The 3 angles in a triangle need to equal 180 degrees.
the square in the top right means it is a right triangle and that angle = 90 degrees.
The other 2 angles then need to equal 180-90 = 90 degrees.

Now we have n + (n+40) = 90
Remove the parenthesis and add the 2 n's

2n + 40 = 90

Subtract 40 from each side:

2n = 50

Divide both sides by 2:

n = 50/2 = 25 degrees

Right triangle
so
n + n + 40 = 90
2n = 50
n = 25

answer
Measure of angle n = 25°

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric

Papessa [141]

Let $X$ denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ the standard deviation for this distribution.

$\mathbb P(X$

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately $z=-0.2533$ , which means

$\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1$

Next, (note the sign change)

$\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98$

The corresponding z-score is approximately $z=2.0538$ , so you have

$\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2$

Solving the two equations for $\mu$ and $\sigma$ , you'll find that the mean is approximately $\mu=1.1098$ and the standard deviation is approximately $\sigma=0.4334$ .
