Answer: 0.8413

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Henry has collected data to find that the typing speeds for the students in a typing class has a normal distribution.

Mean : \mu=47

Standard deviation : \sigma= 4

Let x be the random variable that represents the typing speeds for the students.

The z-score :-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 51

z=\dfrac{51-47}{4}=1

Using the standard normal distribution table ,the probability that a randomly selected student has a typing speed of less than 51 words per minute :-

P(x

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected student has a typing speed of less than 51 words per minute = 0.8413

What special word is used to describe a polygon which has equal sides?
Verdich [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In geometry, a polygon with all equal sides is called an equilateral polygon. You can see the words equal and lateral in that word. Lateral has to do with sides, so the word equilateral literally means "equal sides". How cool!

Have a wonderful day! :D

a piece of art is in the shape of an equilateral triangle with side of 6 inches what is the area of the art
Nitella [24]
Area=1/2 times base times height
for equilateral triangle, if base is x, then height is (x√3)/2

so if base is 6 then height is (6√3)/2=3√3

area is 1/2 times 6 times3√3=3 times 3√3=9√3 sqare inches

Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.
