What is the area of this figure?
1 answer:
First of all we can draw a parallel line to divide the figure into a triangle and a rectangle as shown in the figure. To find the area of our rectangle, remember that the area of a rectangle is length times width, so 
. Since we know for our figure that the length and width of our rectangle are 13cm and 6cm respectively, lets replace those values in our formula to get its area:
Similarly, the area of a triangle is one half times base times height, so
. Since we know that our base is 8cm and our height 6cm, lets replace those values in our equation to find the area of our triangle:
Now the only thing left is add our areas:
We can conclude that the correct answer is <span>A. 102</span>

The z scores corresponding to the mean weight of a rotten apple relative to the apples from either orchard are, respectively,
The mean for the standard normal distribution is 0, which means that z scores closer to 0 represent data points that are more likely to occur. Therefore it's reasonable to believe that rotten apples occur more often in shipments from Zippy's.
