Answer:

a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or

between 191.1 and 315.7?

68%

b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 128.8 and 378.0?

95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical rule formula states that:

1) 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ .

2) 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or

between 191.1 and 315.7?

μ = mean = 253.4

σ = standard deviation = 62.3.

μ - σ

= 253.4 - 62.3

= 191.1

μ + σ

= 253.4 + 62.3

= 315.7

Therefore, the first empirical rule holds for Question a. This states that 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ .

Therefore, the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 191.1 and 315.7 is 68%

b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 128.8 and 378.0?

μ = mean = 253.4

σ = standard deviation = 62.3.

Applying the second rule of the empirical rule: this states that: 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

For x = 128.8

μ - 2σ

= 253.4 - 2 × 62.3

= 128.8

μ + 2σ

= 253.4 + 2 × 62.3

= 378

Therefore, the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 128.8 and 378.0 is 95%

You are standing on a small fire tower 50 feet from a tree. You notice a squirrel in the tree. You measure the angle of depressi
irina [24]

Answer:

44.81 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

In the right triangle ACD

Find the length side AC (height of the small fire tower)

tan(52^o)=\frac{AC}{50} ---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

Solve for AC

AC=tan(52^o){50}

AC=64\ ft

step 2

In the right triangle ABE

Find the length side AB

tan(21^o)=\frac{AB}{50} ---> by TOA (opposite side divided by the adjacent side)

solve for AB

AB=tan(21^o){50}

AB=19.19\ ft

step 3

How many feet off the ground is the squirrel?

Subtract the length side segment AB from the length side segment AC

so

64-19.19=44.81\ ft

HELP Luna observed that in the last 12 issues of Rise Over Run Weekly, 384 of the 960 pages contained an advertisement.
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Well, 12 issues end up as 960 pages total

so... if in 960 pages, 384 are ads, what about 80 pages?

well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
pages&ads\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
960&384\\
80&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{960}{80}=\cfrac{384}{x}

solve for "x"

What is the greatest common factor of 8 and 18?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: To find the greatest common factor or GCF of 8 and 18, we begin by finding all of the factors of each number.

To find the factors of 8, we know that 8 ÷ 1 is 8 so 1 and 8 are factors.

8 ÷ 2 is 4 so 2 and 4 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide 8 by 3, 4, 5, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

Now let's find the factors of 18.

18 ÷ 1 is 18 so 1 and 18 are factors.

18 ÷ 2 is 9 so 2 and 9 are factors.

18 ÷ 3 is 6 so 3 and 6 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide by 4, 5, 6, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.

Now that we have our list of factors, to find the greatest common factor, we simply find the largest number that is shared by the two lists.

Notice that our lists share a 1 but the largest number they share is a <em>2</em><em>.</em>

<em />

So the greatest common factor or <em>gcf</em> of 8 and 18 is 2.

I have also shown my work on the whiteboard.
