Answer:

P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = 0.046

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Population Mean, \mu = 2.58 and Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.75

Also, a random sample (n) of 110 households is taken.

Let Xbar = sample mean household size

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is give by;

             Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

So, probability that the sample mean household size is between 2.50 and 2.66 people = P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66)

P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = P(Xbar < 2.66) - P(Xbar \leq 2.50)

P(Xbar < 2.66) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{2.66-2.78}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{110} } } ) = P(Z < -1.68) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.68)

                                                              = 1 - 0.95352 = 0.04648

P(Xbar \leq 2.50) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{2.50-2.78}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{110} } } ) = P(Z \leq -3.92) = 1 - P(Z < 3.92)

                                                              = 1 - 0.99996 = 0.00004

Therefore, P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = 0.04648 - 0.00004 = 0.046

a regular rectangular pyramid has a base and lateral faces that are congruent equilateral triangles. it has a lateral surface ar
Margarita [4]
A pyramid is regular if its base is a regular polygon, that is a polygon with equal sides and angle measures.
(and the lateral edges of the pyramid are also equal to each other)

Thus a regular rectangular pyramid is a regular pyramid with a square base, of side length say x.

The lateral faces are equilateral triangles of side length x.

The lateral surface area is 72 cm^2, thus the area of one face is 72/4=36/2=18  cm^2.

now we need to find x. Consider the picture attached, showing one lateral face of the pyramid.

by the Pythagorean theorem: 

h= \sqrt{ x^{2} - (x/2)^{2}}= \sqrt{ x^{2}- x^{2}/4}= \sqrt{3x^2/4}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x

thus, 

Area_{triangle}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot base \cdot height\\\\18= \frac{1}{2}\cdot x \cdot \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x\\\\ \frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}=x^2

thus:

x^2 =\frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}= \frac{18 \cdot 4 \cdot\  \sqrt{3} }{3}=24 \sqrt{3}       (cm^2)

but x^{2} is exactly the base area, since the base is a square of sidelength = x cm.


So, the total surface area = base area + lateral area =  24 \sqrt{3}+72   cm^2


Answer: 24 \sqrt{3}+72   cm^2

What is the solution to this equation? x + (- 14) = 4. (A) x = 10. (B) x = - 10. (C) x = - 18. (D) x = 18
Vika [28.1K]
First, you want to get x by itself on one side. We write the equation as x-14=4. Since 14 is being subtracted from x, we add it to both sides to cancel it out, x-14+14=4+14 or x=18.

Your answer would be D.
