First, let's define what an angle bisector is. Suppose you draw an angle labeled RST where the vertex is at point S, as shown in the attached picture. The angle bisector is a line segment that is drawn from the vertex S and extended outwards, such that it divides the angle into two equal parts. In this case, the angle bisector is line segment SV. The orange angle represents the total angle equal to (8x-14)°. The half of the angle, denoted as the red curve, represents (3x + 5)°. Th equation to be used is:

∠RST = 2×∠RSV
8x - 14 = 2(3x+5)
8x-14 = 6x + 10
8x - 6x = 10+14
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12°

Answer-

The standard error of the confidence interval is 0.63%

Solution-

Given,

n = 2373 (sample size)

x = 255 (number of people who bought)

The mean of the sample M will be,

$M=\frac{x}{n} =\frac{255}{2373} =0.1075$

Then the standard error SE will be,

$SE=\sqrt{\frac{M\times (1-M)}{n}}$

$SE=\sqrt{\frac{0.1075\times (1-0.1075)}{2373}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.0959}{2373}}=0.0063=0.63\%$

Therefore, the standard error of the confidence interval is 0.63%

A team of 10 players is to be selected from a class of 6 girls and 7 boys. Match each scenario to its probability. You have to d

tankabanditka [31]

The selection of r objects out of n is done in

$C(n, r)= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ many ways.

The total number of selections 10 that we can make from 6+7=13 students is

$C(13,10)= \frac{13!}{3!(10)!}= \frac{13*12*11*10!}{3*2*1*10!}= \frac{13*12*11}{3*2}= 286$
thus, the sample space of the experiment is 286

A.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team includes all 6 girls in the class."

total number of group of 10 which include all girls is C(7, 4), because the girls are fixed, and the remaining 4 is to be completed from the 7 boys, which can be done in C(7, 4) many ways.

 $C(7, 4)= \frac{7!}{4!3!}= \frac{7*6*5*4!}{4!*3*2*1}= \frac{7*6*5}{3*2}=35$

P(all 6 girls chosen)=35/286=0.12

B.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team has 3 girls and 7 boys."

with the same logic as in A, the number of groups were all 7 boys are in, is

 $C(6, 3)= \frac{6!}{3!3!}= \frac{6*5*4*3!}{3!3!}= \frac{6*5*4}{3*2*1}=20$

so the probability is 20/286=0.07

C.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team has either 4 or 6 boys."

case 1: the team has 4 boys and 6 girls

this was already calculated in part A, it is 0.12.

case 2, the team has 6 boys and 4 girls.

there C(7, 6)*C(6, 4) ,many ways of doing this, because any selection of the boys which can be done in C(7, 6) ways, can be combined with any selection of the girls.

 $C(7, 6)*C(6, 4)= \frac{7!}{6!1}* \frac{6!}{4!2!} =7*15= 105$

the probability is 105/286=0.367

since case 1 and case 2 are disjoint, that is either one or the other happen, then we add the probabilities:

0.12+0.367=0.487 (approximately = 0.49)

D.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team has 5 girls and 5 boys."

selecting 5 boys and 5 girls can be done in

 $C(7, 5)*C(6,5)= \frac{7!}{5!2} * \frac{6!}{5!1}=21*6=126$

many ways,

so the probability is 126/286=0.44

The perimeter of the norwegian flag is 190 inches. What are the dimensions of the flag?

mario62 [17]

The dimensions are 40 inches by 55 inches.

Explanation:
We know that perimeter is the sum of all of the sides. Since this is rectangular, opposite sides are equal. This gives us
y+11/8y+y+11/8y=190.

Combining like terms, we have
2y+22/8y=190.

Writing 22/8 as a mixed number, we have
2y+2 3/4y=190
4 3/4y=190.

Divide both sides by 4 3/4:
(4 3/4y)÷(4 3/4)=190÷(4 3/4)
y=190÷(4 3/4).

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
y=190÷(19/4).

To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
y=190*(4/19)=760/19=40.

Since y=40, 11/8y=11/8(40)=440/8=55.

Roberta invested $600 into a mutual fund that paid 4% interest each year compounded annually. Write an exponential function of t

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The exponential equation is A = 600(1.04)^15

The value of the mutual fund after 15 years is $1,081

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the mutual fund after the number of years can be represented using the compound interest equation below;

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where A is the value of the mutual fund after 15 years, P is the initial amount invested which is $600, r is the interest rate which is 4% or 0.04(4% = 4/100 = 0.04), n is the number of times we are compounding per year(which is 1 since it is a one time payment per year) and t is the number of years which is 15

Let's plug these values, we have;

A = 600(1 + 0.04/1)^15

A = 600(1.04)^15

A = $1,081 approximately
