Answer:

2.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the ramp, the ground and the back of the lorry to form a right triangle where the ramp is the hypotenuse and the distance from the back of the lorry is the adjacent side, x

Using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos32° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3

3 × cos32° = x, hence

x ≈2.5 m

marysya [2.9K]
We first determine the z-scores for the given x-values of 64 and 96.
For x = 64: z = (64 - 80) / 8 = -2
For x = 96: z = (96 - 80) / 8 = 2
Therefore we find the probability that -2 < z < 2, which is around 0.95. Therefore, out of 100 students, approximately 100(0.95) = 95 students will weigh between 64 and 96 pounds.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm

P(X<22)  = 0.1251

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given mean of the Population = 25cm

Given standard deviation of the Population = 2.60

Let 'x' be the random variable in normal distribution

Given x=22

Z = \frac{x-mean }{S.D} = \frac{22-25}{2.60} = -1.15

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm

P(X<22) = P( Z<-1.15)

             = 1-P(Z>1.15)

             =  1-( 0.5+A(1.15)

             =  0.5 - A(1.15)

             = 0.5 - 0.3749

             = 0.1251

The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm

P(X<22)  = 0.1251

1/4x – 2 = 3/8 Please show an equation and work. :)
Julli [10]
1/4x - 2 = 3/8

First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.
\frac{x}{4} - 2 =  \frac{3}{8}

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.
\frac{x}{4} =  \frac{3}{8} + 2

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)
\frac{x}{4} =  \frac{19}{8}

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.
x =  \frac{19}{8} \times 4

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.
x =  \frac{76}{8}

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8

Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.

Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.
76 \div 4 = 19 \\ 8 \div 4 = 2

Answer in fraction form: \fbox {x = 19/2}
Answer in decimal form: \fbox {x = 9.5}
