Answer:

0.620

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches, so, 5 feet is equivalent to 60 inches. Then, we are looking for the probability that a typical female from this population is between 60 inches and 67 inches. We know that

\mu = 65.7 inches and

\sigma = 3.2 inches

and the normal density function for this mean and standard deviation is

\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi } 3.2}exp[-\frac{(x-65.7)^{2}}{2(3.2)^{2}} ]

The probability we are looking for is given by

\int\limits^{67}_{60} {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi } 3.2}exp[-\frac{(x-65.7)^{2}}{2(3.2)^{2}} ] } \, dx =0.620

You can use a computer to calculate this integral. You can use the following instruction in the R statistical programming language

pnorm(67, 65.7, 3.2)-pnorm(60, 65.7, 3.2)

In triangle ABC above, AD is perpendicular to CB. If the lengths of AD and CB were both increased by 50%, how would the area of
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle.

The area of a triangle is given as:

A = (1/2) * b * h

where b = base of triangle, h = height of triangle , A = area

Let BC = base = x, and AD = height = y, hence:

A = (1/2) * x * y = 0.5xy

If the lengths of AD and CB were both increased by 50%, hence:

new AD = y + 0.5y = 1.5y, new CB = x + 0.5x = 1.5x

The new area= (1/2) * 1.5y * 1.5x = 1.125xy

Increased area / area = 1.125xy / 0.5xy = 2.25

If the lengths are increased by 50%, the area would also increase and the new area would be 2.25 times
