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.

URGENT PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO CORRECT ANSWER ABC factory brought a pile of coal. If the factory burns 1500 kilogram
wolverine [178]

Solving a system of equations, we will see that there are 6000 kg of coal on the pile.

<h3>How many kilograms of coal are in the pile of coal?</h3>

Let's say that there are N kilograms of coal, and it is planned to burn it totally in D days, these are our variables.

We know that:

  • If the factory burns 1500 kilograms per day, it will finish burning the coal one day ahead of planned.
  • If it burns 1000 kilograms per day, it will take an additional day than planned.

Then we can write the system of equations:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N

(1000)*(D + 1) = N

Because N is already isolated in both sides, we can write this as:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N = (1000)*(D + 1)

Then we can solve for D:

(1500)*(D - 1) =  (1000)*(D + 1)

1500*D - 1500 = 1000*D + 1000

500*D = 2500

D = 2500/500 = 5

Now that we know the value of D, we can find N by replacing it in one of the two equations:

(1500)*(D - 1) = N

(1500)*(5 - 1) = N

(1500)*4= N = 6000

This means that there are 6000 kilograms of coal on the pile.

cricket20 [7]

(5x)^2 + x^2 = c^2

25x^2 + x^2 =c^2

sqrt 26 x ^ 2 = sqrt c^2

x sqrt 26= c

so answer is 6x + x sqrt 26
