Answer:

20.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The figure attached below can be formed through the information given.</em>

<u>Step 1: Find angle y</u>

<em>All angles of a triangle are equal to 180°</em>

<em>67 + 39 + y = 180</em>

<em>y = 74°</em>

<u>Step 2: Use sin formula to find H</u>

<em>a/sin a = b/sin b</em>

<em>32/sin 74 = b/sin 39</em>

b = 20.9 feet.

The height of the tower is 20.9 feet.

A machine that cuts corks for wine bottles operates in such a way that the distribution of the diameter of the corks produced is
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A. P(x<3.85 or x>4.15)= P(x<3.85)+P(x>4.15) = 0.1336

Step-by-step explanation:

Working with an ordinary Normal Distribution of probability and trying to find the probabilities asked in it could be difficult, because there´s no easy method to find probabilities in a generic Normal Distribution (with mean μ=4 and STD σ=0.1). The recommended approach to this question is to use a process called "Normalize", this process let us translate the problem of any Normal Distribution to a Standard Normal Distribution (μ=0 and σ=1) where there´s easier ways to find probabilities in there. The "Normalization" goes as follows:

Suppose you want to know P(x<a) of the Normal Distribution you are working with:

P(x<a)=P( (x-μ)/σ < (a-μ)/σ )=P(z<b)   ( b=(a-μ)/σ )

Where μ is the mean and σ is the STD of your Normal Distribution. Notice P(z<b) now it´s a probability in a Standard Normal Distribution, now we can find it using the available method to do so. My favorite is a chart (It´s attached to this answer) that contains a lot of probabilities in a Standard Normal Distribution. Let´s solve this as an example

A. We want to find the probability of the cork being defective (P(x<3.85) + P(x>4.15)). Now we find those separated and, then, add them for our answer.

Let´s begin with P(x<3.85), we start by normalizing that probability:

P(x<3.85)= P( (x-μ)/σ < (3.85-4)/0.1 )= P(z<-1.5)

And now it´s time to use the chart, it works like this: If you want P(z<c) and the decimal expansion of c=a.bd... , then:

P(z<c)=(a.b , d)

Where (a.b , d) are the coordinates of the probability in the chart. Keep in mind that will only work with "<" (It won´t work directly with P(z>c)) and we will do some extra work in those cases.

P(z<-1.5) is in the coordinates (-1.5 , 0)

P(z<-1.5)= 0.0668

P(x<3.85)= 0.0668

Now we are looking for P(x>4.15), let´s Normalize it too:

P(x>4.15)=P( (x-μ)/σ < (4.15-4)/0.1 )=P(z>1.5)

But remember the chart only work with "<", so we need to use a property of probability:

P(z>1.5)= 1 - P(z<1.5)

Using the chart:

P(z<1.5)=0.9332                             (1.5 , 0)

P(z>1.5)= 1 - 0.9332

P(z>1.5)= 0.0668

P(x>4.15)= 0.0668

And our final answer will be:

P(x<3.85 or x>4.15)= P(x<3.85)+P(x>4.15) = 0.1336

The population of Brazil was 162,300,000 in 1995. It was growing at a rate of about 2% per decade. Predict the population, to th
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The population is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the population of Brazil given its population in 1995 and her growth rate per decade.

Mathematically, we use an exponential function to calculate this population.

This can be written as P = I(1 + r)^n

where P is the population in 2015 which we are looking for,

I is the initial population which is 162,300,000

r is the rate of increase per decade given as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02,

n is the number of times between the years we are expecting this growth. The difference between the years 2015 and 1995 is 20 years which signifies 2 decades(1 decade is 10 years). Thus our n is 2

We plug these values into the equation above;

P = 162,300,000(1+0.02)^2

P = 162,300,000(1.02)^2

P = 168,856,920 which is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

The first step to solve this problem is to find the area of the rectangular piece of fabric.

A of triangle = bh/2

A = (14 cm) (6 cm) /2

A = 84 cm^2 / 2

A = 42 cm

And since there are 31 pieces of the fabric, the total area of all the pieces of fabric is:

31 pieces of fabric x 42 square centimeters per piece = 1,302 square centimeters

To computer how many congruent triangular patches can be cut, you have to divide the total area of the fabric pieces with the area of the congruent triangle:

1,302 square centimeters / 21 square centimeters = 62

Therefore, Leia can cut 62 patches.
