Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X -  the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches.

Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches

We have to find the percentile

X = 74.2

Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6

P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%

i.e. only 5% are below him in height.

Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.

Find the equation of a line with a slope 3 that includes the point (0,5)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of a line with a slope of 3 that includes the point (0, 5).

We can use the slope-intercept form, given by:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Notice that the given point (0, 5) is already the y-intercept. So, b = 5.

By substitution, we acquire:

y=3x+5

Hence, our answer is B.

Answer:

B. x+60+90=180

Step-by-step explanation:

You selected the right choice yay!!

A line will always equal 180 and we are given three things that must equal 180. Also, what is on the top is the same as the bottom so x applies.

x+60+90=180

State if the given binomial is a factor of the given polynomial
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

B - yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If (n - 9) is a factor then when evaluated at n = 9, if the result is zero then it is a factor of the polynomial, that is

9³ + 9² - 84(9) - 54

= 729 + 81 - 756 - 54

= 0

Since the result is zero then (n - 9) is a factor of the polynomial

H(4 1/2, -3 1/4) x (3 3/4, -1 3/4) what the midpoint of hx
shtirl [24]

Answer:

(3 7/8, 2 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, the formula is (x1-x2)/2 and (y1-y2)/2. So, in this case, our x1 is 4 1/2 and our x2 is -3 1/4. Subtract x2 from x1 and you will get 7 3/4. Then, divide by 2 to get 3 7/8. This is our x-coordinate.

Our y1 is 3 3/4 and our y2 is -1 3/4. Subtract y2 from y1 to get 5 1/2. Then divide by two to get 2 3/4. This is our y-coordinate.

Now we have our x and y coordinates.

(3 7/8, 2 3/4)
