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

Mathematics

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.

Recall that all three angles in a triangle equals 180.
Knowing this, we just have to add up all the angles and figure out what the value 'x' is.

(x-22 + x-17 + 3x+19) = 180
Simplify:
5x - 20 = 180
Add 20 to both sides:
5x = 200
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 40

Now that we found the value for x, we need to solve for angle A.
Simply input the value of 'x' into angle A's equation:
40 - 22 = 18

Angle A = 18 degrees

Good luck! If you need me to explain anything, just ask :))

Suppose a car going 65 mph is traveling north parallel to a train going 50 mph. Once the front of the car is as far north as the
scoray [572]

Answer:

0.75 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we have to find the difference in the distance the train and car travelled

65/60 is 1.083333 which is miles per minute then multiplied by 3 is 3.25 mile gone in 3 minutes

For the train it is 50/60 which is 0.833333 and the times 3 is 2.5 miles in three minutes

3.25 miles minus 2.5 miles is 0.75 miles so that is how long the train is

Is math important in real life?
Dmitrij [34]
Yes- though we may say "When will we ever use this?" ever so often in class, the reality is that we use mathematics in everyday life. From simple addition, to factoring, to finding the angles of various components to a building, math is always being used in real life.

Factoring trinomials
Tcecarenko [31]

c^22c^2 + 13c +21 \\4c^2 + 13(2)c + 42\\(2c + 6)(2c+7)\\(c+3)(2c+7)


This is a way to factoring trinomials (there exist different equivalent methods).

Multiply the trinomial but the term accompanying  c^2. This is the second line. Then, you could take the square of the 4c^2, ant try to create a factor () () that will correspond to the expression in the second line. That is, we want 4c^2 + 13(2) c + 42 = (2c + ?) (2c + ?)

In ? we put the corresponding numbers that, if we multiply them we will obtain 42, and if we add them we will obtain 13. This numbers are 6 and 7. Then, we have (2c + 6) (2c +7)

The last step is divide by the number that we multipy in the first step.
