Hyp^2 = leg1^2 + leg2^2
hyp^2 -leg1^2 = leg2^2
17^2 - 8^2 = leg2^2
leg2^2 = 289 -64
leg2^2 = 225
leg2 = 15

$\frac{216}{x}= \frac{30}{100}$

cross multiply

$21600=30x$

divide both sides by 30

$720=x$

The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean mu = 15 in. and standard deviation si

Helga [31]

The percentage of the snakes is longer than 16.6 in. with a mean of 15 in. and a standard deviation of 0.8 in. is 2.275%.

<h3>What is a normal distribution?</h3>

It is also called the Gaussian Distribution. It is the most important continuous probability distribution. The curve looks like a bell, so it is also called a bell curve.

The z-score is a numerical measurement used in statistics of the value's relationship to the mean of a group of values, measured in terms of standards from the mean.

The lengths of a particular snake are approximately normally distributed with a given mean = 15 in. and standard deviation = 0.8 in.

Then the percentage of the snakes is longer than 16.6 in. will be

$z = \dfrac{ x - \mu }{ \sigma }\\\\z = \dfrac{16.6-15}{0.8}\\\\z = 2$
