Answer:

Probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1454 g is 0.3372 or 34% (approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Weights of Broilers are normally distributed.

Mean = 1387 g

Standard Deviation = 161 g

To find: Probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1454 g.

we have ,

Mean,\,\mu=1387

Standard\,deviation,\,\sigma=161

X = 1454

We use z-score to find this probability.

we know that

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

z=\frac{1454-1387}{161}=0.416=0.42

P( z = 0.42 ) = 0.6628   (from z-score table)

Thus, P( X ≥ 1454 ) = P( z ≥ 0.42 ) = 1 - 0.6628 =  0.3372

Therefore, Probability that a randomly selected broiler weighs more than 1454 g is 0.3372 or 34% (approx.)

X(x+1)-1=4<br> ---<br> please help stuck on this question
Sloan [31]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property: x^2+2x-1=4

remove the -1 by adding 1 on both sides: x^2+2x=5

use the guadratic fromula:  ax²+bx+c=0

plug in the equation x^2+2x-5=0

a,b and c are the coefficients to plug into the formula

a=1, b=2, c=-1

Finally, you will find that x=2

Answer:

{2}^{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

{2}^{7}  = 128

{7}^{2}  = 49

So,

128 > 49 \\  {2}^{7}  \:  \:  \:  \:    >  {7}^{2}

Therefore 2^7 is greater

Triangle ABC is equilateral. Find the height of BD
RideAnS [48]

Since ABC is equilateral, all 3 sides have equal length. side AC is 8 units since side BC is 8 units.

Line BD is placed in the middle, making D the midpoint of side AC.

knowing this information we can determine that the length of DC is 4 units (half of AC)

since triangle BDC is a right triangle, we can use the side lengths in the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD

a²+b²=c² where a & b = legs of triangle , and c= hypotenuse (longest side)

we are given the hypotenuse and found one leg so we can plug our values into the equation to find the third

4² + b²= 8²

16 + b² = 64

b² = 48

b = \sqrt{48}

b= 4√3 or about 6.928 units

hope this helped

What is the solution to -4(8-3x) &gt;_6x-8
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x  ≥4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(8-3x) ≥6x-8

Distribute

-32+12x ≥6x-8

Subtract 6x from each side

-32+12x-6x ≥6x-6x-8

-32+6x ≥-8

Add 32 from each side

-32+32 +6x ≥-8+32

6x ≥ 24

Divide each side by 6

6x/6  ≥24/6

x  ≥4
