In this problem, we can imagine that all the points connect to form a triangle. The three point or vertices are located on the pitcher mount, the home plate and where the outfielder catches the ball. So in this case we are given two sides of the triangle and the angle in between the two sides.

<span>With the following conditions, we can use the cosine law to solve for the unknown 3rd side. The formula is:</span>

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ

Where,

a = 60.5 ft

b = 195 ft

θ = 32°

Substituting the given values:

c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 – 2 (60.5) (195) cos 32

c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 – 20009.7

c^2 = 21,675.56

c = 147.23 ft

<span>Therefore the outfielder throws the ball at a distance of 147.23 ft towards the home plate.</span>

he production of pipes has a mean diameter of 3.25 inches and a standard deviation of .15 inches. The shape of the distribution
o-na [289]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen part has diameter of 3.5 inches or more is 0.9525

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = \mu = 3.25 inches

Standard deviation = \sigma = 0.15 inches

We are supposed to determine the probability that a randomly chosen part has diameter of 3.5 inches or more

P(Z \geq 3.5)=1-P(z

Refer the z table for p value

P(Z \geq 3.5)=1-0.0475\\P(Z \geq 3.5)=0.9525

Hence  the probability that a randomly chosen part has diameter of 3.5 inches or more is 0.9525
