Given:
In triangle DEF, HG is parallel to DF.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
In triangles DEF and GEH,
(Common angle)
(Corresponding angle)
(By AA property of similarity)
We know that corresponding sides of similar triangle are proportional.
Isolating variable terms, we get
Therefore, the value of x is equal to 4.
Answer:
(a) The percent of her laps that are completed in less than 130 seconds is 55%.
(b) The fastest 3% of her laps are under 125.42 seconds.
(c) The middle 80% of her laps are from <u>126.80</u> seconds to <u>132.63</u> seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the number of seconds for a randomly selected lap.
The random variable <em>X </em>is normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 129.71 seconds and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 2.28 seconds.
Thus, .
(a)
Compute the probability that a lap is completes in less than 130 seconds as follows:
The percentage is, 0.55 × 100 = 55%.
Thus, the percent of her laps that are completed in less than 130 seconds is 55%.
(b)
Let <em>x</em> represents the 3rd percentile.
That is, P (X < x) = 0.03.
⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.03
The value of <em>z</em> for the above probability is:
<em>z</em> = -1.88
Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:
Thus, the fastest 3% of her laps are under 125.42 seconds.
(c)
Let <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ be the values between which the middle 80% of the distribution lie.
That is,
The value of <em>z</em> for the above probability is:
<em>z</em> = 1.28
Compute the values of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ as follows:
Thus, the middle 80% of her laps are from <u>126.80</u> seconds to <u>132.63</u> seconds.
