Answer:

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 330, \sigma = 12

a. Highest 20 percent

At least X

100-20 = 80

So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.

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

0.842 = \frac{X - 330}{12}

X - 330 = 12*0.842

X = 340.1

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

Need help with this angle don't know what to do with the x
vichka [17]
Hello!

Due to the definition of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, (x+23)+(x+54)=180 degrees:

x + 23 + x + 54 = 180
2x + 77 = 180
2x = 103
x = approximately 52 degrees  or exactly 51.5 degrees

I hope this helps :))

What is the solution to this inequality: -4(3x-5)&lt;2(3x+4)​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

x > 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(3x - 5) < 2(3x + 4)​

Divide both sides by 2.

-2(3x - 5) < 3x + 4

Distribute on the left side.

-6x + 10 < 3x + 4

Subtract 3x from both sides.

-9x + 10 < 4

Subtract 10 from both sides.

-9x < - 6

Divide both sides by -9. Remember that when you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction.

x > (-6)/(-9)

x > 6/9

x > 2/3

marysya [2.9K]

BC would equal the same as EF, they are similar. All you would have to do is figure out the pre image (BC) of EF.
