Answer:

36 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use concept of basic proportionality theorem,

it states that , when a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle and intersect the other two sides then the two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Example:

In a triangle ABC

If DE is parallel to BC

D is a point on line AB and E is point on AC, then

by basic proportionality theorem)

AD/DB = AE/EC

_____________________________________

in the problem given one side has a parallel line drawn to it

Hence we can use basic proportionality theorem in it

20/30 = 24/?

2/3 = 24/?

=> ? = 24*3/2 = 36

Hence, missing segment value is 36 units.

Multiply (2.0 ⋅ 10−4) ⋅ (3.1 ⋅ 10−20). Express the answer in scientific notation. The options are:

Mkey [24]

(2.0×10^-4)×(3.1×10^-20)
=(2.0×3.1)×(10^4×10^-20)
=6.2×10^(-4+(-20))
=6.2×10^-24. Hope it help!

In a standard normal distribution, what z value corresponds to 17% of the data between the mean and the z value?

hjlf

You're looking for a value $z$ such that

$\mathbb P(0$

Because the distribution is symmetric, the value of $z$ in either case will be the same.

Now, because the distribution is continuous, you have that

$0.17=\mathbb P(0$

The mean for the standard normal distribution is $0$ , and because the distribution is symmetric about its mean, it follows that $\mathbb P(Z$ .

$0.17=\mathbb P(Z$

You can consult a $z$ score table to find the corresponding score for this probability. It turns out to be $z\approx0.4399$ .
