The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three-point attempt or pass the ball to another player who will shoot a two-point shot. The point guard makes three-point shots 30 percent of the time, while his teammate makes the two-point shot 48 percent of the time.

There are 400,000 grains of sugar in a small bag of sugar that weighs 0.24 kilograms.

To find out how many grains of sugar are there in a small bag of sugar that weighs 0.24 kilograms, based on Marcus' estimate, follow these steps:

1. Convert the mass of the bag of sugar from kilograms to grams: 0.24 kg * 1000 g/kg = 240 g.
2. Use Marcus' estimate of the mass of a grain of sugar: 6 x 10^-4 g.
3. Divide the total mass of the bag of sugar by the mass of a single grain of sugar: 240 g / (6 x 10^-4 g/grain).

Now, let's perform the calculation:
240 g / (6 x 10^-4 g/grain) = 240 g / 0.0006 g/grain = 400,000 grains.

The sector angle formed by the cone when it is opened is 54°.

V = 95.4 cm³

r = 2.4 cm

Calculating the height of the cone using the volume formula,

V= 1/3 x π x r² x h

Substituting the values -

95.4 = 1/3 x 3.14 x 2.4² x h

95.4 = 6.03 x h

h = 15.8 cm

Calculating the slant height using  the Pythagoras theorem -

l = √(h² + r²)

Substituting the values -

l = √(15.8² + 2.4²)

l = 16

Calculating the curved surface area of the cone -

To determine a second pair of corresponding angles from KJN and LJM that are congruent, we can start by identifying the first pair of corresponding angles.

angle JKN is  harmonious to angle LJM. thus, we need to find another brace of corresponding angles that involve these same two angles.   One possibility is to look at the  perpendicular angles formed by the  crossroad of KJ and JM. Angle KJM is  perpendicular to angle NJL. therefore, angle KJM in KJN corresponds to angle NJL in LJM. thus, these two angles are  harmonious.  

We can prove that these two angles are  harmonious using the  perpendicular angles theorem, which states that  perpendicular angles are always  harmonious. Since KJ and JM  cross at point J, angles KJM and NJL are  perpendicular angles and must be  harmonious.   thus, we've shown that the alternate brace of corresponding angles from KJN and LJM that are  harmonious are angle KJM and angle NJL.

If you are earning $12.50/hr in a part-time job, then your gross "base-pay" after deductions is $253.48.

Your base pay is $12.50/hr and you worked for 18 hours, so the base pay would be:

⇒ $12.50/hr × 18 hrs = $225;

The tips are $4.60/hr on average, so the "total-tips" earned would be:

⇒ $4.60/hr × 18 hrs = $82.80;

To calculate the "total-deductions", we first find the total percentage deducted, which is the sum of FICA and Federal Tax Withholding:

⇒ 7.65% + 10% = 17.65%,

To find the total amount deducted, we multiply the total percentage deducted by the "base-pay" + "tips";

⇒ 17.65% x ($225 + $82.80) = $54.32,

So the pay, before any deductions, is the sum of "base-pay" and "tips";

⇒ $225 + $82.80 = $307.80;

To find the "net-pay", we subtract "total-deductions" from pay;

We have,

Therefore, the solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2) are: x = π/6, -π/6 (in radians) or x = 30°, -30° (in degrees). Note that the solutions are listed in ascending order.

The equation is:

sec(x) = 2√3/3

First, we can find the values of x for which sec(x) = 2√3/3. Recall that sec(x) = 1/cos(x), so we have:

1/cos(x) = 2√3/3

Multiplying both sides by cos(x), we get:

1 = 2√3/3 cos(x)

cos(x) = 3/(2√3) = √3/2

Now, we can use the unit circle to find the solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2).

cos(x) = √3/2 when x is π/6 or 11π/6 (in radians), or 30° or 330° (in degrees), since these are the angles in the unit circle where the x-coordinate is √3/2.

However, we need to make sure that these solutions are in the interval [0, 2). Since the period of sec(x) is 2π, we can add or subtract 2π to any solution to get another solution. Therefore, we need to find the solutions in the interval [0, 2π) that correspond to the solutions we found above.

π/6 is already in the interval [0, 2π), so it is a solution in the interval [0, 2). To find the other solution in the interval [0, 2), we can add 2π to 11π/6:

11π/6 + 2π = 23π/6

23π/6 is not in the interval [0, 2), so we need to subtract 2π instead:

11π/6 - 2π = -π/6

-π/6 is in the interval [0, 2), so it is also a solution in the interval [0, 2).

