The label on a ceiling lighting fixture warns you to use a lightbulb of 60 watts or less. The voltage to the lightbulb is 120 vo

lts. An intern calculated how much amperage a bulb of the maximum allowed wattage will draw. You are checking her work, shown below. If there is an error, what is the first step that has an error, and why is it an error?

Answer:

0.5 A

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

I believe the question is incomplete. However, as per the information provided:

The simplest way to calculate the Current (unit is Amperage), is understanding the relationship between the three: Power, Voltage and Current.

<em>(Quick Tip: </em><em>W=AV</em><em>; where W -> Watts (Power), A -> Ampere (Current), V -> Volts (Voltage))</em>

Using the formula we calculate the Ampere:

W = A x V

60 = A x 120

60/120 = A (We divide the equation be 120)

0.5 = A  (Simply reduce the fraction 60/120  = 1/2 = 0.5)

Is a diameter of circle O. If m∠ACB = 30°, what is m∠DBA? A. 30° B. 50° C. 60° D. 70° E. 90°
lesya692 [45]

Every triangle equals 180 degrees, and we're trying to find the angle of DBA. So, we can identify DAB as a 90 degree angle to start. Then we can identify that ACB = ADB, meaning ADB is 30 degrees. With that information, we have this equation:

DBA = 180 - 90 - 30

DBA = 60

In high-school 135 freshmen were interviewed.
timama [110]

Answer:

a) n(none) = 25

b) n(PE but not Bio) = 25

c) n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = 55

d) n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 40

e) P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Venn diagram drawn:

a) Number of students that took none

n(Freshmen) = 135

n(all three) = 5

n (PE and Bio) = 10

n(PE and Eng) = 15

n(Bio and Eng) = 7

n (PE and Bio only) = 10 - 5 = 5

n(PE and Eng only) = 15 - 5 = 10

n(Bio and Eng only) = 7 - 5 = 2

n(PE only) = 35 - 5 - 5 - 10 = 15

n(Bio only) = 42 - 5 - 5 - 2 = 30

n(Eng only) = 60 - 10 - 5 -2 = 43

n(Freshmen) = n(PE only) + n(Bio only) + n(Eng only) + n(PE and Bio only) + n(PE and Eng only) + n(Bio and Eng only) + n(all three) + n(none)

135 = 15 + 30 + 43 + 5 + 10 + 2 + 5 + n(none)

135 = 110 + n(none)

n(none) = 135 - 110

n(none) = 25

b)Number of students that too PE but not Bio

n(PE but not bio)= n(PE only) + n(PE and Eng only)

n(PE but not Bio) = 15 + 10

n(PE but not Bio) = 25

c) Number of students that took ENG but not both BIO and PE

n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = n(Eng only) + n(Eng and Bio only) + n(Eng and PE only) = 43 + 2 + 10

n(ENG but not both BIO and PE) = 55

d) Number of students that did not take ENG or BIO

n( students that did not take Eng or Bio) = n(PE only) + n(none)

n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 15 + 25

n(students that did not take Eng or Bio) = 40

e) Probability that a randomly-chosen student from this group did not take exactly two subjects

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = n(PE only) + n(Bio only) + n(Eng only)

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = 15 + 30 + 43

n( Students that did not take exactly two subjects) = 88

P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 88/135

P( Students did not take exactly two subjects) = 0.65

Which ordered pair is generated from the equation shown below? y = 3x - 1 A. (6, 18) B. (6, 17) C. (4, 12) D. (9, 8)
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

B 6,17

Step-by-step explanation: If you plug in the value of x from each of the choices only b gives the correct value of y. If you put 6 in the place of x in y= 3x-1    then y= 18-1 which is 17, and it does say 17 in 6,17.
