tan(72)= \frac{y}{x}  ; tan(55)= \frac{y}{2.2 + x}
y=xtan(72);y=(2.2+x)tan(55)
So we are to merge the two equations into one, since both of the equations are equal to y. a = b, b = c therefore, a = c.
xtan(72)=2.2tan(55)+xtan(55)
We are to isolate x.
x[tan(72)-tan(55)]=2.2tan(55)
x=\frac{2.2tan(55)}{tan(72)-tan(55)}
The value of x is approximately, 1.9047m
Then, substitute the value of x from y=xtan(72)
y=1.9047tan(72)
y = 5.862m
Round up, then the answer would be D.

A study of more than 3,000 toco toucans found that their weights were approximately Normally distributed, with a mean
ANTONII [103]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

  • P(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.  
  • After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • Mean of 20 ounces, hence \mu = 20.
  • Standard deviation of 2.3 ounces, hence \sigma = 2.3

P(Y < 16) is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 16</u>, hence:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{16 - 20}{2.3}

Z = -1.74

Z = -1.74 has a p-value of 0.041.

This is valid for the entire population, hence, the correct interpretation is:

  • P(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces
