Answer:

Triangle $\triangle KML$ is similar to the given triangle $\triangle JKL$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us analyze the given options one by one.

$\triangle JKM$ is not similar to the triangle $\triangle JKL$ because it is not written in correct order. The way we write the triangle (order of vertices) is very important. Since angles K of both the triangles are not equal, therefore, order is messed up. If the order had been $\triangle JMK$ then this would have been correct.

$\triangle MKL$ is not similar to triangle $\triangle JKL$ because the corresponding angles are not equal. Again the order it not right. If the order had been $\triangle KML$ , then this option would have been correct.

$\triangle KML$ is similar to the given triangle $\triangle JKL$ because corresponding angles of both the triangles are equal.

$\triangle LJK$ is not similar to the given triangle $\triangle JKL$ because the corresponding angles of the two triangles are not equal.

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event of interest is choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is $\binom{25}{6}$ , where $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$ . We have that $\binom{25}{6} = 177100$

Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in $\binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600$

So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by

$\frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31$

Vijay has an annual salary of 47,000, and his company pays him twice a month. What is the gross income in each paycheck that Vij

leonid [27]

Alright, so he has an annual salary of 47,000 dollars. Which means that he is paid 47,000 dollars in 12 months. You'll first have to calculate the pay Vijay receives each month, which is $\frac{47,000}{12 months}$ , or about $3,916.67 (I'll round up to 3917 for simplicity).

Now, he gets paid twice a month. So each paycheck is half of $3917. 3917 x (1/2) = $1958.50.

So each paycheck should be $1958.50 (this is a rounded figure).

The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean μ, the act

stealth61 [152]

Answer: 0.2551

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The temperature reading from a thermocouple placed in a constant-temperature medium is normally distributed with mean μ, the actual temperature of the medium, and standard deviation σ.

Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

The critical z-value for 95% confidence : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.960$ (1)

Since , $z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ (where x be any random variable that represents the temperature reading from a thermocouple.)

Then, from (1)

$\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=1.96\\\\ x-\mu=1.96\sigma$ (2)

Also, all readings are within 0.5° of μ,

i.e. $x-\mu$

i.e. $1.96\sigma$ [From (2)]

i.e. $\sigma$

i.e. $\sigma\approx0.2551$

The required standard deviation : $\sigma=0.2551$

Molly has cups of sugar. She used cup of sugar. She wants to model a subtraction problem on a number line to find how much sugar

vovangra [49]

I am going off the assumption that by "She used a cup of sugar" you mean that she used 1 cup of sugar. Since the model shows that her first step starts with 1.5, that means that she loses 1 cup, and moves 1 unit to the left. She is left with 0.5 cups of sugar.
B. She only moves 1 unit to the left.
