\mathbb P(X>250)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-190}{30}>\dfrac{250-190}{30}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.0228

Or, if you're familiar with the empirical rule and the basic properties of the normal distribution, you can use the fact that approximately 95/% of the distribution lies within two standard deviations of the mean, or

\mathbb P(|Z|

which means about 5\% of the distribution lies outside this interval, or

\mathbb P((-22))\approx0.05

Because the distribution is symmetric, you have

\mathbb P(-22)
\implies \mathbb P((-22))=\mathbb P(-22)=2\mathbb P(Z>2)\approx0.05
\implies \mathbb P(Z>2)\approx 0.025

Answer:

There is a 2.28% chance that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of books borrowed from a library each week follows a normal distribution. When a sample is taken for several weeks, the mean is found to be 190 and the standard deviation is 30.

To find : There is a ___% chance that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week ?

Solution :

Formula to find z-score is

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

Where, \mu=190 is the mean

\sigma=30 is the standard deviation

x=250 is the value

Substitute the value in the formula,

z=\frac{250-190}{30}

z=\frac{60}{30}

z=2

According to the normal distribution table,  P(z<2) = 0.9772

Now, The probability that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week will be

P(x>250)=P(z>2)= 1-P(z

Therefore, There is a 2.28% chance that more than 250 books were borrowed in a week.

Given the figure as marked, find the perimeter and area.
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Left triangle: it has two congruent legs because has an angle of 45 degrees

AB = \sqrt{ 2 * 6^2} = 6\sqrt{2} cm

the triangle on the the right is half on an equilateral one

BC = 12 cm

CH = 6√3 cm

AC= (6 + 6√3) cm

2p = 6 + 6√3 + 12 + 6√2 = 18 + 6√3 + 6√2 = 6(3 + √3 + √2) cm

Area = [6(1+√3)  * 6]/2 = 18(1+√3) cm^2

On moving day, Jorge needs to rent a truck. The length of the cargo space is 12 ft, and the height is 1 ft less than the width.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

12ft \times7ft \times6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that truck can hold = 504 ft^{3} i.e.

Volume, V = 504 ft^{3}

Length of cargo space = 12 ft

Let width of cargo space = w ft

As per question statement:

Let height of cargo space = (w-1) ft

To find: The Dimensions of Cargo Space

Formula for Volume of Cargo Space:

V = Length \times Width \times Height

Putting the given values and conditions:

504 = 12 \times w \times (w-1)

\Rightarrow w(w-1) = \dfrac{504}{12}\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w = 42\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -w - 42=0\\\Rightarrow w^{2} -7w +6w -42 =0\\\Rightarrow w(w -7) +6(w -7) =0\\\Rightarrow (w -7)(w+6) = 0\\\Rightarrow w =7, -6

Dimensions can not be negative, so width, w = 7 ft

Height = (w-1) = 7-1 = 6 ft

So, the dimensions are 12ft \times7ft \times6ft.

What is the 52nd term of the sequence below?
VladimirAG [237]
Because the difference between any term and the previous term is a constant, this is an arithmetic sequence because of that constant which is referred to as the common difference, d.  Which in this case is -35--38=-32--35=3

Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number.

In this case a=-38 and d=3 so

a(n)=-38+3(n-1)  which we can simplify to

a(n)=-38+3n-3

a(n)=3n-41, so the 52nd term is:

a(52)=3(52)-41

a(52)=156-41

a(52)=115

What actions did colonists take to protest the Townshend Acts?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The Townshend Acts would use the revenue raised by the duties to pay the salaries of colonial governors and judges, ensuring the loyalty of America's governmental officials to the British Crown. However, these policies prompted colonists to take action by boycotting British goods.
