Triangle ABC has 2 known sides. A = 7, b = 5. Angle C = 24.63. What is the value of side c, correct to one decimal place?

1 answer:

5 0

We use the Law of Cosines:
side c² = a² + b² -2ab • cos(C)
side c^2 = 7^2 + 5^2 -(2*7*5*cosine(24.63))
side c^2 = 49 + 25 -(70 * 0.90902)
side c^2 = 74 - 63.6314 
side c^2 = 10.3686 
side c = 3.22

Answer:

a) $P(X>3.5)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.5-5}{1.2})=P(z>-1.25)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

$P(z>-1.25)=1-P(z$

b) $P(X$

And we can find this probability uing the normal standard table:

$P(z$

c) $P(3.5$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1.25$

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(-1.25$

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5,1.2)$
