An elevator has a placard stating that the maximum capacity is 23252325 lblong dash—1515 passengers.​ So, 1515 adult male passen

gers can have a mean weight of up to 2325 divided by 15 equals 155 pounds.2325/15=155 pounds. If the elevator is loaded with 1515 adult male​ passengers, find the probability that it is overloaded because they have a mean weight greater than 155155 lb.​ (Assume that weights of males are normally distributed with a mean of 161 lb161 lb and a standard deviation of 31 lb31 lb​.) Does this elevator appear to be​ safe?

Answer:

0.7734; no, it does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this probability we will use a z-score.  We are dealing with the probability of a sample mean being larger than a given value; this means we use the formula

z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\sigma \div \sqrt{n}}

Our x-bar in this problem is 155, as that is the sample mean we are trying to find the probability of.  Our mean, μ, is 161 and our standard deviation, σ, is 31.  Our sample size, n, is 15.  This gives us

z=\frac{155-161}{31\div \sqrt{15}}=\frac{-6}{8.0042}=-0.75

Using a z table, we see that the area under the curve less than this, corresponding with probability less than this value, is 0.2266.  This means that the probability of the sample mean being larger than this is

1-0.2266 = 0.7734, or 77.34%.

Since there is a 77.34% chance of the passengers having a mean weight that is too heavy, this elevator is not safe.

A pennant is a shape of a triangle has a base of 12 inches and a height of 30 inches. What the area of the pennant?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

180 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area, A is given by A=0.5bh where b is base and h is height. Since both of these dimensions are provided then we substitute the given figures into the formula. Substituting 12 inches for base, b and 30 inches for height, h then the area will be equivalent to

A=0.5*12*30=180 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the described triangle is 180 square inches.

135°<br> Solve for &lt;2.<br> 62 = [?]<br> 45°<br> &amp;2<br> 86°<br> Enter
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

\displaystyle  \angle2     =  {49}^{ \circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

remember that,

<u>if a side of a triangle is extended then exterior angle so formed equal to the sum of the two opposite interior </u><u>angles</u>

thus our equation is

\displaystyle  \angle2 +  {86}^{ \circ}  =  {135}^{ \circ}

cancel out 86° from both sides:

\displaystyle  \angle2     =  {49}^{ \circ}

hence,

the measure of the missing angle is 49°

A rugby team played six games.
Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

mean score means the sum of all 6 scores divided by the number of games : 6.

sum6/6 = 15

sum6 = 15×6 = 90

(sum6 + x)/7 = 16

sum6 + x = 16×7 = 112

90 + x = 112

x = 22

they scored 22 points in the 7th game.
