Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 3/4

b) 1/4

c) 1/2

d) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A tosses one coin while B tosses two coins

a) P( B wins given A gets 0 heads )

In this scenerio for B to win, he needs to get at least 1 head i.e.  P( B gets at least one heads)

  =  1 - P(B get no head)

  =  1 -  (1/2)^2  = 3/4

b) P( B wins given A gets 1 head )

For B to win when A gets 1  head means that B will have to get 2 heads

i.e. P( B gets 2 heads ) = P( one head )^2 = ( 1/2 )^2 = 1/4

c) P( B wins )

P ( B wins ) = P(A get 0 head and B gets at least one head) + P(A get 1 head and B get 2 head)

= ( 1/2 * 3/4 ) + ( 1/2 * 1/4 ) = 1/2

d) P ( B wins the new game )

Given that: A tosses two(2) coin while B tosses three(3) coins

P( B ) = P(A gets 0 head and B gets one head) +  P(A get 1 head and B get 2 or 3 heads )  +    P(A get 2 head and B gets 3 heads )

=[ (1/4 *(1 -1/8) ] +  (1/2 * 1/2)  +   ( 1/4 * 1/8 )= 1/2

The difference between the measures of two complementary angles is 56 determine the measures of the two angles. The larger angle has a measure of? And the smaller angle has a measure of?

Answers

Answer:

Larger angle= 73, smaller angle= 17

Step-by-step explanation:

I wrote an equation, and x is the measure of one of the angles

90=2x-56

90+56=2x-56+56

146=2x

73=x

One of the angles is 73, so subtract 53 from 73 to find the second angle. 73+56=17

You can make sure it adds up to a complementary angle by seeing if 17+73=90

Which of the following correctly names a side of the triangle below?


A. ZC
B. B
С. АВ
D. AABC

Answers

Answer:

C. [tex]\frac{}{AB}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this in two ways, firstly by eliminating all the wrong answers, and secondly by just knowing that the horizontal line in [tex]_[/tex][tex]\frac{}{AB}[/tex] means that we are talking about a line.

This is how we solve this question by using the eliminating process.

(A. ∠C) is not the right answer because the ∠ sign lets us know that this answer represents an angle, not a line

(B. B) is not the right answer because it represent a point, not a line (in math we use a singular capital letter to represent points)

(D. ΔABC) is not the right answer because the Δ sign lets us know that the answer represents a triangle, not a line.

Therefore, the only option left is C. [tex]\frac{}{AB}[/tex]

(-5, 4)

Answers

Given:

The coordinates of point P are (-5,4).

Point P is reflected over the x-axis.

To find:

The new coordinates after the reflection.

Solution:

If a point is reflected across the x-axis, then the rule of reflection is:

[tex](x,y)\to (x,-y)[/tex]

Using this rule, we get

[tex]P(-5,4)\to P'(-5,-4)[/tex]

The new coordinates of point P after the reflection over the x-axis are (-5,-4).

Therefore, the correct option is B.

a. Jan: 140

b. Joel: 156

c. Juan: 196

d. Linda: 191

e. Robert: 183

f. Susan: 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean, positive z-scores are above the mean, negative are below the mean and 0 is the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Question a:

Robert, Juan and Linda had positive z-scores, so they scored above the mean, and the correct options are c,d,e.

(b) Which of these students scored on the mean?

Joel, which had a z-score of 0, so the correct option is b.

(c) Which of these students scored below the mean?

Jan and Susan had negative z-scores, so them, options a and f.

Question d:

We have that [tex]\mu = 156, \sigma = 24[/tex], so we have to find X for each student.

Jan:

Z = -0.65. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-0.65 = \frac{X - 156}{24}[/tex]

[tex]X - 156 = -0.65*24[/tex]

[tex]X = 140[/tex]

b. Joel

Z = 0, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]0 = \frac{X - 156}{24}[/tex]

[tex]X - 156 = 0*24[/tex]

[tex]X = 156[/tex]

c. Juan

Z = 1.66, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.66 = \frac{X - 156}{24}[/tex]

[tex]X - 156 = 1.66*24[/tex]

[tex]X = 196[/tex]

d. Linda

Z = 1.46. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.46 = \frac{X - 156}{24}[/tex]

[tex]X - 156 = 1.46*24[/tex]

[tex]X = 191[/tex]

e. Robert

Z = 1.11. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.11 = \frac{X - 156}{24}[/tex]

[tex]X - 156 = 1.11*24[/tex]

[tex]X = 183[/tex]

f. Susan

Z = -1.9. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.9 = \frac{X - 156}{24}[/tex]

[tex]X - 156 = -1.9*24[/tex]

[tex]X = 110[/tex]

Someone pls help…. We need to find m angle f

Answers

Answer:

m<F = 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the value of x. This can be obtained as follow:

m<C = 50

m<A = (10x – 5)

m<B = m<G = (2x + 15)

m<C + m<A + m<B = 180 (Sum of angles in a triangle)

50 + (10x – 5) + (2x + 15) = 180

50 + 10x – 5 + 2x + 15 = 180

50 – 5 + 15 + 10x + 2x = 180

60 + 12x = 180

Collect like terms

12x = 180 – 60

12x = 120

Divide both side by 12

x = 120 / 12

x = 10

Finally, we shall determine the value of m<F. This can be obtained as follow:

m<F = m<A

But

m<A = 10x – 5

x = 10

Therefore,

m<F = 10x – 5

m<F = 10(10) – 5

m<F = 100 – 5

m<F = 95°
