We will calculate this by using ratios and because these two triangles are similar, which is very important.

Explanation:

We see that the FG = 9 corresponds to the VU = 21. Therefore, FH = 18 corresponds to the UW = x.

9 : 21 = 18 : x

x = (21*18)/9

x = 378/9

x = 42.

The correct answer is B. 42.

Thirty percent of the people refused to work and just sat around. if 1400 people worked, how many just sat around?

Nezavi [6.7K]

30% can also be written as .3, which is easier to use in this case.

To find how many just sat around, multiply the number of people by the percentage of how many just sat around.

1400*.3=420

A recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.

Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 12.56, \sigma^{2} = 6.7^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean time = 12.56 hours

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 6.7 hours

So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X $\leq$ 12)

P(X < 15) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{15-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058

P(X $\leq$ 12) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{12-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)

= 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812

Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725

Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.
