Answer:
42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. 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, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
What is the probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 35 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 31. So
X = 35
has a pvalue of 0.5557
X = 31
has a pvalue of 0.1335
0.5557 - 0.1335 = 0.4222
42.22% probability that the weight is between 31 and 35 pounds
Answer:
129.8 approximately
Step-by-step explanation:
So this sounds like a problem for the Law of Cosines. The largest angle is always opposite the largest side in a triangle.
So 11 is the largest side so the angle opposite to it is what we are trying to find. Let's call that angle, X.
My math is case sensitive.
X is the angle opposite to the side x.
Law of cosines formula is:
So we are looking for X.
We know x=11, a=4, and b=8 (it didn't matter if you called b=4 and a=8).
Subtract 80 on both sides:
Divide both sides by -64:
Now do the inverse of cosine of both sides or just arccos( )
[these are same thing]
Time for the calculator:
X=129.8 approximately
