A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. Only the law of Sine can be applied to solve the triangle.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The sum of all the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°.

The sum of all three angles can be written as,

118° + 22° + x = 180°

x = 40°

For the sine rule to be applicable, two angles and a side or an angle and two sides are needed. Therefore, the law of Sine can be applied to solve the triangle.

For the cosine rule to be applicable, two sides and an angle between them is needed to be known, hence, the law of cosine can not be applied.

Hence, Only the law of Sine can be applied to solve the triangle.

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra

Snezhnost [94]

Let $X$ denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by $X_1,\ldots,X_{36}$ , each independently and identically distributed with distribution $X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2)$ .

You want to find

$\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)$

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)$

Recall that if $X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma)$ , then the sampling distribution $\overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right)$ with $n$ being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

$Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}$

so that in this case,

$Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}$

and the probability is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)$
$=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693$

Tessa said that the combined length of all 5 of her fingers on one hand should be less that 5 times the index finger. Tessa had

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: 5F < 5( X + x )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each finger = F and

The index finger = X

The shortest index finger = x

the combined length of all 5 of her fingers on one hand should be less than 5 times the length of index finger

From the statement above, we get

5F < 5X

Tessa add the second shortest index finger.

That is

5F < 5( X +x)
