Answer:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the salary, and for this case we can assume that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(48000,5500)  

Where \mu=48000 and \sigma=5500

And we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.99   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.01 of the area on the left and 0.99 of the area on the right it's z=-2.33. On this case P(Z<-2.33)=0.01 and P(z>-2.33)=0.99

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

We know that

<span>the isosceles triangle has two equal sides
</span>
<span>let's analyze two cases
</span>
first case
perimeter=22 cm
<span>let's suppose that the known side of 6 cm is one of the two equal sides
</span>perimeter=6+6+x
22=6+6+x-----> x=22-12----> x=10 cm

answer first case
<span>the possible lengths of the other two sides are
</span>6 cm 
10 cm

second case
let's suppose that the known side of 6 cm is the side that is not equal
perimeter=22 cm
perimeter=6+x+x
22=6+x+x----> 2x=22-6----> 2x=16-----> x=8 cm


answer second case
the possible lengths of the other two sides are
8 cm 
8 cm

Figure D could be formed from the net.

(bottom right)

-Because-

The net says that the middle shape (the bottom face) is 14 long, and it is 8 tall. So the only option that makes sense is the bottom right!

A flagpole casts a shadow 16.60 meters long Tim stands at a distance of 12.45 meters from the base of the flagpole such that the
coldgirl [10]
This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.
