Answer:
The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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:

What is the minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers?
90th percentile
The 90th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28. So




The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6
0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
The answer is letter c. x2-8x+24-[72/(x+3)]. If you do not know how to solve this using the long division method, you can always evaluate the options through the process of elimination first. Since the degree of the other factor is already 1 (x to the power of 1), you know that option d. is not the correct answer because you know that the other factor must be raised to the power of 2. That leaves us with a, b and c. Working backwards and multiplying the given factor (x+3) with the factor in b, gives us x3-5x2+72. So from there, you know that you have to eliminate 72, which can be removed when it is subtracted by itself. Letter c does just that. Try multiplying (x+3) and option c for yourself :).
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Therefore,
x - 11 + 48 + 90 = 180
x + 127 = 180
x = 53°
