Step-by-step explanation:

The reduced side ratios, shortest to longest are ...

AC : AT : CT = 8 : 9 : 15

OD : OG : DG = 5 : 6 : 10

These are different ratios, so the triangles are not similar.

Circle R has equation

Rudiy27

Answer:

The center is (-10,10) and the radius is 4sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = 48

We can write the equation of a circle as

(x -h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x- -10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = (sqrt(16*3) )^2

(x- -10)^2 + (y - 10)^2 = (4sqrt(3)) ^2

The center is (-10,10) and the radius is 4sqrt(3)

The weight of a small Starbucks coffee is a normally distributed random variable with a mean of 330 grams and a standard deviati

just olya [345]

Answer:

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

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:

$\mu = 330, \sigma = 12$

a. Highest 20 percent

At least X

100-20 = 80

So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.

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

$0.842 = \frac{X - 330}{12}$

$X - 330 = 12*0.842$

$X = 340.1$

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

There are 5 radar stations and the probability of a single radar station detecting an enemy plane is 0.55. What is the probabili

Lerok [7]

This is a binomial distribution with n = 5, p = 0.55, q = 1 - 0.55 = 0.45, x = 0, 1, 2, 3

P(x) = nCx p^x q^(n - x)
P(x ≤ 3) = 1 - P(x > 3) = 1 - [P(4) + P(5)]
P(4) = 5C4 x (0.55)^4 x (0.45) = 0.2059
P(5) = 5C5 x (0.55)^5 x 1 = 0.0503

P(x ≤ 3) = 1 - (0.2059 + 0.0503) = 1 - 0.2562 = 0.7438
