Find the missing measurement (indicated by a "?").
1 answer:
Answer:
The missing measurement is 9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The Area of a parallelogram is equal to
where
b is the length of any base
h is the corresponding altitude
The altitude (or height) of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (which may have to be extended).
In the figure, the altitude corresponding to the base is 4 miles
substitute
Solve for b
Divide by 4 both sides
therefore
The missing measurement is 9 miles

Answer:
0.62% probability that randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed distributions 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 question:
What is the probability that randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 40000. So
has a pvalue of 0.9938
1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062
0.62% probability that randomly chosen salary exceeds $40,000
