Answer: 90% of people getting married for the first time get married before age of 31.13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average age (\mu) for a person getting married for the first time is 26 years (U.S. News and World Report, June 6, 1994).

We assume that  the ages for first marriages have a normal distribution with a standard deviation (\sigma) of 4 years.

Let x be the age before that 90% of people getting married for the first time get married.

From z-table , the value corresponds to p-value of 0.90 is 1.28155.

Formula : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

1.28155=\dfrac{x-26}{4}\\\\ x-26=4\times1.28155\\\\ x-26=5.1262\\\\ x=5.1262+26=31.1262\approx31.13

Hence, 90% of people getting married for the first time get married before age of 31.13.

Find the unknown side length x. ​
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

x = \sqrt{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude of the triangle must equal 4 because it is a right triangle with another leg of 3 and a hypotenuse of 5 (reason is due to the pythagorean theorem)

Therefore, the triangle on the right has legs of 4 and 7 and, again, use the phythagorean theorem to find 'x' (the hypotenuse)

4^{2} + 7^{2} = x^{2}

16 + 49 = x^{2}

65 = x^{2}

x = sq rt 65

Pauline is building a fence around her vegetable garden, what length of fence will she need to build?
Nuetrik [128]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 SEE ATTACHED IMAGE. 
 First we look for the hypotenuse of both triangles.
 Left triangle:
 Sine (68.1) = (1.75) / (h)
 h = (1.75) / Sine (68.1)
 h = 1.886108667
 h = 1.9m
 Right triangle:
 Sine (49.4) = (1.75) / (h)
 h = (1.75) / Sine (49.4)
 h = 2.304841475
 h = 2.3m
 Finally adding the perimeter:
 P = 5 + 1.9 + 2.75 + 2.3
 P = 11.95 m
 Answer: 
 she will need to build 11.95 m of fence

Write an equation for the line that goes through (-2,6) and is parallel to the line y=1/2x+9
katrin [286]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Therefore the new equation will have a slope(m) = 1/2

Substitute m = 1/2 and point (-2, 6) into y = mx + b to solve for "b"

y = mx + b

6 = 1/2(-2) + b

6 = -1 + b

7 = b

The new equation: y = mx + b

                                y = 1/2x + 7
