Answer:

The probability that next year Greenville will receive the following amount of rainfall A) At most 55 inches of rain is 0.7734, B) at least 62 inches of rain is 0.0516, C) Between 46 and 55 inches of rain is 0.0387

D Having rainfall of above 65 inches would be considered as an extremely wet year

Step-by-step explanation:

A. To find the probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 55 inches of rain we would have to make the following calculation:

P(X<55)

=P((X-mean)/s<(55-49)/8)

=P(Z<0.75)

=0.7734

The probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 55 inches of rain is 0.7734

B. To find the probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 62 inches of rain we would have to make the following calculation:

P(X>62)

=P(Z>(62-49)/8)

=P(Z>1.63)

=0.0516

The probability that next year Greenville will receive at most 62 inches of rain is 0.0516

C. To find the probability that next year Greenville will receive at Between 46 and 55 inches of rain we would have to make the following calculation:

P(46<X<54)

=P((46-49)/8 <Z<(54-49)/8)

=P(-0.38 <Z< 0.63)

=0.3837

The probability that next year Greenville will receive Between 46 and 55 inches of rain is 0.3837

D. Here consider a value that is more two standard deviations above the mean as an unusual vale. That is:

X=2σ+μ

=2(8)+49

=65

Therefore, having rainfall of above 65 inches would be considered as an extremely wet year.

EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid. If EH=4x-27 and FG=x+9, find the value of x.<br> PLEASE HELP ASAP!
djyliett [7]

Answer:

If EFGH is an isosceles trapezoid,

if

EH=4x-27+

FG=x%2B9+

EG=3y%2B19

FH=11y-21

then EH=FG and EG=FH

set up equations:

4x-27=x%2B9 .......solve for x

4x-x=27%2B9

3x=36

x=36%2F3

3y%2B19=11y-21.......solve for y

11%2B19=11y-3y

30=8y

y=30%2F8

y=15%2F4

y=3.75

so,x=12    and y=3.75

you can also check the length of equal sides and equal diagonals:

EH=4%2A12-27+=21

FG=12%2B9+=21

EG=3%283.75%29%2B19=30.25

FH=11%283.75%29-21=30.25x=12

A ray is a defined term because it
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

A ray is a defined term we have to give the reason of the above statement.

A ray is a line or a part of a line that has one endpoint which we defined and other goes on infinitely in only one direction.

One of the example is a sun's ray of light in space. Light from the sun originates and travels from the sun, and its path extends infinitely.\

Hence, we say that "A ray is a defined term because it travels forever in one direction"

Option D is correct.
