Answer:

69.15% probability that a randomly selected unit from a recently manufactured batch weighs more than 3.75 ounces.

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}

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:

Mean of four ounces, so \mu = 4

Variance of .25 squared ounces. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so \sigma = \sqrt{0.25} = 0.5

What is the probability that a randomly selected unit from a recently manufactured batch weighs more than 3.75 ounces?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 3.75. So

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

Z = \frac{3.75 - 4}{0.5}

Z = -0.5

Z = -0.5 has a pvalue of 0.3085.

So there is a 1-0.3085 = 0.6915 = 69.15% probability that a randomly selected unit from a recently manufactured batch weighs more than 3.75 ounces.

In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is three inches more than twice the length of one leg. If the other leg is 12 inches, what i
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Length of hypothenuse = 13 inches

Length of other leg = 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has three sides and three angles. A right angle triangle has 90 degrees as one of the angles. The remaining two angles are complimentary. This means that the sum if the other two angles is 90 degrees.

The longest side is the hypotenuse. The shorter sides are the opposite and adjacent.

In this triangle, the hypotenuse is three inches more than twice the length of one leg. Let the length of one leg be x inches.

Hypothenuse = 2x + 3

The other leg is 12 inches.

The diagram is illustrated in the attached photo.

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

Hypothenuse ^2 = adjacent^2 + opposite ^2

(2x+3)^2 = 12^2 + x^2

(2x+3)(2x+3)= 144 + x^2

4x^2 + 6x + 6x + 9 = 144 + x^2

4x^2 - x^2 + 6x + 6x + 9 - 144 = 0

3x^2 +12x - 135 = 0

3x^2 +27x - 15x - 135 = 0

3x(x+9)-15(x+9)=0

(3x -15)(x+9) = 0

3x -15 = 0 or x+9= 0

3x = 15 or x = -9

x = 15/3 = 5

x = 5inches because it cannot be negative.

Length of hypothenuse = 2x + 3

= 2×5 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 inches
