we know that
Step 
in the right triangle XYZ
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
Find the value of ZY


Step 
in the right triangle XYZ
Find tan
°
we know that

in this problem
opposite side angle
is ZY
adjacent side angle
is XZ
so

therefore
the answer is

Answer:
0.3 or 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
The professors will only seek a smaller publisher if they cannot place the statistics book with a major publisher. If the probability of getting a major publisher is 40% and the probability of getting a smaller publisher is 50%, then the probability that the statistics book would wind up being placed with a smaller publisher is given by:

The probability is 0.3 or 30%.
X number of male students
Y number of female students
Z number of the adults
X=(1 + 7)Z=8Z
Y= X/2
X +Y +Z = 82
8Z +8Z/2 +Z=82 implies Z=82/26=3.1
so we take Z= 3
X= 24
and Y = 12
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
P(x) = 13x² – 10x + 350; 1,102 fish
Explanation:
I plotted this data in a graphing calculator. The screenshot is attached. You can see the curve of the parabola in the graph. I then ran the quadratic regression; again, the screenshot is attached. It lists the values of a, b and c for the equation y = ax²+bx+c.
