Answer:

If each side of pentagon is doubled then its perimeter will also be doubles. The new perimeter is 30 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of all five sides of pentagon = v, w, x, y, and z.

Perimeter of pentagon = Sum of lengths of its all five sides = (v + w + x + y + z) = 15 feet

If each side of pentagon is doubles then,

New perimeter of pentagon = (2v + 2w + 2x + 2y + 2z)

= 2 (v + w + x + y + z)

= 2 (15)

= 30 feet

Therefore, if each side of pentagon is doubled then its perimeter will also be doubled.

For this case we have the following conversion of units:

$1mi = 1609m$

$1h = 3600s$

Thus, applying the conversion of units we have:

$(23.35 \frac{mi}{h}) (\frac{1609}{1}\frac{m}{mi}) (\frac {1}{3600}\frac{h}{s}) = 10.4 \frac{m}{s}$

Then, the distance traveled for 5 seconds is given by:

$d = (10.4) (5)$

$d = 52m$

Answer:

he has completed 52 meters of the 80-meter race

The amount of calories consumed by customers at the Chinese buffet is normally distributed with mean 2885 and standard deviation

aliina [53]

Answer:

a. X~N(2,885, 651)

b. 0.086291

c. 0.00058

d. 3213.10 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -A normal distribution is expressed in the form X~N(mean, standard deviation).

-Let X a random variable denoting the number of calories consumed.

-X is a is a normally distributed random variable with mean 2885 and standard deviation 651.

-This distribution is expressed as X~N(2,885, 651)

b. The probability that less than 2000 calories are consumed is calculated using the formula:

$P(X$

#substitute the given values in the formula to solve for P:

$P(X$

Hence, the probability of consuming less than 2000 calories is 0.08691

c. The proportion of customers consuming more than 5000 calories is calculated as:

$P(X>x)=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(Z>\frac{5000-2885}{651})\\\\=P(z>3.2488)\\\\=1-0.99942\\\\=0.00058$

Hence, the proportion of customers consuming over 5000 calories is 0.00058

d. The least amount of calories to get the award is calculated as:

1% is equivalent to a z value of 0.50399.

-We equate this to the formula to solve for the mean consumption:

$0.01=P(z>\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\sigma})\\\\=P(z>\frac{\bar X-2885}{651})\\\\\1\%=0.50399 \\\\\frac{\bar X-2885}{651}=0.50399 \\\\\bar X=0.50399\times 651+2885\\\\=3213.09$

Hence, the least amount of calories consumed to qualify for the award is 3213.10 calories.
