<h3>Answer: Choice D) 22.5</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

x = length of BC

AC = AB+BC

AC = 6 + x

CE = CD+DE

CE = 22+8

CE = 30

Triangles ACE and BCD are similar triangles (can be proven by the AA similarity theorem due to the fact that AE || BD)

Therefore the corresponding sides are proportional letting us set up the proportion below

AC/BC = CE/CD

(6+x)/x = 30/22 .... substitution

22(6+x) = 30x ... cross multiply

132+22x = 30x

132 = 30x-22x ..... subtract 22x from both sides

132 = 8x

8x = 132

x = 132/8 .... divide both sides by 8

x = 16.5

Now use this to find the length of AC

AC = 6+x

AC = 6+16.5

AC = 22.5

Can some one help me with this one please?

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

To find average, you need to add all numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers.

So, you would start with

95+87+98+88+93+91 and you would get 552, and then you would divide by 6

552÷6 gives you 92

That's your answer

What proportion of US women have a height greater than 69.5 inches?
kiruha [24]

Using the Normal distribution, it is found that 0.0359 = 3.59% of US women have a height greater than 69.5 inches.

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.

US women’s heights are normally distributed with mean 65 inches and standard deviation 2.5  inches, hence \mu = 65, \sigma = 2.5.

The proportion of US women that have a height greater than 69.5 inches is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 69.5</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{69.5 - 65}{2.5}

Z = 1.8

Z = 1.8 has a p-value of 0.9641.

1 - 0.9641 = 0.0359

0.0359 = 3.59% of US women have a height greater than 69.5 inches.
