The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio 1 : 4. What are the degree measures of the two angles?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the angles are complementary, they add to 90°. So we can write the equation:
x represents the first angle, and 4x represents the second
x+4x=90
5x=90
x=18

So the first angle is 18° and the second is 72° (18*4)

Which point slope form equations could be produced with the points (3,2) and (4,6)

Anika [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of a line given two points first find the slope of the line and use the formula

y - y1 = m( x - x1) to find the Equation of the line using any of the points given

Slope of the line using points

(3,2) and (4,6) is

$m = \frac{6 - 2}{4 - 3} = \frac{4}{1} = 4$

So the equation of the line using point

Answer:

a) The mean is 900 and the standard deviation is 15.

b) 100% probability that at least 800 students accept.

c) 0.05% probability that more than 950 will accept.

d) 94.84% probability that more than 950 will accept

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

(a) What are the mean and the standard deviation of the number X of students who accept?

$n = 1200, p = 0.75$ . So

$E(X) = np = 1200*0.75 = 900$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1200*0.75*0.25} = 15$

The mean is 900 and the standard deviation is 15.

(b) Use the Normal approximation to find the probability that at least 800 students accept.

Using continuity corrections, this is $P(X \geq 800 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 799.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 799.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{799.5 - 900}{15}$

$Z = -6.7$

$Z = -6.7$ has a pvalue of 0.

1 - 0 = 1

100% probability that at least 800 students accept.

(c) The college does not want more than 950 students. What is the probability that more than 950 will accept?

Using continuity corrections, this is $P(X \geq 950 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 949.5)$ , which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 949.5. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{949.5 - 900}{15}$

$Z = 3.3$

$Z = 3.3$ has a pvalue of 0.9995

1 - 0.9995 = 0.0005

0.05% probability that more than 950 will accept.

(d) If the college decides to increase the number of admission offers to 1300, what is the probability that more than 950 will accept?

Now n = 1300. So

$E(X) = np = 1300*0.75 = 975$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{1200*0.75*0.25} = 15.6$

Same logic as c.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{949.5 - 975}{15.6}$

$Z = -1.63$

$Z = -1.63$ has a pvalue of 0.0516

1 - 0.0516 = 0.9484

94.84% probability that more than 950 will accept

A rectangular floor is 18ft long and 12 ft wide. Lamar wants to carpet the floor with carpet tiles sold by square yard. Use the

WITCHER [35]

Solution

The dimension of the rectangular floor is 18ft long and 12 ft wide

Using the conversion table

It is given that 1yd =3 ft

This shows that

12 feet will be equivalent to

$\frac{12}{3}=4yd$

Also 18ft will be equialent to

$\frac{18}{3}=6yd$

Therefore the new dimension is 6 yard by 4 yard

The area will be

$A=6\times4$

Therefore the required area is

$A=24yd^2$
