Out of 8 men, 4 can be selected and lined up in (8 x 7 x 6 x 5) = 1,680 ways.
But within that number, each group of 4 appears in (4 x 3 x 2) = 24 orders.
So there are (1,680 / 24) = 70 different groups of men.

Out of 5 women, 3 can be selected and lined up in (5 x 4 x 3) = 60 ways.
But within that number, each group of 3 appears in (3 x 2) = 6 orders.
So there are (60 / 6) = 10 different groups of women.

Each different group of 70 men can be joined by any of the 10 groups
of women. So the total number of possible subcommittees is (70 x 10) = 700 .

one angle of a linear pair is 10 more than two thirds the other angle. find the measure if both angles
BigorU [14]

Answer:

One Angle = 110°

Other Angle = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair means that two angles are in a straight line (or, a straight angle).

A straight line is 180 degrees.

THey are supplementary.

We can say one angle is "a" and another one is "b".

<em>One angle is 10 MORE THAN 2/3rds of the other, we can write:</em>

<em>a=\frac{2}{3}b+10</em>

<em />

<em>Also, since they are supplementary (add up to 180), we can write:</em>

<em>a + b = 180</em>

<em />

We can now substitute 1st equation in this one and find b:

a+b=180\\(\frac{2}{3}b+10)+b=180\\\frac{2}{3}b+b=180-10\\\frac{5}{3}b=170\\b=\frac{170}{\frac{5}{3}}\\b=170*\frac{3}{5}\\b=110

Since a + b = 180, we can write:

a + 110 = 180

so,

a = 180 - 110

a = 70

Thus,

One Angle = 110°

Other Angle = 70°

Un globo busca aterrizar en medio de dos ciudades A y B, cuya distancia entre si es de 200 km. Si se mide el ángulo de elevación
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

h \approx 59.898\,km

Step-by-step explanation:

El diagrama trigonométrico que representa el enunciado es incluido abajo como adjunto. Las siguientes relaciones trigonométricas describen la localización del globo. (The trigonometric diagram representing the statement is included below as attachment. The following trigonometric relations describes the location of the balloon):

\tan 27^{\circ} = \frac{h}{x}

\tan 36^{\circ} = \frac{h}{200-x}

A continuación, se obtiene la distancia horizontal: (The horizontal distance is obtained hereafter):

x \cdot \tan 27^{\circ} = (200-x)\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}

x \cdot (\tan 27^{\circ} + \tan 36^{\circ})= 200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}

x = \frac{200\cdot \tan 36^{\circ}}{\tan 27^{\circ}+ \tan 36^{\circ}}

x \approx 117.557\,km

La altura aproximada del globo es (The approximated height of the globe is):

h = x\cdot \tan 27^{\circ}

h \approx 59.898\,km

You are a pharmacy technician. You need to prepare a 0.85-gram dose of a liquid antibiotic. The medicine is concentrated at 250
Xelga [282]

Answer:

17mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 0.85 gr to miligrams

If 100 mg is 1 gr. Then, 0.85 gr is 850 mg

So, 850 multiply for 5ml and divide for 250 ml

or 850mg  \frac{5ml}{250mg}

So all mg is gone and the amount of mililiters is 17

) for a particular diamond mine, 77% of the diamonds fail to qualify as "gemstone grade". a random sample of 112 diamonds is ana
sweet [91]

We use the z statistic:

z = (x – u) / s

 

But first let us calculate the standard deviation s, sample x and mean u.

s = sqrt (n p q)

s = sqrt (112 * 0.77 * (1 – 0.77))

s = 4.45

 

x = 0.81 * 112 = 90.72

 

u = 0.77 * 112 = 86.24

 

So the z score is:

z = (90.72 – 86.24) / 4.45

z = 1.00

 

From the standard tables, the P value at z = 1.00 using right tailed test is:

<span>P = 0.1587 = 15.87%</span>
