Need help with this problem its really complicated for me
1 answer:
You can write a proportion because the two triangles are similar
=
(the second fraction is longer because I added the full lengths of the larger triangle) cross multiply to get (x)(x + 1 + x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + x + 5)
which simplifies to (x)(2x - 1) = (x - 2)(2x + 5)
then 2x² - x = 2x² + 5x -4x - 10
then 2x² - x = 2x² + x - 10
then 2x² = 2x² + 2x - 10
subtract 2x² from both sides to get 0 = 2x - 10
add 10 to both sides to get 10 = 2x
divide both sides by 2 to get 5 = x

Answer:
a) 14960 bottles
b) 502 bottles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean (μ) = 24 ounces, standard deviation (σ) = 0.14 ounces
a) From empirical rule (68−95−99.7%) , 68% of the population fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean (μ ± 1σ).
Therefore 68% fall within 0.14 ounces of the mean
the number of bottle = 22,000*68% = 14960 bottles
b) To solve this we are going to use the z score equation given as:
where x is the raw score = 23.72
From the normal probability distribution table: P(X < 23.72) = P (Z < -2) = 0.0228
The number of rejected bottles = 22000 × 0.0228 = 502 bottles
