The weights of cars passing over a bridge have a mean of 3,550 pounds and standard deviation of 870 pounds. Assume that the weig

hts of the cars passing over the bridge are normally distributed. Use a calculator to find the probability that the weight of a randomly-selected car passing over the bridge is less than 3,000 pounds.

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315

Coach Stevens needs to purchase sprinklers to water the baseball field. The standard distance between bases is 90 feet and the i
egoroff_w [7]
If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those.  Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span> <span> <span> 66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet

Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.

I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.

Graph the following inequality. Then click to show the correct graph.<br><br><br>3x - 2y ≤ 6
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

We want to graph the inequality:

3x - 2y ≤ 6

The first step is to write this as a linear equation, to do it, we can isolate y in one side of the inequality.

3x  ≤ 6 + 2y

3x - 6  ≤ 2y

(3/2)x  - 6/2  ≤ y

(3/2)x  - 3  ≤ y

or:

y ≥ (3/2)x  - 3

Because we have the symbol ≥

The points on the line are solutions, then the first part is to graph the line:

y = (3/2)*x - 3

Next, we have:

y equal to or larger than  (3/2)*x - 3

Then we need to shade all the region above that line.

The graph can be seen below.
