Need help with this math question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]4 years ago

Answer:

x = 3.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the base of the triangle. The base of the triangle is half of 'x'. Let's call the base 'y' for now.

To find 'y' we must use this formula,

y^{2} = c^{2} -b^{2}

'c' is the hypotenuse, the longer side, and 'b' is the other short side.

Sub in the numbers for 'c' and 'b',

y^{2} = 2.1^{2} -1.4^{2}

               = 2.45

Square root both sides to get 'y' by itself,

y = 1.5652.....

Remember that 'y' is half of x? Simply multiply 'y' by 2 to get an answer for 'x',

x = 1.5652.... x 2

  = 3.1 ft (1 d.p. nearest tenth)

Hope this helped!!

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>(See picture attached for sub-totals) </h3>

a) What is the probability of selecting a student whose favorite sport is skiing?

P = 171/545 = 0.3138 = 31.38%

b) What is the probability of selecting a 6th grade student?

P = 155/545 = 0.2844 = 28.44%

c) If the student selected is a 7th grade student, what is the probability that the student prefers ice-skating?

P = 70/210 = 0.3333 = 33.33%

d) If the student selected prefers snowboarding, what is the probability that the student is a 6th grade student?

P = 155/211 = 0.7346 = 73.46%

e) If the student selected is an 8th grade student, what is the probability that the student prefers skiing or ice-skating?

P = 180/(171+163) = 180/334 = 0.5389 = 53.89%

Answer:

A manufacturer of banana chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 447.0 gram setting.

So, Null hypothesis : H_0:\mu =447

It is believed that the machine is under filling the bags

So, Alternate hypothesis : H_a:\mu

n = 41

Population standard deviation = \sigma = 21

x = 443

We will use z test since n > 30 and we are given the population standard deviation.

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{443-447}{\frac{21}{\sqrt{41}}}

z=-1.2196

Use z table to find p value

p value = 0.1131

α = 0.02

p value > α

So, we fail to reject null hypothesis.

So, its bag filling machine works correctly at the 447.0 gram setting.
