An engineer is going to redesign an ejection seat for an airplane. The seat was designed for pilots weighing between 130 lb and

171 lb. The new population of pilots has normally distributed weights with a mean of 136 lb and a standard deviation of 28.1 lb. a. If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 130 lb and 171 lb.

Answer:

0.4757

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = $\mu = 136 lb$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 28.1 lb$

We are supposed to find If a pilot is randomly selected, find the probability that his weight is between 130 lb and 171 lb i.e.P(130<x<171)

Formula: $Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

at x = 130

$Z=\frac{130-136}{28.1}$

$Z=-0.213$

Refer the z table of p value

P(x<130)=0.4168

$Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

at x = 171

$Z=\frac{171-136}{28.1}$

$Z=1.245$

Refer the z table of p value

P(x<171)=0.8925

P(P(130<x<171)=P(x<171)-P(x<130)= 0.8925-0.4168=0.4757

Hence the probability that his weight is between 130 lb and 171 lb is 0.4757

Josie is making pizza dough. Complete the double number line by filling in the missing values. Then write an equation that model

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

First part:

To complete the top number line use the numbers

$1\dfrac{1}{2}$

and

$2\dfrac{1}{4}$

To complete the bottom number line use the numbers:

3, and

4

Second part:

The relationship between the total cups of flour, c, and number of batches n, is:

$c=\dfrac{3}{4}n$

Explanation:

Find the complete question if the file attached.

First part.

The number line on top shows the number of cups of flour, c.

Each mark corresponds to 3/4 of cups. Thus the numbers that complete the number line are:

$\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{6}{4}=\dfrac{4}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}$

$1\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{4}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{4}{4}+\dfrac{2}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{8}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}=2+\dfrac{1}{4}=2\dfrac{1}4}$

The the two numbers that complete the top number line are:

$1\dfrac{1}{2}$

and

$2\dfrac{1}{4}$

The bottom number line models the number of batches of dough, n.

Each mark corresponds to one unit, i.e. one batch.

Thus, the missing values are:

2 + 1 = 3, and

3 + 1 = 4.

Second part. Find the relationship between the total cups of flour, c, and number of batches n.

The relationship is indicated by the marks that are at equivalent position:

You can notice that you must multiply the number of batches, n, by 3/4 to get the number of cups of flour, c, that correspond to the same position:

For instance:

$1\times \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

$4\times \dfrac{3}{4}=3$

Therefore,

$c=\dfrac{3}{4}n$

I have the formula <br><br> A fraction • π r^2

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

22.2 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a sector is calculated as

A = area of circle × fraction of circle

= πr² × $\frac{50}{360}$

= π × 7.13² × $\frac{5}{36}$

= $\frac{7.13^2(5)\pi }{36}$ ≈ 22.2 ft² ( nearest tenth )

For each of the finite geometric series given below, indicate the number of terms in the sum and find the sum. For the value of

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Number of term N = 9

Value of Sum = 0.186

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Number of term N = $3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} + \cdots + 3 (0.5)^{13}$

Number of term N = $3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} +3 (0.5)^{8}+3 (0.5)^{9} +3 (0.5)^{10} +3 (0.5)^{11}+3 (0.5)^{12}+ 3 (0.5)^{13}$

Number of term N = 9

The Value of the sum can be determined by using the expression for geometric series:

$\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{a(r^m-r^{n+1})}{1-r}$

here;

m = 5

n = 9

r = 0.5

Then:

$\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.5^5-0.5^{9+1})}{1-0.5}$

$\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.03125-0.5^{10})}{0.5}$

$\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{(0.09375-9.765625*10^{-4})}{0.5}$

$\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =0.186$

Can someone please help me find the value of X?

Bess [88]

Answer:

x = 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant- tangent angle x is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

x = $\frac{1}{2}$ (80 - 50)° = 0.5 × 30° = 15°
