Normal Distribution. Cherry trees in a certain orchard have heights that are normally distributed with mu = 112 inches and sigma

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly chosen tree is greater than 140 inches is 0.0228.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Cherry trees in a certain orchard have heights that are normally distributed with $\mu = 112$ inches and $\sigma = 14$ inches.

To find : What is the probability that a randomly chosen tree is greater than 140 inches?

Solution :

Mean - $\mu = 112$ inches

Standard deviation - $\sigma = 14$ inches

The z-score formula is given by, $Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Now,

$P(X>140)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{140-\mu}{\sigma})$

$P(X>140)=P(Z>\frac{140-112}{14})$

$P(X>140)=P(Z>\frac{28}{14})$

$P(X>140)=P(Z>2)$

$P(X>140)=1-P(Z$

The Z-score value we get is from the Z-table,

$P(X>140)=1-0.9772$

$P(X>140)=0.0228$

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen tree is greater than 140 inches is 0.0228.

Work out the height of a parallelogram with a base of 10m and an area of 60m2

noname [10]

Area formula of a parallelogram is
A = base x height

Given are the
Area = 60 m² and base = 10 m

Substitute the given:

60 = 10h (divide by 10 to find value of h)
$\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10h}{10}$ (10 and 10 cancels out)

h = 6
The height of a parallelogram with a base of 10m and an area of 60m² is 6m

Simplify the complex fraction.

lilavasa [31]

Given:

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}$

To find:

The simplified fraction.

Solution:

Step 1: Simplify the numerator

$$\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}=\frac{4^3 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}=\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}$

Step 2: Simplify the denominator

$$\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}=\frac{16 r}{3^2 t^{2}}= \frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}}$

Step 3: Using step 1 and step 2

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}=\frac{\left(\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}} \right)}$

Step 4: Using fraction rule:

$$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}}=\frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}$

$$\frac{\left(\frac{64 r^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{9 t^{2}}\right)}=\frac{64r^3 \cdot 9t^2}{16 r \cdot 15 t^4}$

Cancel the common factor r and t², we get

$$=\frac{64 r^{2} \cdot 9 }{16 \cdot 15 t^2 }$

Cancel the common factors 16 and 3 on both numerator and denominator.

$$=\frac{4 r^{2} \cdot 3 }{ 5 t^2 }$

$$=\frac{12 r^{2} }{ 5 t^2 }$

$$\frac{\left(\frac{(4 r)^{3}}{15 t^{4}}\right)}{\left(\frac{16 r}{(3 t)^{2}}\right)}=\frac{12 r^{2} }{ 5 t^2 }$

The simplified fraction is $\frac{12 r^{2} }{ 5 t^2 }$ .

Can anyone help me with dis

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Slope is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:

Step 1 - $x_2-x_1=change_.in_.x$
