Semmy [17]

Answer:

702 emails

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>This problem bothers on depreciation of value, in this context it is Joe's email that has depreciated by 10%.</h2>

Given data

Average personal emails received monthly = $780 emails$

Average work emails received monthly $= 760 emails$

We are required to solve for the new amount of emails Joe will be receiving after changing his address, to find this value we need to solve for the depreciation of his personal mails.

After solving for the depreciation , we then need to subtract the depreciation from the initial number of mails to get the new number of mails.

let us solve for 10% depreciation.

$depreciation= \frac{10}{100} *780\\depreciation=0.1*780= 78 emails$

The new number of mails

$= initial number of mail- depreciation\\ =780-78= 702 emails$

Joe will be receiving an average of 702 emails in his personal account monthly

If cos Θ = square root 2 over 2 and 3 pi over 2 < Θ < 2π, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?

KIM [24]

Answer:

The answer is

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

In this problem we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{3\pi}{2}$

so

The angle $\theta$ belong to the third or fourth quadrant

The value of $sin(\theta)$ is negative

Step 1

Find the value of $sin(\theta)$

Remember

$sin^{2}(\theta)+cos^{2}(\theta)=1$

we have

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$sin^{2}(\theta)+(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}=1$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=1-\frac{1}{2}$

$sin^{2}(\theta)=\frac{1}{2}$

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ ------> remember that the value is negative

Step 2

Find the value of $tan(\theta)$

$tan(\theta)=\frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}$

we have

$sin(\theta)=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$cos(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

substitute

$tan(\theta)=\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}$

$tan(\theta)=-1$

1) A family consisting of three persons—A, B, and C—goes to a medical clinic that always has a doctor at each of stations 1, 2,

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us record the station number 1, 2 or 3 for each family member A, B or C.

I am attaching a table containing total outcomes. Outcomes are presented along rows while the assigned station to each member is written along columns. For ease of understanding, 1 3 2 in the table should be interpreted as family member A being assigned to station 1, member B to station 3 and member C to station number 2, respectively.

From table it is clear that the total outcomes possible are 27.

We know that, probability can be defined as,

$PROBABITILY = \frac{NUMBER\;OF\;DESIRED\;OUTCOMES}{TOTAL\;NUMBER\;OF\;OUTCOMES}$

a) All Members Assigned to the Same Station.

Cases for all members being assigned to same station are as follows:

[1 1 1], [2 2 2], [3 3 3] (outcome number 1, 14 and 27 in the table).

Therefore,

$PROBABILITY\;(Case\;a) = \frac{3}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;a) = 0.111$

b) At Most Two Members Assigned to the Same Station.

It means that maximum of 2 members can have the same station. Cases for this situation are as follows:

[1 1 2], [1 1 3], [1 2 1], [1 2 2], [1 3 1], [1 3 3], [2 1 1], [2 1 2], [2 2 1], [2 2 3], [2 3 2],

[2 3 3], [3 1 1], [3 1 3], [3 2 2], [3 2 3], [3 3 1], [3 3 2]

(outcome number 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25 and 26 in the table).

Therefore,

$PROBABILITY\;(Case\;b) = \frac{18}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;b) = 0.666$

c) All Members Assigned to a Different Station.

For this scenario, we have the following results:

[1 2 3], [1 3 2], [2 1 3], [2 3 1], [3 1 2], [3 2 1] (outcome number 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 22 in the table).

Therefore,

$PROBABILITY\;(Case\;c) = \frac{6}{27}\\\\PROBABILITY\;(Case\;c) = 0.222$
