M=30°; N=20°; MN=10 units; PN=?
In this case, we have one side MN=10 units, and the two adjacent angles, angle M=30° and angle N=20°. This is an ASA triangle (Angle Side Angle), and we can solve it using the Law of Sines:
PN / sin M=MN / sin P 
PN / sin 30°=10 / sin P
angle P=?

angle M + angle N + angle P=180°
30°+20°+angle P=180°
50°+angle P=180°
Solving for angle P:
50°+angle P -50°=180°-50°
angle P=130°

Replacing in the Law of sines:
PN / sin 30°=10 / sin P
PN / sin 30°=10 / sin 130°
Solving for PN. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 30°:
sin 30°(PN/sin 30°)=sin 30°(10/sin 130°)
PN=10 sin 30°/sin 130°
PN=10(0.5)/0.766044443
PN=6.527036448
Rounded to one decimal place:
PN=6.5

Answer: Second option 6.5 units

Question 6 The mineral content of a particular brand of supplement pills is normally distributed with mean 490 mg and variance o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 490 mg and variance of 400.

This means that \mu = 490, \sigma = \sqrt{400} = 20

What is the probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 500. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{500 - 490}{20}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Consider the system of linear equations. x + y = 9.0 0.50 x + 0.20 y = 4.05 Find the values of x and y .
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

x=7.5

y=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 9.0

subtract x from both sides

y=9-x

0.50x + 0.20y= 4.05

0.50 x +0.20(9-x)= 4.05

0.50x+1.8-0.2x= 4.05

combine like terms

0.30x+1.8= 4.05

subtract 1.8 from both sides

0.30x=2.25

divide both sides by 0.3

x=7.5

y=9-x

y=9-7.5

y=1.5

A semi-ellipse-shaped gate has a maximum height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet, both measured along the center. Can a truck w
Free_Kalibri [48]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

We are given a semi-ellipse gate whose dimensions are as follows:

  Height of 20 feet and a width of 15 feet.

Now, if a truck is loaded then:

Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 16 feet

The truck won't pass through the gate since the width of truck is more than that of the gate.

When the truck is not loaded then:

 Height of truck is: 12 feet and a width of truck is: 10 feet

The truck would easily pass through  the gate since, the dimensions of truck are less than that of the gate.

A trapezoid has a base of 4.5 inches, a height of 6 inches, and an area of 21 square inches. The equation below can be used to d
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

b_2 =  -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21

Required

Determine the value of T

\frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21

Multiply both sides by 2

2 * \frac{1}{2}(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 21 * 2

(4.5 + b_2) * 6 = 42

Divide through by 6

4.5 + b_2 = 42/6``

4.5 + b_2 = 7

b_2 =  7 - 4.5

b_2 =  -2.5

In electrical engineering, the unwanted "noise" in voltage or current signals is often modeled by a Gaussian (i.e., normal) dist
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Cov(X, Y) =0.029.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The noise in a particular voltage signal has a constant mean of 0.9 V. that is μ = 0.9V ............(1)

Also, the two noise instances sampled τ seconds apart have a bivariate normal distribution with covariance.

0.04e–jτj/10 ............(2)

Having X and Y denoting the noise at times 3 s and 8 s, respectively, the difference of time = 8-3 = 5seconds.

That is, they are 5 seconds apart,

τ = 5 seconds..............(3)

Thus,

Cov(X, Y), for τ = 5seconds = 0.04e-5/10

= 0.04e-0.5 = 0.04/√e

= 0.04/1.6487

= 0.0292

Thus, Cov(X, Y) =0.029.
