The weight of people in a small town in missouri is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 154 pounds and a standard de

viation of 29 pounds. on a raft that takes people across the river, a sign states, "maximum capacity 3,460 pounds or 20 persons." what is the probability that a random sample of 20 persons will exceed the weight limit of 3,460 pounds? use table 1. (round "z" value to 2 decimal places, and final answer to 4 decimal places.)

If a random sample of 20 persons weighed 3,460, the sample mean x-bar would be 3460/20 = 173 pounds.
The z-score for 173 pounds is given by:
z=\frac{173-154}{29}=0.655
Referring to a standard normal distribution table, and using z = 0.66, we find:
P(\bar x\ \textless \ 173)=0.7454
Therefore
P(\bar x\ \textgreater \ 173)=1-0.7454=0.2546
The answer is: 0.2546

Glven: PA = PC and BA = BC. Use the diagram to find the length described.Suppose PA = 34 cm and PB = 16 cm. What is the length o
Mashutka [201]

We can calculate the length of AB using the Pythagorean Theorem, where:

PA^2=AB^2+PB^2

So, replacing PA by 34 and PB by 16 and solving for AB, we get:

\begin{gathered} 34^2=AB^2+16^2 \\ 34^2-16^2=AB^2 \\ \sqrt{34^2-16^2}=AB \\ 30=AB \end{gathered}

Then, AC = AB + BC, But AB = BC, so:

AC = 2*AB

Replacing AB by 30, we get:

AC = 2*30 = 60

Answer: AC=60

Jessica has 20 pieces of candy in a bag: 2 mint sticks, 9 jelly treats, and 9 fruit tart chews. If she eats one piece every 10 m
dedylja [7]

Answer:

18.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case what we must do is calculate the probability of eating a jelly treats first and then another jelly treats, being the final probability the multiplication of these events.

We know that there are 20 in total and that initially there are 9 jelly treats, so the first event is the probability:

9/20  

And the second event, with one less in each, would be:

8/19

The final probability then:

9/20 * 8/19 = 0.1895

So the probability of this happening is 18.95%

An army contingent of 104 members is to march behind an army band of 96 members in a parade.
Trava [24]

You can dispose a number x of elements in a matrix-like formation with n\times m shape if and only if n and m both divide x, and also nm=x.


So, we need to find the greatest common divisor between 104 and 96, so that we can use that divisor as the number of columns, and then.


To do so, we need to find the prime factorization of the two numbers:


104 = 2^3\times 13

96 = 2^5 \times 3


So, the two numbers share only one prime in their factorization, namely 2, but we can't take "too many" of them: 104 has "three two's" inside, while 96 has "five two's" inside. So, we can take at most "three two's" to make sure that it is a common divisor. As for the other primes, we can't include 3 nor 13, because it's not a shared prime.


So, the greater number of columns is 2^3=8, which yield the following formations:


104 \to 8\times 13

96 \to 8\times 12
