AB = 30 in and BC = 50 in.

We use Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  Since AN is an altitude, this means that it is perpendicular to BC.  This means BN and AN are the legs of one right triangle, with AB being the hypotenuse:

18²+24² = AB²
324 + 576 = AB²
900 = AB²

Take the square root of both sides:
√900 = √AB²
30 = AB

NC and AN form the legs of the other right triangle, with AC being the hypotenuse:

24²+NC² = 40²
576 + NC² = 1600

Subtract 576 from both sides:
576 + NC² - 576 = 1600 - 576
NC² = 1024

Take the square root of both sides:
√NC² = √1024
NC = 32

BC = BN + NC = 18 + 32 = 50

A small business owner estimates his mean daily profit as $970 with a standard deviation of $129. His shop is open 102 days a ye
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and we select appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of <em>X</em>, i.e ∑<em>X</em>, will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \mu_{x}=n\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \sigma_{x}=\sqrt{n}\sigma

The information provided is:

<em>μ</em> = $970

<em>σ</em> = $129

<em>n</em> = 102

Since the sample size is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 102 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the shopkeeper's annual profit.

Then,

\sum X\sim N(\mu_{x}=98940,\ \sigma_{x}=1302.84)

Compute the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 as follows:

P (\sum X \leq  100,000) =P(\frac{\sum X-\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}

                              =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

If a projectile is modeled by a parabola, what could the x-intercepts represent?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer: The x-intercepts represents the points at which the parabola crosses the axis of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it exist then the x-intercepts represent the zeros,  roots, or quadratic function, the values of x at  y = 0. Then the  parabola does not cross the x-axis, so it has no zeros.
