We want to solve 9a² = 16a for a.

Because the a is on both sides, a good strategy is to get all the a terms on one side and set it equal to zero. Then we apply the Zero Product Property (if the product is zero then so are its pieces and Factoring.

9a² = 16a

9a² - 16a = 0 <-----subtract 16a from both sides

a (9a - 16) = 0 <-----factor the common a on the left side

a = 0 OR 9a - 16 =0 <----apply Zero Product Property

Since a = 0 is already solved we work on the other equation.

9a - 16 = 0

9a = 16 <----------- add 16 to both sides

a = 16/9 <----------- divide both sides by 9

Thus a = 0 or a = 16/9

a parallelogram has one angle that measures 55 degrees. what are the measures of the other angles in the parrelogram.

Ugo [173]

a parallelogram has four sides so all its angles add up to make 360

the angle across from the 55 would also be a 55 equaling a 110 degrees angle leaving you with 250 so your other two angles both equal 125

50 students live in a dormitory. The parking lot has the capacity for 30 cars. Each student has a car with probability 12 , inde

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

P(X is greater than 30) = 0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample proportion (p) = 0.5

Sample size = 30

The Binomial can be approximated to normal with:

$\mu = np = 50 \times 0.5 \\ \\ \mu= 25$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p) } \\ \\ \sigma = \sqrt{50 \times (0.5)(1-0.5) } \\ \\ \sigma = 3.536$

To find:

P(X> 30)

So far we are approximating a discrete Binomial distribution using the continuous normal distribution. 30 lies between 29.5 and 30.5

Normal distribution:

x = 30.5, $\mu$ = 25, $\sigma$ = 3.536

Using the z test statistics;

$z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

$z = \dfrac{30.5 - 25}{3.536}$

$z = \dfrac{5.5}{3.536}$

z = 1.555

The p-value for P(X>30) = P(Z > 1.555)

The p-value for P(X>30) = 1 - P (Z< 1.555)

From the z tables;

P(X> 30) = 1 - 0.9400

Thus;

P(X is greater than 30) = 0.06
