4 0

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure in the question was split into the triangles in the attachment to the solution.

Now applying the principle of similar triangles, we have:

\frac{16}{x} = \frac{x}{9}

cross-multiplying, we have:

x^{2} = 16*9 = 144

solving for x,

x = 12

Find the probabilities for a standard normal random variable Z.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the attachment showing std normal curve symmetrical about y axis.

Equal probabilities on either side of the mean thus the total probability to the right of mean is 0.50

From the table we can find that

a) P(Z>2.5) = 0.5- area lying between 0 and 2.5

= 0.5-0.4938 =0.0062

b) P(1.2<z<2.2) = F(2.2)-F(1.2)

= 0.9861-0.3849

=0.6012

In ΔPQR, the measure of ∠R=90°, the measure of ∠P=26°, and PQ = 8.5 feet. Find the length of QR to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3.7feet

Step-by-step explanations

Using the sin rule

A/sin a = B/sin b

Let A = PQ = 8.5feet

B = QR = x feet

a = R = 90°

b = P = 26°

Substitute the values into the Sin rule

8.5/sin90 = x/sin26

8.5×sin 26 = x × sin 90

8.5×0.4383 = x× 1

3.7255 = x

Hence the length of QR to the nearest tenth 3.7feet
