Answer:

The probability that a family spends less than $410 per month

P( X < 410) = 0.1151

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given mean of the population = 500 </em>

<em>Given standard deviation of the Population = 75</em>

Let 'X' be the variable in normal distribution

      Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}

<em>Given X = $410</em>

<em></em>Z = \frac{410-500}{75} = - 1.2<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The probability that a family spends less than $410 per month

P( X < 410) = P( Z < - 1.2 )

                  =  0.5 - A( -1.2)

                 = 0.5 - A(1.2)

                = 0.5 - 0.3849  ( ∵from normal table)

                = 0.1151

<u>Final answer:-</u>

The probability that a family spends less than $410 per month

P( X < 410) = 0.1151

A. Find PR in the diagram <br> b. Find the perimeter of quadrilateral PQRS
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral has 4 sides and only two of them are equal.

A) to find PR, we will consider the triangle, PRQ.

Using cosine rule

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2abcos A

We are looking for PR

PR^2 = 8^2 + 7^2 - 2 ×8 × 7Cos70

PR^2 = 64 + 49 - 112 × 0.3420

PR^2 = 113 - 38.304 = 74.696

PR = √74.696 = 8.64

B) to find the perimeter of PQRS, we will consider the triangle, RSP. It is an isosceles triangle. Therefore, two sides and two base angles are equal. To determine the length of SP,

We will use the sine rule because only one side,PR is known

For sine rule,

a/sinA = b/sinB

SP/ sin 35 = 8.64/sin110

Cross multiplying

SPsin110 = 8.64sin35

SP = 8.64sin35/sin110

SP = (8.64 × 0.5736)/0.9397

SP = 5.27

SR = SP = 5.27

The perimeter of the quadrilateral PQRS is the sum of the sides. The perimeter = 8 + 7 + 5.27 + 5.27 = 25.54 cm
