The value that is 2 standard deviations from the mean is; 130

<h3>What is Empirical Rule?</h3>

For this question, we will use Z-score and as such whether the value is below or above mean (shown by positive or negative sign) and by how much (times the standard deviation).

Thus;

Calculated value = μ + zσ

where;

μ is mean

σ is standard deviation

Hence, the value that would be +2 standard deviations from the mean is;

Calculated value = 100 + 2(15)

Calculated value = 130

chloe has 42 oranges 24 apples and 18 bananas to put into fruit baskets each fruit will be divided equally so each basket will h

Nimfa-mama [501]

We want to calculate the number of baskets to which chloe can make.

Note that we have 42 oranges, 24 apples and 18 bananas, and since we are splitting them into the number of baskets, it must happen that the each number is a multiple of the number of baskets.

We will check each option to find out if the numbers are a multiple of the number. Then we will take the greatest to number to which all of them are a multiple.

Case 2: Note that 42= 21*2, 24=12*2 and 18 = 9*2 so all of them are multiples of 2.

So, so far the greatest number is 2.

Case 3:

Note that 42 = 3*14, 24 = 8*3 and 18 = 6*3. So all of them are multiples of 3.

So, so far the greatest number is 3.

Case 6:

Note that 42 = 6*7, 24 = 6*4 and 18 = 6*3. So all of them are multiples of 3. So, so far the greatest number is 6.

Case 8:

Note that 24=8*3. But neither 18 o 42 are multiples of 8. So, this can't be an option.

So, this means that the most number of fruit baskets Chole can make is 6, since 6 divides evenly all three numbers (42,24 and 18)

part 2. Find the value of the trig function indicated, use for that Pythagorean theorem to find the third side if you need it.

Answer: $\bold{5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\qquad 6)\ \tan \theta =\dfrac{8}{17}\qquad 7)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{4}{3}\qquad 8)\ \cos \theta = \dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem is: a² + b² = c² , where "c" is the hypotenuse

$5)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{3\sqrt{11}}{18}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}$

Note: (15)² + (3√11)² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 18

$6)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{8}{17}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{8}{17}}$

Note: 8² + 15² = hypotenuse² → hypotenuse = 17

$7)\ \tan \theta=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to}\ \theta}{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}=\dfrac{20}{15}\quad \rightarrow \large\boxed{\dfrac{4}{3}}$

Note: hypotenuse not needed for tan

$8)\ \cos \theta=\dfrac{\text{side adjacent to}\ \theta}{\text{hypotenuse of triangle}}=\dfrac{2}{2\sqrt{10}}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{10}}$
