Answer:

14.63% probability that a student scores between 82 and 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 72.3, \sigma = 8.9

What is the probability that a student scores between 82 and 90?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 90 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 82. So

X = 90

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

Z = \frac{90 - 73.9}{8.9}

Z = 1.81

Z = 1.81 has a pvalue of 0.9649

X = 82

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

Z = \frac{82 - 73.9}{8.9}

Z = 0.91

Z = 0.91 has a pvalue of 0.8186

0.9649 - 0.8186 = 0.1463

14.63% probability that a student scores between 82 and 90

The right rectangular prism is made up of 48 cubes. Each cube has an edge length of inch. What is the volume of this prism?
Gnesinka [82]

Given:

  • The right rectangular prism is made up of 48 cubes.
  • Each cube has an edge length of 1/4 inch.

~

To Find:

  • What is the volume of this prism?

~

Solution:

~

<u>Using formula: </u>

~

  • \sf \pmb {Volume  \: of \:  cube =  {(side)}^{3} }

~

Substituting values in the formula:

~

\sf \longrightarrow  \dfrac{1}{4}  \times  \dfrac{1}{4}  \times  \dfrac{1}{4}

\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{64}  \:  {inch}^{3}

~

Now,

Volume of 48 such cubes = Volume of 1 cube × 48 cubes

~

\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{1}{64}  \times 48

\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{48}{64}

\sf \longrightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}  \:  {inch}^{3}

~

Hence,

  • Volume of prism is <u>3/4 inch^3</u>

PLEASE HELP FAST!!! While bisecting a line segment, Kara has just drawn two arcs, one passing through each endpoint. Which of th
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Kara should plot points where the arcs intersect above and below the line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bisection of a line segment is the dividing of the line segment into two equal parts. To bisect a line segment, you have place your compass on the endpoints and measure a distance greater than half of the segment. The point of intersection of the arcs both above and below the segment is then joined thereby bisecting the line.

Since Kara has already drawn the two arcs which are greater that half of the length, all Kara needs to do is plot points where the arcs intersect above and below the line segment.

Question:
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2

part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4

part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).

we know that

The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

Let

z ----> the scale factor

\frac{CB}{C'B'}=\frac{CD}{C'D'}=\frac{BD}{B'D'}

The scale factor is equal to

z=\frac{CB}{C'B'}

substitute

z=\frac{4}{8}

simplify

z=\frac{1}{2}

Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?

<em>Area of the small triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4\ units^2

<em>Area of the large triangle</em>

A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(8)=16\ units^2

ratio of the areas (small to large)

ratio=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}

Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures

In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
