Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
=
=
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
Answer:
109.33
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the population has a distribution with a mean of 110 and a standard deviation of 8
Sample size n = 40
Std error of sample mean = std dev/square root of sample size
= 
From std normal distribution table we find that 30th percentile for Z is
-0.5244
Corresponding x score =
30th percentile = 109.33663
=109.33
