Answer:

93.32% probability of obtaining a value less than or equal to -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = -10, \sigma = 2

What is the likelihood of obtaining a value less than or equal to -7?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = -7.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{-7 -(-10)}{2}

Z = \frac{3}{2}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332.

So there is a 93.32% probability of obtaining a value less than or equal to -7.

What is the volume of this right rectangular prism? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. cm³ A rectangular prism with a le
Irina-Kira [14]
The volume of a rectangular prism is equivalent to the equation Bh. But to find the base you must first do lw or in this equation 6.1 times 5.4. That equals to 32.94. You then use the height, or in this case 8 and multiply it times 32.94. Your final answer should be 263.52 cm. cubed.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine which of the following give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle
Masteriza [31]

Answer: 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the measures of the legs and hypotenuse given to form a right angle triangle, they must be Pythagorean triples. A Pythagoras triple is a set of numbers that perfectly satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side². We will apply the theorem to each set of numbers given.

1) 3, 4, 5

5² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16

25 = 25

It is a Pythagorean triple

2) 4, 11, 14

14² = 11² + 4² = 121 + 16

196 = 137

It is a Pythagorean triple

3) 9, 14, 17

17² = 14² + 9² = 196 + 81

289 = 277

It is not a Pythagorean triple

4) 8, 14, 16

16² = 14² + 8² = 196 + 64

256 = 260

It is not a Pythagorean triple

5) 8, 15 , 17

17² = 15² + 8²

289 = 225 + 64

289 = 289

It is a Pythagorean triple

Therefore, 3, 4,5 and 17, 15,8

give the measures of the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle.
