Assume a random variable x is normally distributed with mean = 90 and standard deviation = 5. Find the indicated probability.

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

The indicated probability is actually the area under the standard normal curve to the left of the mean.  I used the function normalcdf( on my TI-83 Plus calculator to find this quantity:

normalcdf(-1000,85,90,5) = 0.1587.

Note #1:  This quantity (area / probability) is the area to the left of 85.

Note #2:  by the Empirical Rule, 68% of data lies within 1 s. d. of the mean, so the area between the mean (90) and the score (85) is half of 68%, or 34%.  Subtracting this from 50% (the area to the left of the mean), we get 16%, which is roughly equivalent to the 0.1587 we got earlier.

You have to divide 288 ÷3 that will give you 96 with no remainder. you can check by multiplying 96×3 that will give you 288 . so you have no remainder. no reams were stored

Find the values of x, y, and z. The diagram is not to scale.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x= 81°, z= 99°, y°=68°

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the part of the triangle where 36° , 63° and x° is located as ΔABC.

to find the measure of x we use angle sum property.

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is always 180°. Therefore, if we know the two angles of a triangle, and we need to find its third angle, we use the angle sum property. We add the two known angles and subtract their sum from 180° to get the measure of the third angle.

so,

∠A + ∠B +∠C = 180°

36° + 63° + x° = 180°

99° + x° = 180°

x° = 180 - 99

x° = 81°

When two lines intersect each other at a single point, linear pairs of angles are formed. If the angles so formed are adjacent to each other after the intersection of the two lines, the angles are said to be linear. If two angles form a linear pair, the angles are supplementary, whose measures add up to 180°.

x° + z° = 180°

81° + z = 180°

z= 180 - 81

z= 99°

considering the next part of the triangle where 13° , z° and y° is located as ΔACD

to find the measure of y we use angle sum property.

∠A + ∠C + ∠D = 180°

13° + z° + y° = 180°

13°+99°+y°= 180°

112°+ y° = 180°

y°= 180- 112

y° = 68°
