, out of which 170 are men and 180 are women.

We need to find the probability that out of the given employees, a randomly chosen one is on flex time and is a man.

Favorable outcomes are 170 and total outcome is 350.

Thus the probability is given by $\frac{170}{350}$ = 0.4857≈ 0.486

Let u = (1, k) and v = (2, 1). Find k such that The distance between u and v is 1 u and v are orthogonal The angle between u and

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:k=1,k=-2,k= $8\pm 5\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two vectors

$u=1\hat{i}+k\hat{j}$

$v=2\hat{i}+1\hat{j}$

$\left ( i\right )$ Distance between them is given by

$|u-v|=\sqrt{\left ( 2-1\right )^2+\left ( 1-k\right )^2}=1$

squaring both side

$1^{2}+\left ( 1-k\right )^2=1$

$k^2-2k+1=0$

$\left ( k-1\right )^2=0$

k=1

$\left ( ii\right )$

angle between u and v is 90 i.e. orthogonal

$u\dot v=0$

$\left ( 1\hat{i}+k\hat{j}\right )\dot \left ( 2\hat{i}+1\hat{j}\right )$ =0

2+k=0

k=-2

$\left ( iii\right )$

angle between u & v is $\frac{\pi }{3}$

$u\dot v=|u||v|cos\left (\frac{\pi }{3}\right )$

$|u|=\sqrt{1^2+k^2}$

$|v|=\sqrt{2^2+1^2}$

$2+k=\left ( \sqrt{1+k^2}\right )\left ( \sqrt{5}\right )cos\left ( \frac{\pi }{3}\right )$

$\left ( 4+2\right )^2=\left ( 1+k^2\right )5$

$k^2-16k-11$ =0

k= $8\pm 5\sqrt{3}$

tatuchka [14]

Well because they want 1000 dollars profit they need the inequality "15x is greater than or equal too 1700 dollars" But overall if you divide 1700 by 15 and round up on the decimal you get 114. So 114 is your answer.
