Question 18 Item 18 The distribution of the number of moths captured per night by a certain moth trap is approximately normal wi

th mean 103. If 28 percent of the captures fall below 76 per night, which of the following equations can be used to find σ, the standard deviation of the distribution?

Answer:

Standard deviation 46.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A 28% of the distribution is equivalent to a z score of -0.5828, you can use a z table to find that.

Z score is calculated as follows:

z = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

x is the number being evaluated

μ is the mean

σ is the standard deviation

And it is used to calculate how many standard deviations you are from the mean of the sample.

Replacing with the known information you can calculate the standard deviation:

\sigma=\frac{x-\mu}{z} =\frac{76-103}{-0.5828}= 46.3

Which step is the same in the construction of parallel lines and the construction of a perpendicular line through a point on the
madam [21]

Answer:

D.Place the compass on a point on the original line.

Complete Question:

A.Create only one arc that intersects the original line.

B.Create two arcs that intersect the original line.

C.Place the compass on a point off the original line.

D.Place the compass on a point on the original line.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the steps of constructing parallel lines and a perpendicular line through a point on the line

<em># Contracting parallel lines</em>

- Given: Line AB and point P not on AB

1. Draw a slant line through point P and intersects AB at point C, this line is the transversal of the parallel lines

2.<u> Place the pin of the compass at point C</u> and draw an arc intersects AB at D and CP at E

3. Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the compass on point P and draw an arc intersects CP at point Q

4. Use the compass to measure the distance from D to E and place the pin of the compass at point Q and draw an arc intersects the arc from P to CP at point U

5. Join P and U by a line this line is parallel to AB

<em># Constructing a perpendicular line through a point on the line</em>

- Given line AB and point P lies on it

1. <u>Place your compass pin at P </u>and draw an arc of any size below AB that crosses the line twice at points C and D

2. Stretch the compass to a larger distance

3.<u> </u>Place the compass pin on point C<u> </u>and draw a small arc above the line

4. Without changing the distance of the compass place the compass pin on point D and draw another arc intersects the arc from C at point E

5. Using a straightedge, join P and E where PE is perpendicular to AB

*<em> Lets find the same steps in the constructions</em>

∵ In first construction we put the pin of the compass at point C which  lies in the original line AB

∵ In second construction we put the pin of the compass at point P which lies in the original line AB

∴ The common step is:  <em><u>"Place the compass on a point on the original line"</u></em>
