The length of the other leg is 20 ft.
a^2 x b^2 = c^2
21^2 x b^2 = 29^2
441 x b^2 = 841
b^2 = 841-441
b^2 = 400
b = $\sqrt{400}$
b = 20

The mean cost of a 5 pound bag of shrimp is $50 with the standard deviation of six dollars. If a sample of 40 bags of shrimp is

Lemur [1.5K]

SOLUTION

We will use the formula

$\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}} \\ where\text{ } \\ x=51.3,\mu=50,\sigma=6,n=40 \end{gathered}$

Applying we have

$\begin{gathered} Z=\frac{51.3-50}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{40}}} \\ Z=\frac{1.3}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{40}}} \\ Z=1.37032 \end{gathered}$

Now using a Zscore calculator for 1.370320, we have

P(xHence the answer is 0.9147

A study found that the average stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 mph was 264 feet. a group of automotive engineers

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a study found that the average stopping distance of a school bus traveling 50 mph was 264 feet.

Sample taken showed the following results

$n=40\\\bar x =262.3 feet\\Std dev = \sigma= 3 ft$

Since population std deviation is known and sample size is large, z test can be used.

$H_0: \bar x=264\\H_a: \bar x$

(Left tailed test)

Mean difference = $264-262.3 = 1.7$

Std error = $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\=\frac{3}{\sqrt{40} } \\=0.474$

Z = test statistic = mean diff/std error

= $\frac{1.7}{0.474} \\=3.584$

p value = 0.00017

Since p < alpha our 0.05 we reject null hypothesis

There is evidence to show that mean is less than 264 feet

(Assumptions:

Sample are randomly drawn

Sample represents the population

What is the solution to the system of equations?

Lemur [1.5K]

I would plug in each of the solutions to every equation and see which one works. This is probably easier than solving for x, y, and z. But let me know if you would like me to run through the steps!

First choice: using the first equation, -3(-3)-4(4)+6=-19 not -1 as listed. False.

Second choice: using the first equation, -3(4)-4(-3)+(-1)=-1 ; using the second equation, 2(4)+(-3)-(-1)=6 not -8 as listed. False.

Third choice: using the first equation, -3(-3)-4(4)+8=-17 not -1 as listed. False.

Fourth choice: using the first equation, -3(3)-4(-4)+-(-6)=-1 ; using the second equation,
2(3)+(-4)-(-6)=8 ; using the third equation, 3+8(-4)-(-6)=23

So the answer should be the fourth choice. Hope this helps! :)
