y =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Ry - wy = t ← factor out y from each term on the left side
y(R - w) = t ( divide both sides by (R - w ) )
y =
Answer:
The interval [32.6 cm, 45.8 cm]
Step-by-step explanation:
According with the <em>68–95–99.7 rule for the Normal distribution:</em> If is the mean of the distribution and s the standard deviation, around 68% of the data must fall in the interval
around 95% of the data must fall in the interval
around 99.7% of the data must fall in the interval
So, the range of lengths that covers almost all the data (99.7%) is the interval
[39.2 - 3*2.2, 39.2 + 3*2.2] = [32.6, 45.8]
<em>This means that if we measure the upper arm length of a male over 20 years old in the United States, the probability that the length is between 32.6 cm and 45.8 cm is 99.7%</em>
So this is essentially a proportion problem. They want you to be able to recognize a relationship between the two. The easiest way to go about this is to draw a picture (I have included one). What you want to do is notice that you are given both shadow lengths. This is essentially going to be your first step to creating the proportion.
Understanding that we know the shadow lengths, we can turn these into a fraction such as so:
4ft/20ft.
Now that we know that, we need to look at are unknown. Our unknown is the height of the utility pole. We can solve this by substituting for X since we know the utility worker is 5.5 ft tall.
Your fraction for that would look like:
5.5ft/X
Make sure to always make your top to top match, such as since I put the utility worker's shadow on top, I need to put his height on top.
Now we can solve.
4ft/20ft =5.5ft/X
We need to cross multiply to get an equation we can work with. If we cross multiply, Your equation will look like:
4x = 110ft
This is a simple one step equation. Divide both sides by 4 to get your answer.
x= 27.5ft.
This means your Utility pole's height is 27.5ft.
