Explanation Procedure used: To find x andy components of a vector: 1. Place the vector A such that θ is in standard position. 2. Calculate A x and A y from A x = A cos θ and A y = A sin θ . Use the reference angle if the direction of the component is noted. 3. Check the components to see if each is in the correct direction and has a magnitude that is proper for the reference angle. Adding vectors by components: 1. Add the x -component of the given vectors to obtain R x . 2. Add the y -component of the given vectors to obtain R y . 3. Find the magnitude of the resultant R . Use the equation R = R x 2 + R y 2 . 4. Find the standard-position angle θ for the resultant R . Find the reference angle θ r e f for the resultant R by using the equation θ r e f = tan − 1 | R y | | R x | . Then, use the reference angle and the quadrant of R to determine the standard position angle θ . Calculation: The given vectors A = 18760 is directed at an angle θ A = 110.43 ° and B = 4835 is directed at an angle θ B = 350.20 ° . Sketch the figure of the corresponding vectors as shown below in Figure 1. From Figure 1, it is observed that the resultant vector is represented as R . The x and y components of a vector A is, A x = A cos θ and A y = A sin θ A x = 18760 cos 110.43 ° and A y = 18760 sin 110.43 ° A x = − 6548.42 and A y = 17579.98 Similarly, the x and y components of a vector B is, B x = B cos θ and B y = B sin θ B x = 4835 cos 350.20 ° and B y = 4835 sin 350.20 ° B x = 4764.45 and B y = − 822.96 Then, the x component of the resultant vector R is, R x = A x + B x = ( − 6548

West Virginia has one of the highest divorce rates in the nation, with an annual rate of approximately 5 divorces per 1000 people (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, January 12, 2012). The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.
