Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let : x The length and y the width you have this system :

xy =60....(1)

x = y+10...(2)

put the value for x in (1):  (y+10)y =60

the quadratic equation is : y² +10y - 60 = 0

Δ =b² - 4ac        a = 1        b= 10      c= - 60

Δ =10² - 4(1)(-60) = 324 =18²

y 1 = (-10-18)/2 negatif...... refused

y 2 = (-10+18)/2 =4

the width is 4

Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 124 and a standard deviation of 6.4. If 64 people ar
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

99.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 124, the standard deviation (sd) 6.4 and the sample size (n) = 64

They ask us for P (x <126)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / (sd / (n ^ 1/2))

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (126 - 124) / (6.4 / (64 ^ 1/2))

z = 2.5

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <2.5) = 0.9938

The probability is 99.38%
