<h3>Answer: 35 (choice C)</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

For any triangle, the three interior angles always add to 180.

D+E+F = 180

(7b+1) + (2b+1) + (b+8) = 180

(7b+2b+b) + (1+1+8) = 180

10b+10 = 180

10b = 180-10

10b = 170

b = 170/10

b = 17

Use this value of b to find the three angle measures

D = 7b+1 = 7*17+1 = 119+1 = 120
E = 2b+1 = 2*17+1 = 34+1 = 35 degrees
F = b+8 = 17+8 = 25

As a check,

D+E+F = 120+35+25 = 120+60 = 180

which helps confirm the correct answers.

Luden [163]

9 x 8 = 72
155 - 72 = 83
83 divided by 6 =13.8

So he has to make at least 14 deliveries in order to reach his goal.

What is three fourths plus one third plus two sixths

Goshia [24]

You need to get a common denominator. 3/4= 9/12 because 3x4=12 and 3x3=9. you must do the same thing to both sides. 1/3=4/12 because 3x4=12 and 1x4=4.
2/6=4/12 because 6x2=12 and 2x2=4. 9/12+4/12+4/12=17/12, or 1 5/12. You keep the denominator and add the numerators.

A bird is flying at an elevation of 3 5/8 feet above sea level. A fish swims directly under the bird at a depth of 5 1/3 feet be

Stells [14]

Given :

Distance of bird from sea level, $d_1 = 3\dfrac{5}{8} = \dfrac{29}{8}\ feet$ .

Distance between fish and sea level, $d_2=5\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{16}{3}\ feet$ .

To Find :

Distance between bird and fish.

Solution :

Distance between bird and fish is given by :

$D=d_1+d_2\\\\D = \dfrac{29}{8}+\dfrac{16}{3}\\\\D=8.958\ feet$

Therefore, distance between bird and fish is 8.958 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.

You have an SRS of size 8 and calculate the one-sample t statistic. What is the critical value t∗ such that (a) t has probabilit

Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) "=T.INV(1-0.02,7)"

And we got $t_{crit}= 2.518$

b) "=T.INV(0.85,7)"

And we got $t_{crit}= 1.119$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have a sample size of n=8, so we can find the degrees of freedom like this:

$df = n-1 = 8-1 =7$

Part a

For this case we need a value who accumulates 0.02 of the area in the right of the t distribution with 7 degrees of freedom so we can use the following excel code:

"=T.INV(1-0.02,7)"

And we got $t_{crit}= 2.518$

Part b

For this case we need a value who accumulates 0.85 of the area in the left of the t distribution with 7 degrees of freedom so we can use the following excel code:

"=T.INV(0.85,7)"

And we got $t_{crit}= 1.119$
