Let say the mainsail length and width is L1 and W1, staysail length and width is L2 and W2. 
<span>The base and height of the triangular mainsail of a sailboat are 1.5 times greater than the base and height of the boat's triangular staysail. That mean:
L1 = 1.5L2
W1 =1.5 W2

</span>How many times greater is the area of the mainsail than the area of the staysail?area1/area2 =
L1*W1 / L2*W2 =
1.5L2 * 1.5W2/ L2*W2 = 1.5 * 1.5= 2.25 times

Leno4ka [110]
The distribution of the number of occurrences of the letter t on the pages of a book is found to be a normal distribution with a mean of 44 and a standard deviation of 18. If there are 500 pages in the book, which sentence most closely summarizes the data?

A. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 170 of these pages. 

B. The letter t occurs less than 26 times on approximately 15 of these pages. 

C. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 420 of these pages. 

D. The letter t occurs more than 26 times on approximately 80 of these pages.

.Answer: 
<span>mean = 44 </span>
<span>sd = 18 </span>
<span>that means that "26" is 1 s.d. down, or at the 16th %ile </span>


<span>so, there is a .16 chance that "t" will occur less than 26 times on any single page. </span>
<span>consequently, there is a .84 chance that it will occur more than 26 times on any single page. </span>

<span>Using that information, and knowing that 16% of 500 is 80, and 84% of 500 is 420, can you see where "C" is correct? </span>
