Answer:

a  =  \sqrt{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Pythagorean theorem
  • \sqrt{a ^{2}  + b ^{2}   }  = c \\  \sqrt{c ^{2} - b ^{2}  }  = a
  • \sqrt{5 ^{2} - 2 ^{2}  }  =  \sqrt{21}

<h2>Answer:</h2>

  • \sqrt{21}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

b = 2

c = 5

<h3><u>To Find</u>:</h3>

a = ?

<h3><u>Solve</u>:</h3>

By using Pythagoras Theorem :

  • a² + b² = c²

Putting the values :

  • a² + 2² = 5²
  • a² + 4 = 25
  • a² = 25 - 4
  • a² = 21
  • a \: =  \:  \sqrt{21}

The length of a phone conversation is normally distributed with a mean of 4 minutes and a standard deviation of .6 minutes. What
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

0.04746

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this one needs to find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of 5 minutes when the mean is 4 minutes and the std. dev. is 0.6 minutes.  Either use a table of z-scores or a calculator with probability distribution functions.

In this case I will use my old Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator.  I select the normalcdf( function and type in the following arguments:  :

normalcdf(-100, 5, 4, 0.6).  The result is 0.952.  This is the area under the curve to the left of x = 5.  But we are interested in finding the probability that a conversation lasts longer than 5 minutes.  To find this, subtract 0.952 from 1.000:   0.048.  This is the area under the curve to the RIGHT of x = 5.

This 0.048 is closest to the first answer choice:  0.04746.

May someone please explain to me how to do this in the easiest way? I don't really understand. Thanks❤
katrin [286]
Ok, so 1 is a whole number.  1/5 is a fraction of 1.  So you want to subtract 1/5 from 1.  The number 1 is equal to 5/5.  So if you subtract 1/5 from 5/5 you are left with 4/5.  You do the same with the second one, just subtract 3/5 from 5/5 to get your answer.
