Let us assume that total amount of Nathan's allowance = x
Amount of money deposited by Nathan into his savings account = 7x/9
Remaining amount that Nathan spent = $2.50
Now we have to get to the equation for solving the question asked.
7x/9 + 2.50 = x
7x + (9 * 2.50) = 9x
7x + 22.50 = 9x
22.50 = 9x - 7x
22.50 =2x
x = 22.50/2
   = 11.25
So $11.25 is the total allowance of Nathan.
Then The amount of money deposited by
Nathan in savings account = (7/9) * 11.25
                                           = 78.75/9
                                           = 8.75
So Nathan deposits $8.75 in his savings account.

One measure of an athlete’s ability is the height of his or her vertical leap. Many professional basketball players are known fo
almond37 [142]

Answer:

(1) P(\bar X < 26 inches) = 0.0436

(2) P(27.5 inches < \bar X < 28.5 inches) = 0.2812

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean vertical leap of all NBA players is 28 inches. Suppose the standard deviation is 7 inches and 36 NBA players are selected at random.

Firstly, Let \bar X = mean vertical leap for the 36 players

Assuming the data follows normal distribution; so the z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

            Z = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean vertical  leap = 28 inches

            \sigma = standard deviation = 7 inches

            n = sample of NBA player = 36

(1) Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 36 players will be less than 26 inches is given by = P(\bar X < 26 inches)

   P(\bar X < 26) = P( \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{26-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{36} } } ) = P(Z < -1.71) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.71)

                                                 = 1 - 0.95637 = 0.0436

(2) <em>Now, here sample of NBA players is 26 so n = 26.</em>

Probability that the mean vertical leap for the 26 players will be between 27.5 and 28.5 inches is given by = P(27.5 inches < \bar X < 28.5 inches) = P(\bar X < 28.5 inches) - P(\bar X \leq 27.5 inches)

    P(\bar X < 28.5) = P( \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{28.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } } ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058 {using z table}                      

    P(\bar X \leq 27.5) = P( \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{27.5-28}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{26} } } ) = P(Z \leq -0.36) = 1 - P(Z < 0.36)

                                                        = 1 - 0.64058 = 0.35942

Therefore, P(27.5 inches < \bar X < 28.5 inches) = 0.64058 - 0.35942 = 0.2812

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP WORTH 100 points get it right please
Trava [24]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

triangle QPR and triangle PSR are similar

Part B:

Triangle QPR is a right triangle with right angle QPR.

Triangle SPR is a right triangle with right angle PSR.

Angle QPR of triangle QPR corresponds to and is congruent to angle PSR of triangle PSR.

Angle R of triangle QSR corresponds to and is congruent to angle R of triangle PSR.

The similar triangles by AA Similarity are

triangle QPR and triangle PSR

Part C:

QR/PR = PR/SR

16/PR = PR/4

PR² = 16 * 4

PR² = 64

PR = 8
