Answer:

(1) 0.4207

(2) 0.7799

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mean value,

\mu = 15.0

Standard deviation,

\sigma = 1.25

(1) P(X ≥ 17.5) = 1 - P( X ≤ 17.5)

= 1- P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{17.5-\mu}{\sigma})

=1-P(z\leq \frac{17.5 - 15}{1.25})

=1-P(z\leq \frac{2.5}{1.25})

=1-P(z\leq 2)

=1- 0.5793   ( By using z-score table )

= 0.4207

(2) P(14 ≤ X ≤ 18) = P(X ≤ 18) - P(X ≤ 14)

=P(z\leq \frac{18 - 15}{1.25}) - P(z\leq \frac{14 - 15}{1.25})

=P(z\leq \frac{3}{1.25}) - P(z\leq -\frac{1}{1.25})

=P(z\leq 2.4) - P(z\leq -0.8)

= 0.9918 - 0.2119

= 0.7799

Artemon [7]

Answer:

-3x+1y=-1

or

3x-1y=1

or

by multiplying with 1/3 the first equation we get

-1x+1/3y=-1/3

or from second equation

1x-1/3y=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=-7

x1=-2

m=3

so

y-(-7)=3(x-(-2))

y+7=3(x+2)

y+7=3x+6

-3x+y=6-7

-3x+ 1y= -1

Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equipment room where she works. The room is 2 meters longer than it is wide. The
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: width = 3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Perimeter = 16 meters

The room is 2 meters longer than its width, then   length = width + 2

Perimeter = 2 length + 2 width

   16 =  2(width + 2) + 2 width

    16 = 2 width + 4 + 2 width

   16 = 4 width +4

   16 - 4 = 4 width

    12 = 4 width

    12/4 = width

     3 = width  

length = 3 + 2 = 5 meters
