Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to
square both sides
------> equation
Step 3
equate equation and equation
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is

Given mean = 0 C and standard deviation = 1.00
To find probability that a random selected thermometer read less than 0.53, we need to find z-value corresponding to 0.53 first.
z=
So, P(x<0.53) = P(z<0.53) = 0.701944
Similarly P(x>-1.11)=P(z>-1.11) = 1-P(z<-1.11) = 0.8665
For finding probability for in between values, we have to subtract smaller one from larger one.
P(1.00<x<2.25) = P(1.00<z<2.25) = P(z<2.25)- P(z<1.00) = 0.9878 - 0.8413 = 0.1465
P(x>1.71) = P(z>1.71) = 1-P(z<1.71) = 1-0.9564 = 0.0436
P(x<-0.23 or x>0.23) = P(z<-0.23 or z>0.23) =P(z<-0.23)+P(z>0.23) = 0.409+0.409 = 0.918
