The Solution:

Using the formula:

Z_{70}=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Where,

\begin{gathered} x=70kg \\ \mu=65kg \\ \sigma=11kg \end{gathered}

Substituting, we get

P(Z>Z_{70})=\frac{70-65}{11}=\frac{5}{11}=0.45455

From the Z score table,

\begin{gathered} P(Z>Z_{70})=0.3242=p \\ 1-P(Z>Z_{70})=1-0.3242=0.6758=q \end{gathered}

By the Binomial expansion formula,

(p+q)^8=+\cdots+^8C_3p^3\cdot q^5+^8C_2p^2\cdot q^6+^8C_1p^1\cdot q^7+^8C_0p^0\cdot q^8

So, the probability that at most three of them weigh at least 70 kg is

\begin{gathered} ^8C_3(0.3242)^3\cdot(0.6758)^5+^8C_2(0.3242)^2\cdot(0.6758)^6+ \\ ^8C_1(0.3242)^1\cdot(0.6758)^7+^8C^{}_0(0.6758)^8 \end{gathered}=0.49562\approx0.4956

Therefore, the correct answer is 0.4956

The answer is A I am pretty sure. This is because in choice B, you would be dividing 7 and the sum of x + 5. In choice C you would not be multiplying 7 and the sum of x + 5. When he question asks for the product, it is asking for you to multiply. In choice D you would not just be squaring y, you would be squaring 2xy, which is not what we want. We only want to square y, therefore I believe the correct answer is A.

Answer:

3 * 10^3 in scientific notation.

3,000 in standard notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide:

3.9 *10^5 / 1.3 * 10^2

= ( 3.9/1.3) * (10^5 / 10^2)

= 3 * 10(5-2)

= 3 * 10^3.

This  equals 3 * 1,000 = 3000.

Well I THINK triangle ABC is just a stretched out version of triangle DEF.

To find the area of a triangle, you multiply base and height, and divide by 2.

Area of DEF is 6, so that means that (4 * x)/2 = 6.

6*2 = 12....

4 * x = 12........

4 * 3 = 12.

x = 3.

Comparing DEF to ABC: ABC's base is 3 times as long as DEF's. So that means the height must be three times as long.

3*3 = 9.

(12 * 9)/2 =54
