Answer:

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

250 sheets, each sheet has mean 0.08 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm.

So for the book.

\mu = 250*0.08 = 20, \sigma = \sqrt{250}*0.01 = 0.158

What is the probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick (not including the covers)

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 20.2. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20.2 - 20}{0.158}

Z = 1.27

Z = 1.27 has a pvalue of 0.8980

1 - 0.8980 = 0.1020

10.20% probability that a randomly chosen book is more than 20.2 mm thick

Area of the figure = 30.28 m²

Solution:

The given image is splitted into two shapes.

One is rectangle and the other is semi-circle.

Length of the rectangle = 6 m

Width of the rectangle = 4 m

Area of the rectangle = length × width

                                    = 6 m × 4 m

                                    = 24 m²

Area of the rectangle = 24 m²

Diameter of the semi-circle = 4 m

Radius of the semi-circle = 4 m ÷ 2 = 2 m

Area of the semi-circle = \frac{1}{2} \ \pi r^2

                                      $=\frac{1}{2} \times 3 .14 \times 2^2

                                      =6.28

Area of the semi-circle = 6.28 m²

Area of the figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of the semi-circle

                              = 24 m² + 6.28 m²

                              = 30.28 m²

Area of the figure = 30.28 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Just move the 3 up a value

If it's in the ten's place, then move it to the hundred's place value.

If it's in the hundred's place, then move it to thousand's place value.

So on and so on...

What are the solutions of the equation (x - 6) (x - 8) =8
enot [183]

Answer:

x=4  x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6) (x - 8) =8

We need to multiply out the left side

x^2 -8x -6x+48 = 8

x^2 -14x +48 = 8

Subtract 8 from each side

x^2 -14x +48-8 = 8-8

x^2 -14x+40 =0

We need to factor the left side.  What two numbers multiply to give 40 and add to give -14

-4*-10 = 40

-4+-10 = -14

(x-4) (x-10) =0

Using the zero product property

x-4=0  x-10 =0

x=4  x=10