Therefore, the solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2) are:

x = π/6, -π/6 (in radians) or x = 30°, -30° (in degrees)

Since sin(a) is negative and a is in the third quadrant, we can use the Pythagorean identity to find cos(a):

[tex]cos^2(a) + (-4/5)^2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]cos^2(a) = 9/25[/tex]

cos(a) = -3/5 (since a is in the third quadrant)

Similarly, since sec(B) = 5/3, we can use the definition of secant to find cos(B):

sec(B) = 1/cos(B) = 5/3

cos(B) = 3/5

(a) To find sin(a + B), we can use the sum formula for sine:

sin(a + B) = sin(a) cos(B) + cos(a) sin(B)

= (-4/5)(3/5) + (-3/5)(4/5)

= -12/25 - 12/25

= -24/25

(b) To find tan(a + B), we can use the sum formula for tangent:

tan(a + B) = (tan(a) + tan(B)) / (1 - tan(a) tan(B))

To find tan(a), we can use the identity: [tex]tan^2(a) + 1 = sec^2(a)[/tex]

[tex]tan^2(a) = sec^2(a) - 1 = (5/3)^2 - 1 = 16/9[/tex]

tan(a) = -4/3 (since a is in the third quadrant)

To find tan(B), we can use the identity: tan(B) = sin(B) / cos(B) = 4/3

Plugging these values into the formula for tan(a + B), we get:

tan(a + B) = (-4/3 + 4/3) / (1 + (-4/3)(4/3))

= 0 / (1 - 16/9)

= 0

(c) To determine the quadrant containing a + B, we need to consider the signs of sin(a + B) and cos(a + B).

From part (a), we know that sin(a + B) is negative. To determine the sign of cos(a + B), we can use the Pythagorean identity:

[tex]sin^2(a + B) + cos^2(a + B) = 1[/tex]

Substituting sin(a + B) = -24/25, we get:

[tex](-24/25)^2 + cos^2(a + B) = 1[/tex]

[tex]cos^2(a + B) = 1 - (-24/25)^2[/tex]

cos(a + B) = ±7/25

Since cos(a + B) is positive in the first and fourth quadrants, and negative in the second and third quadrants, we can conclude that a + B is in the third quadrant, since cos(a + B) is negative and sin(a + B) is negative.

Second sample: 3 red, 3 green, 3 blue, 1 yellow (out of 10)

Third sample: 2 red, 2 green, 5 blue, 1 yellow (out of 10)

To compare the samples to the known ratios, we can calculate the percentage of each color in each sample and compare it to the percentage of each color in the box.

The percentages of each color in the box are:

Red: 10/100 = 10%

Green: 30/100 = 30%

Blue: 40/100 = 40%

Yellow: 20/100 = 20%

First sample:

Red: 6/10 = 60%

Green: 2/10 = 20%

Blue: 1/10 = 10%

Yellow: 1/10 = 10%

Second sample:

Red: 3/10 = 30%

Green: 3/10 = 30%

Blue: 3/10 = 30%

Yellow: 1/10 = 10%

Third sample:

Red: 2/10 = 20%

Green: 2/10 = 20%

Blue: 5/10 = 50%

Yellow: 1/10 = 10%

Based on these percentages, we can see that the third sample is the best representation of the buttons in the box, as it is closest to the known ratios of colors in the box.

t-score = (Sample Mean - Population Mean) / Standard Error

t-score = ($52,525 - $52,000) / $300

t-score = $525 / $300

t-score = 1.75

To find the critical value at a 5% significance level with 24 degrees of freedom (n - 1), we can consult a t-table. At a 5% significance level (two-tailed test), the critical t-value is approximately ±2.064.

Since the calculated t-score (1.75) is not greater than the critical t-value (2.064), we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, option C is correct. No, the least value is smaller than the critical value.

Complete question:

The average first year teacher salary in a certain state is known to be $52,000 with a standard deviation of $1500. A researcher tests this claim by averaging the salaries of 25 first year teachers and finding their average salary to be $52,525. Is there significant evidence to suggest that the claim is wrong at the 5% significance level?

A. Yes, the least value is greater than the critical value

B. No, the least value is larger than the critical value

C. No, the least value is smaller than the critical value

D. yes, the least value is smaller than the critical value
