The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle has a length of 12. what could be the lengths of the two segments of the hypo
tenuse ?
1 answer:
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse
h²=x*y
where
h is the length of t<span>he altitude to the hypotenuse
h=12
x and y are </span>the two segments of the hypotenuse
so
12²=x*y----------> 144=x*y
<span>the lengths of the two segments of the hypotenuse could be
x=6
y=24
x*y=144
the answer is
6 and 24</span>

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 1851 people would have an IQ less than 115.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:
The proportion of IQ scores less than 115 is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 115</u>, hence:
Z = 1
Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.8413.
Out of 2200 people:
0.8413 x 2200 = 1851.
