Based on the information given, the computation shows that the distance between them is 2.47 miles.

<h3>Solving the distance.</h3>

Since one has bearing 41°45', this will be: = 41° + (45/60) = 41° + 0.75 = 41.75°.

The other has bearing 59°13'. This will be:

= 59° + (13/60) = 59° + 0.22 = 59.22°.

The difference of the angles will be:

= 59.22° - 41.75°

= 17.47°

Let the distance between them be represented by c. Therefore, we'll use cosine law to solve the question. This will be:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos 17.47°

c² = 20² + 20² - (2 × 20 × 20 × 0.19)

c² = 6.07459

c = 2.47

The table show the age in years of employees in a company

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

A. 24 ≤ a < 26.

B. 22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Determination of the modal class interval.

Mode is the class with the highest frequency.

From the table given above, the highest frequency is 8, therefore the class will the highest frequency is:

24 ≤ a < 26.

B. To obtain the mean, we must determine the class mark. This is illustrated below:

Class >>>>> class mark >>> frequency

18 – 19 >>>> 18.5 >>>>>>>>> 3

20 – 21 >>> 20.5 >>>>>>>> 2

22 – 23 >>> 22.5 >>>>>>>> 7

24 – 25 >>> 24.5 >>>>>>>> 8

26 >>>>>>>> 26 >>>>>>>>> 0

The mean is given by the summation of the product of the class mark and frequency divided by the total frequency. This is illustrated below:

Mean = [(18.5x3) + (20.5x2) + (22.5x7) + (24.5x8) + (26x0)] / (3+2+7+8+0)

Mean = (55.5 + 41 + 157.5 + 196 + 0)/20

Mean = 450/20

Mean = 22.5

Therefore, the mean age is 22.5

What fraction of the dunk tanks require at least 500 gallons of water? Write the fraction in simplest form.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information observed from the attached box and whisker plot, the Fraction of dunk tanks which requires atleast 500 gallons of water. This fractional value will be the property of plot in the position marked as 500 on the plot. The point which refers to 500 gallons on the plot is the ticked point in between the box. This point represents the median value in a box and whisker plot.

The median value represents the 50th percentile value which relates to half of the distribution. This means that fraction of dunk which requires atleast 500 gallons is : (50/100) = 1/2

I need help with these questions for Quadratic functions

STALIN [3.7K]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

1. The general form of a quadratic in standard form* is ...

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

An example is ...

$f(x)=2x^2+3x-5$

The constant c is the y-intercept, so is the easiest bit of information to obtain in this form.

2. The general form of a quadratic in vertex form can be written as ...

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$

An example is ...

$f(x)=2(x -3)^2 -5$

The ordered pair (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola, so is easy to obtain in this form. Arguably, it may be easier to identify the line of symmetry, x=h, since that requires looking at only one constant, instead of two.

_____

* In the UK, "standard form" is vertex form.
