The answer is 20,106 basically “B”
Answer:
The length of DB is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
I know it doesn't look EXACTLY like the one in the diagram but I just followed the measurements provided
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle
baseline × height / 2
in our case
baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²
height = 6×baseline - 16
baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60
baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60
3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60
baseline = x
3x² - 8x - 60 = 0
general solution to a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 3
b = -8
c = -60
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =
= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =
= (8 ± 28)/6
x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6
x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3
x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.
so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.
height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in
base = 6 in
Answer: the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = life expectancy of the brand of tire in miles.
µ = mean
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 40000 miles
σ = 5000 miles
The probability that a randomly selected tire will have a life of exactly 47,500 miles
P(x = 47500)
For x = 47500,
z = (40000 - 47500)/5000 = - 1.5
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.067
