Answer:

the length is 12 and the width is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is always to assign letters to the variables.  We can call length L and width W.

Since all units are in cm, unit conversion is unnecessary.

Next, set up some equations.  L=2W-6 because of the first sentence of the problem.  Length times width equals area, so L*W=108.

Now that there are two equations and two variables, the next step is to solve the system.  I'm going to solve it by plugging in the right side of the first equation in for L in the second equation.  This gives me (2W-6)*W=108.  Distributing the W gives me 2W^2-6W=108, or W^2-3W-54=0.  Using the quadratic formula, I get that W=9.  Using the first equation, L=2*9-6=12.  So the length is 12 and the width is 9.

For some postive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770. The value of Z is
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

For some positive value of Z, the probability that a standardized normal variable is between 0 and Z is 0.3770.

This implies that:

P(0<Z<z) = 0.3770

P(Z < z)-P(Z < 0) = 0.3770

P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + P(Z < 0)

From the standard normal tables , P(Z < 0)  =0.5

P(Z < z) = 0.3770 + 0.5

P(Z < z) =  0.877

SO to determine the value of z for which it is equal to 0.877, we look at the

table of standard normal distribution and locate the probability value of 0.8770. we advance to the  left until the first column is reached, we see that the value was 1.1.  similarly, we did the same in the  upward direction until the top row is reached, the value was 0.06.  The intersection of the row and column values gives the area to the two tail of z.   (i.e 1.1 + 0.06 =1.16)

therefore, P(Z ≤ 1.16 ) = 0.877
