We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:

276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.

To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:

104/276 is about 0.3768.

Multiply this by 100:

37.68

So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer: -1.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean : \mu=100

Standard deviation : \sigma=20

Sample size : n=60

Sample mean : \overline{x}=96

The test statistic for the population mean is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{96-100}{\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{60}}}=-1.54919333848\approx-1.55

Hence, the value of z statistic = -1.55

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins worth at least $4.60 combined. If Jayden has 7 dimes, determine
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A dime is worth 10 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 10/100 = $0.1

A quarter is worth 25 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes 25/100 = $0.25

Let x represent the number of dimes that Jayden has.

Let y represent the number of quarters that Jayden has.

Jayden has some dimes and some quarters. He has at most 25 coins. It means that

x + y ≤ 25

The coins worth at least $4.60 combined. It means that

0.1x + 0.25y ≥ 4.6 - - - - - - - - - - 1

If Jayden has 7 dimes, then

7 + y ≤ 25

y ≤ 25 - 7

y ≤ 18

Substituting x = 7 into equation 1, it becomes

0.1 × 7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.7 + 0.25y ≥ 4.6

0.25y ≥ 4.6 - 0.7

0.25y ≥ 3.9

y ≥ 3.9/0.25

y ≥ 15.6

All possible values for the number of quarters that he could have would be

15.6 ≤ y ≤ 18

Evaluate sin(Arcos(-9/√145)).
tino4ka555 [31]

Use the fact that \sin x = \sqrt{1-\cos^2 x} to solve it.

\sin(\arccos(-\frac{9}{\sqrt{145}}))=\sqrt{1-\cos^2(\arccos(-\frac{9}{\sqrt{145}}))} =\\= \sqrt{1-(-\frac{9}{\sqrt{145}})^2}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{145}}

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is
Katarina [22]
Prove:

The angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle. 

The inscribed angle theorem states that the angle θ, inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle of the circle. So, if the given is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle.  <span />
