Answer:

3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you imagine the sentence, it is a right angled triangle. In this case, it's a Pythagoras Theorem. The formula for it is:

a²(opposite) + b²(adjacent) = c²(hypotenuse)

The building is the opposite, the distance between the foot of the ladder and the building is the adjacent, while the ladder is the hypotenuse.

We have the measurements except for the adjacent. So it will be:

c² - a² = b²

5² - 4² = b²

25 - 16 = b²

9 = b²

√9 = b

b = 3 ft

The answer is 3 ft.

Birth Weights Babies born after a gestation period of 32-35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 6
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The z-score for the 34-week gestation period baby is 0.61

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating a z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

We are told in the question that:

Babies born after a gestation period of 32-35 weeks have a mean weight of 2600 grams and a standard deviation of 660 grams. Also, we are supposing a 34-week gestation period baby weighs 3000grams

The z-score for the 34-week gestation period baby is calculated as:

z = (x-μ)/σ

x = 3000, μ = 2600 σ = 660

z = 3000 - 2600/660

= 400/660

=0.6060606061

Approximately, ≈ 0.61
