Answer:

Step 1. Between 688 and 1016mm. Step 2. Less than 688mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The <em>68-95-99.7 rule </em>roughly states that in a <em>normal distribution</em> 68%, 95% and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two and three standard deviation(s) around the mean. The z-scores <em>represent values from the mean</em> in a <em>standard normal distribution</em>, and they are transformed values from which we can obtain any probability for any normal distribution. This transformation is as follows:

\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} (1)

\\ \mu\;is\;the\;population\;mean

\\ \sigma\;is\;the\;population\;standard\;deviation

And <em>x</em> is any value which can be transformed to a z-value.

Then, z = 1 and z = -1 represent values for <em>one standard deviation</em> above and below the mean, respectively; values of z = 2 and z =-2, represent values for two standard deviations above and below the mean, respectively and so on.

Because of the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that approximately 95% of the values for a normal distribution lie between z = -2 and z = 2, that is, two standard deviations below and above the mean as remarked before.

<h3>Step 1: Between what values do the monsoon rains fall in 95% of all years?</h3>

Having all this information above and using equation (1):

\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}  

For z = -2:

\\ -2 = \frac{x - 852}{82}

\\ -2*82 + 852 = x

\\ x_{below} = 688mm

For z = 2:

\\ 2 = \frac{x - 852}{82}

\\ 2*82 = x - 852

\\ 2*82 + 852 = x

\\ x_{above} = 1016mm

Thus, the values for the monsoon rains fall between 688mm and 1016mm for approximately 95% of all years.

<h3>Step 2: How small are the monsoon rains in the driest 2.5% of all years?</h3>

The <em>driest of all years</em> means those with small monsoon rains compare to those with high values for precipitations. The smallest values are below the mean and at the left part of the normal distribution.

As you can see, in the previous question we found that about 95% of the values are between 688mm and 1016mm. The rest of the values represent 5% of the total area of the normal distribution. But, since the normal distribution is <em>symmetrical</em>, one half of the 5% (2.5%) of the remaining values are below the mean, and the other half of the 5% (2.5%) of the remaining values are above the mean. Those represent the smallest 2.5% and the greatest 2.5% values for the normally distributed data corresponding to the monsoon rains.

As a consequence, the value <em>x </em>for the smallest 2.5% of the data is precisely the same at z = -2 (a distance of two standard deviations from the mean), since the symmetry of the normal distribution permits that from the remaining 5%, half of them lie below the mean and the other half above the mean (as we explained in the previous paragraph). We already know that this value is <em>x</em> = 688mm and the smallest monsoons rains of all year are <em>less than this value of x = </em><em>688mm</em>, representing the smallest 2.5% of values of the normally distributed data.

The graph below shows these values. The shaded area are 95% of the values, and below 688mm lie the 2.5% of the smallest values.

Find the value of the variable.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x = 8, y = 8\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+8^2=c^2      Both 8 and x sides are congruent so they're equal.

64+64=c^2      Add 64 + 64.

c^2=128           Square root 128

c^2=8\sqrt{2}

Final answers: x = 8, y = 8\sqrt{2}

A jet climbs at a steady rate at an angle of inclination of 0.5 degree during game off what will its he height be after a 2.2 km
Aneli [31]
A right triangle will be formed with 2.2 km as the hypotenuse, 0.5 degrees as the angle, and an unknown height (see attachment).

Recall the trigonmetric ratios sine, cosine, and tangent that can be used for right triangles.
Sin<span>θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
</span>Cos<span>θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse
</span>tan<span>θ = opposite side / adjacent side
</span>θ (theta) refers to the angle (not the right angle). In this case, θ is the given angle of 0.5°.

In this problem, you will use sine because there is a side opposite to the angle (the unknown side h) and the hypotenuse, and sine relates those two sides.

Let the variable h represent the unknown opposite side, the height.
sin(0.5°) = h / (2.2km)
h = (2.2km)sin(0.5<span>°)
h = 0.019 km

Hope I helped! If you have questions on any of the steps, please comment below.</span>
