The measure of an angle is two times the measure of a supplementary angle. what is the measure of each angle

1 answer:

5 0

Let the angles be x and (180-x).

Let 2x = 180-x.

Then 3x = 180, and x = 60. One angle is 60 degrees and the other is 180-60, or 120, degrees.

A box contains 5 red and 5 blue marbles. Two marbles are withdrawn randomly. If they are the same color, then you win $1.10; if

topjm [15]

Answer:

a) The expected value is $\frac{-1}{15}$

b) The variance is $\frac{49}{45}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that both marbles are withdrawn at the same time. We will define the probability as follows

#events of interest/total number of events.

We have 10 marbles in total. The number of different ways in which we can withdrawn 2 marbles out of 10 is $\binom{10}{2}$ .

Consider the case in which we choose two of the same color. That is, out of 5, we pick 2. The different ways of choosing 2 out of 5 is $\binom{5}{2}$ . Since we have 2 colors, we can either choose 2 of them blue or 2 of the red, so the total number of ways of choosing is just the double.

Consider the case in which we choose one of each color. Then, out of 5 we pick 1. So, the total number of ways in which we pick 1 of each color is $\binom{5}{1}\cdot \binom{5}{1}$ . So, we define the following probabilities.

Probability of winning: $\frac{2\binom{5}{2}}{\binom{10}{2}}= \frac{4}{9}$

Probability of losing $\frac{(\binom{5}{1})^2}{\binom{10}{2}}\frac{5}{9}$

Let X be the expected value of the amount you can win. Then,

E(X) = 1.10*probability of winning - 1 probability of losing = $1.10\cdot \frac{4}{9}-\frac{5}{9}=\frac{-1}{15}$

Consider the expected value of the square of the amount you can win, Then

E(X^2) = (1.10^2)*probability of winning + probability of losing = $1.10^2\cdot \frac{4}{9}+\frac{5}{9}=\frac{82}{75}$

We will use the following formula

$Var(X) = E(X^2)-E(X)^2$

Thus

Var(X) = $\frac{82}{75}-(\frac{-1}{15})^2 = \frac{49}{45}$

Naty bought a dress for $24.95 and a skirt for $14.95.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Total items = $39.90

Sales tax amount = $3.7905

Total cost = $43.691

The clerk's error is using 9.5 as sales tax amount instead of finding 9.5% of the total items

Step-by-step explanation:

Dress = $24.95

Skirt = $14.95

steps the clerk completed.

Step 1: 24.95 + 14.95 = 39.90

Step 2: 39.90 +9.5 = 49.40

Correct steps:

Total items = dress + skirt

= $24.95 + $14.95

= $39.90

Sales tax = 9.5%

Sales tax amount = 9.5% of total

= 9.5/100 × $39.90

= 0.095 × 39.90

= $3.7905

Total cost = Total + sales tax amount

= $39.90 + $3.7905

= $43.6905

To the nearest hundredth

= $43.691

Sales tax is the amount of money imposed by government on the sales of some items

Total cost is the cost of all items including sales tax

Answer:

x= -8 , y = 5

x= 25/4 , y = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

substitute first eqn into the second eqn:

(7 - 3y)^2 -y^2 = 39

49 - 42y + 9y^2 - y^2 = 39

8y^2 - 42y +10 =0

4y^2 - 21y + 5 = 0

(4y-1) (y-5) = 0

y= 1/4 , 5

when y=1/4

x = 7- 3/4

=25/4

when y= 5

x = 7- 15

= -8

What is the total price of a $45.79 item when a 7% taxe is added

meriva

Answer:

$42.58

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply the price of the item (45.79) by the percentage as a decimal (0.07) and subtract the product.

in this case:

45.79x0.07 = 3.205 (rounded 3.21)

45.79-3.21 = 42.58
