Using the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
A and B are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.
4^2 + 5^2 = c^2
Simplify:
16+25 = c^2
41 = c^2
Take the square root of both sides:
c=√41
L = 0 bcause it cancels itself out
Since 1 ton is 2,000 lbs, each Crib Jack can life 30,000 lbs. It's going to take 2 Crib Jacks, because the extra 5,000 lbs in belongings were removed, leaving the house at a weight of 60,000 lbs.
Answer:
a) x = 1225.68
b) x = 1081.76
c) 1109.28 < x < 1198.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- Th random variable X for steer weight follows a normal distribution:
X~ N( 1154 , 86 )
Find:
a) the highest 10% of the weights?
b) the lowest 20% of the weights?
c) the middle 40% of the weights?
Solution:
a)
We will compute the corresponding Z-value for highest cut off 10%:
Z @ 0.10 = 1.28
Z = (x-u) / sd
Where,
u: Mean of the distribution.
s.d: Standard deviation of the distribution.
1.28 = (x - 1154) / 86
x = 1.28*86 + 1154
x = 1225.68
b)
We will compute the corresponding Z-value for lowest cut off 20%:
-Z @ 0.20 = -0.84
Z = (x-u) / sd
-0.84 = (x - 1154) / 86
x = -0.84*86 + 1154
x = 1081.76
c)
We will compute the corresponding Z-value for middle cut off 40%:
Z @ 0.3 = -0.52
Z @ 0.7 = 0.52
[email protected] < x < [email protected]
-.52*86 + 1154 < x < 0.52*86 + 1154
1109.28 < x < 1198.72
