Melisande collected 14 bottles on Saturday and 9 bottles on Sunday for recycling. On Monday, she took all the bottles to the rec

ycling center, where they paid her a certain amount, b, for each bottle. However, she had to pay the recycling center a one-time service fee of $0.25. If she left there with $3.20 for the bottles, what is the value of b?

Answer: The value of b is $0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bottles co0llected = 14+9 =23

Payment for each bottle = b

Total payment she will get = 23b

One -time service fee = $0.25

She has left = $3.20

According to the question,

23b - 0.25 = 3.20

⇒23b = 3.20+0.25

⇒23b = 3.45

⇒b = 0.15   [divide both sides by 23]

Cost of each bottle = $ 0.15

hence, the value of b is $0.15.

There are four activities on the critical path, and they have standard deviations of 1, 2, 4, and 2. what is the probability tha
Anit [1.1K]

Standard deviations of the four activities of the critical path are 1,2,4,2.

Standard deviation of this critical path = Sum of square root of variance of this corresponding critical path

Standard deviation of critical path =\sqrt{1^2+2^2+4^2+2^2}

=\sqrt{1+4+16+4}

=\sqrt{25}

=5

Now we need to find the probability that the project will completed in 38 weeks given that its expected completion time is 40 weeks.

That is, we need to find P(X<38) :

z=\frac{38-40}{5}= \frac{-2}{5}=-0.4

P(X

Probability =0.5-0.16=0.34

Thus the probability that the project will be completed in 38 weeks is 0.34.

Which of the following could be the ratio of the length of the longer leg of a 30-60-90 triangle to the length of its hypotenuse
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Ratio of longer leg to hypotenuse is;  \sqrt{3} : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the special right angle triangle 30°-60°-90°  as shown below in the figure.

  • The side opposite the 30° angle is always the shortest because 30 degrees is the smallest angle.
  • The side opposite the 60° angle will be the longer leg, because 60 degrees is the mid-sized degree angle in this triangle.
  • Finally , the side opposite the 90° angle will always be the largest side(Hypotenuse) because 90 degrees is the largest angle.

In 30°−60°−90° right triangle,

  • the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg,also
  • the length of the longer leg is \sqrt{3} times the length of the shorter leg.

Then:

the sides are in proportion i.e,  1:\sqrt{3} :2

Therefore, the ratio of the length of the longer leg to the length of its hypotenuse is:  \sqrt{3} : 2

Karolina [17]

Answer:

We need a non-included side of one triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

By means of the AAS postulate.

The Angle-Angle-Side postulate (AAS) tells us that if two angles and a non-included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the corresponding non-included side of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
