Hello!

That one inch is divided into eight even sections.

Look at the distance between where the insect's length ends and the "1". That space in between is how long each section is. It takes eight of those to make up one inch. The insect's length take up seven of the eight sections - almost an inch. So, the length of the insect is 7/8 in.

As for 0.875, that's the decimal form of the fraction. It means the same thing.

Answer:

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem we have that:

The average number of hours worked per week is 43.4, so \mu = 43.4.

Suppose 12% of these workers work more than 48 hours. Based on this percentage, what is the standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers.

This means that the Z score of X = 48 has a pvalue of 0.88. This is Z between 1.17 and 1.18. So we use Z = 1.175.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.175 = \frac{48 - 43.4}{\sigma}

1.175\sigma = 4.6

\sigma = \frac{4.6}{1.175}

\sigma = 3.91

The standard deviation of number of hours worked per week for these workers is 3.91.

If we wanted to prove quadrilateral MNOP was a parallelogram, which method below would not work?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

4) Doing two distance formulas to show that adjacent sides are not the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has opposite sides equals and parallel. Example of a parallelogram are rhombus, rectangle, square etc.

We can prove that a quadrilateral MNOP is a parallelogram. If we find the slopes of all four sides and compare those of the opposite ends, same slopes would indicate the opposite sides are parallel, hence the quarilateral is a parallelogram. We can also find the distance of two opposing sides, and slopes of twp opposing sides to determine whether it is a parallelogram or not. The most difficult approach is that diagonals bisect each other at same point.

However, using only two distance formulas will not give us enough information to determine whether a side is parallel or not.
