Answer:
Both legs would be 20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.
I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.
Answer:
a) P(Y > 76) = 0.0122
b) i) P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = 0.00015
ii) P(Y > 76) = 0.0007
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - The heights of men in a certain population follow a normal distribution with mean 69.7 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.
To find - (a) If a man is chosen at random from the population, find
the probability that he will be more than 76 inches tall.
(b) If two men are chosen at random from the population, find
the probability that
(i) both of them will be more than 76 inches tall;
(ii) their mean height will be more than 76 inches.
Proof -
a)
P(Y > 76) = P(Y - mean > 76 - mean)
= P( ) >
)
= P(Z > )
= P(Z > )
= P(Z > 2.25)
= 1 - P(Z ≤ 2.25)
= 0.0122
⇒P(Y > 76) = 0.0122
b)
(i)
P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = (0.0122)²
= 0.00015
⇒P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = 0.00015
(ii)
Given that,
Mean = 69.7,
= 1.979899,
Now,
P(Y > 76) = P(Y - mean > 76 - mean)
= P( )) >
)
= P(Z > )
= P(Z > ))
= P(Z > 3.182)
= 1 - P(Z ≤ 3.182)
= 0.0007
⇒P(Y > 76) = 0.0007
