Answer:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = 79.052%f using Standard Normal Distribution Tables

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know from normal distribution: z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD

where x = targeted value; Mu = Mean of Normal Distribution; SD = Standard Deviation of Normal Distribution

Therefore using given data: Mu = 14, SD = 1.2 we have z(x) by using z(x) = (x - Mu)/SD as under:

Approach 1 using Standard Normal Distribution Table:

z for x=17: z(17) = (17-14)/1.2 gives us z(17) = 2.5

z for x=13: z(13) = (13-14)/1.2 gives us z(13) = -0.83

Afterwards using Normal Distribution Tables we find the probabilities as under:

P(17) using z(17) = 2.5 gives us P(17) = 99.379%

Similarly we have:

P(13) using z(13) = -0.83 gives us P(13) = 20.327%

Finally in order to find out the probability between 17 & 13 years we have:

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = P(17) - P(13) = 99.379% - 20.327% = 79.052%

The standard normal distribution table is being attached for yours easiness.

Approach 2 using Excel or Google Sheets:

P(17) = norm.dist(17,14,1.2,1)

P(13) = norm.dist(13,14,1.2,1)

Percentage of armadillos between 13 and 17 years = { P(17) - P(13) } * 100

The school theater department made $2,142 on ticket sales for the three nights of their play. The department sold the same numbe
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

102 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the total number of tickets sold is n.

7n = 2142

 n = 2142 ÷ 7

 n = 306

They sold 306 tickets in total.

We want to know how much they sold per night. We know they sold the same number of tickets each night for three nights.

306 ÷ 3 = 102

Therefore, they sold 102 tickets each night.

I hope this helps :)

Please help me with #7
Dominik [7]

Step-by-step answer:

This is a regular heptagon, means it has 7 <em>congruent</em> sides and 7 <em>congruent </em>vertex angles.

To work with polygons, there is a very important piece of information that you must know to solve the majority of related problems.

This is:

sum of exterior angles of polygons = 360 degrees.

If you don't remember the 360 degrees, think of the sum of exterior angles of an equilateral triangle, which is 3*(180-60)=3*120=360!  It works!

For a regular heptagon, c = 360/7=51.43 degrees approx.

This means that each vertex angle measures

vertex angle = 180-c

So since 2d+the vertex angle = 360, we have

2d+(180-c)=360

solve for d:

2d=360-(180-c)=180+c

d=(180+c)/2=90+c/2=115.71 degrees. (approx.)
