Given that
the weight of football players is distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 25 pounds.
And we need to find What is the minimum weight of the middle 95% of the players?
Explanation -
Using the Empirical Rule, 95% of the distribution will fall within 2 times of the standard deviation from the mean.
Two standard deviations = 2 x 25 pounds = 50 pounds
So the minimum weight = 200 pounds - 50 pounds = 150 pounds
Hence the final answer is 150 pounds.
Answer:
There are no simple factors to this expression. You can however solve for x, giving you:
x = -1 ± √(y + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
There is no simple pair of factors to this equation, so we'll have to go through the full process. You can see that by observing that there is no pair of rational numbers that add to make 2 and multiply to make -2. We can however solve for x:

Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x=-2x+15
collect like terms
-7x+2x=15
-5x=15
divide both sides by -5
x=15/-5
x=-3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are to assume in both problems that the two triangles are similar. That is a very dangerous assumption -- especially in later math classes. But in this case, there is no other way to do the problem. The two sets of triangles look like they are proportional. So set up two ratios that are = to each other
On the left
long side small triange / long side large triangle = base small triangle / base large triangle
On the right
hypotenuse/longest leg = hypotenuse / longest leg.
Problem A
Set up the similar Proportion
5/40 = x/20 Cross Multiply
40x = 20*5
40x = 100 Divide by 40
x = 100/40
x = 2.5
Problem B
Again set up the similar triangle proportion
15/10 = x/2 Multiply by 2
15*2/10 = x
3 = x
