The two triangles (ABC and ADE) can be shown to be similar (which I'll do below). Their corresponding parts are also similar. 
Step One
Prove Similarity.
A is common to both triangles              Construction
<ABC = <ADE                                       Given as right angles.

By the AA Theorem both triangles are similar.

Step Two
Find x

AD is to AB as DE is to x
AD = 3 + 4 = 7
AB = 3
DE = 6
7 / 3 = 6/x Cross multiply
7x = 3 * 6
7x = 18 Divide by 7
x = 18/7
x = 2.571 <<<<< answer

True or false, areas under the standard normal curve cannot be negative, whereas z-scores can be positive or negative.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a statement. We are asked to determine the given statement is true or false.

Statement: Areas under the standard normal curve cannot be negative, whereas z-scores can be positive or negative.

We know that area under the standard normal curve is equal to 1, so area under normal curve cannot be negative.

We know that a z-score represents that a data point is how many standard deviation above or below mean.

When a data point is less than mean, then z-score will be negative and when a data point is greater than mean, the z-score will be positive.

Therefore, our given statement is true.

In Spetember of 2013, Mario The Baker introduced a new chocolate cake and hired Doug and Jeremy to bake these cakes. Every custo
professor190 [17]

Answer:

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 70% probability that Doug bakes the cake.

A 30% probability that Jeremy bakes the cake.

A 40% probability that a cake baked by Doug gets a thumbs up.

A 10% that a cake baked by Jeremy gets a thumbs up.

One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".

1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.

The probability that a baked cake gets a thumbs up is:

P = 0.7*0.4 + 0.3*0.10 = 0.31

Of those, 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 are baked by Doug.

So the probability is:

P = \frac{0.28}{0.31} = 0.9032

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
