The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.21 minutes and a st

andard deviation of 1.90. Find the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase. Is this outcome unusual?

Correct answer is: P(x<6) is 0.123 and it is usual.

Solution:-

Given that the time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase follows normal distribution. Which has mean = 8.21 minutes and standard deviation 1.90

Then probability of individual takes less than 6 minutes is

P(X<6) = $P(z$

= $P(z$

= 0.1230

Typically we say an event with a probability less than 5% is unusual.

But here P(X<6) = 0.123 is greater than 5% hence this is usual.

Help please!!! I will give a gold medal.

Well assuming that this would be a typical triangle, and not a right angle one, knowing that the sum of all sides adds up to 180 degrees, simply add all of the expressions and one value and make it equal to 180, and then solve for x.

(6x-1) + (X+14) + 20 = 180
6x - 1 + X + 14 = 160
7x - 1 + 14 = 160
7x + 13 = 160
7x = 147
X = 21.

Now solve for the angles by plugging in X.

A = 6x - 1 = 6(21) - 1 = 125 degrees
C = X + 14 = (21) + 14 = 35 degrees.

I believe these are the solutions.

At 1 p.m., there were 257 visitors in the museum.

trapecia [35]

Use function notation to represent this statement:

At 1 p.m., there were 257 visitors in the museum.

Answer: V(4)=257

Explanation: It says that the Museum opens at 9 so it would be 4 hours. And the 257 is the number of visitors at that time.

∆ABC has vertices A(–2, 0), B(0, 8), and C(4, 2)

Natali [406]

Answer:

Part 1) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB is $y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Part 2) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC is $y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}$

Part 3) The equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC is $y=-3x+4$

Part 4) The coordinates of the point P(0.091,3.727)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AB

we have

A(–2, 0), B(0, 8)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AB

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{8-0}{0+2}$

$m=4$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AB

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=-\frac{1}{4}$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-2+0}{2},\frac{0+8}{2})$

$M(-1,4)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AB

the slope is $m=-\frac{1}{4}$

passes through the point $(-1,4)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$4=(-\frac{1}{4})(-1)+b$

solve for b

$b=4-\frac{1}{4}$

$b=\frac{15}{4}$

so

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}$

Part 2) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side BC

we have

B(0, 8) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope BC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-8}{4-0}$

$m=-\frac{3}{2}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side BC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{0+4}{2},\frac{8+2}{2})$

$M(2,5)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of BC

the slope is $m=\frac{2}{3}$

passes through the point $(2,5)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$5=(\frac{2}{3})(2)+b$

solve for b

$b=5-\frac{4}{3}$

$b=\frac{11}{3}$

so

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{11}{3}$

Part 3) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector side AC

we have

A(–2, 0) and C(4, 2)

<em>step 1</em>

Find the slope AC

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2-0}{4+2}$

$m=\frac{1}{3}$

<em>step 2</em>

Find the slope of the perpendicular line to side AC

Remember that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

therefore

The slope is equal to

$m=-3$

<em>step 3</em>

Find the midpoint AC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M(\frac{-2+4}{2},\frac{0+2}{2})$

$M(1,1)$

<em>step 4</em>

Find the equation of the perpendicular bisectors of AC

the slope is $m=-3$

passes through the point $(1,1)$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute

$1=(-3)(1)+b$

solve for b

$b=1+3$

$b=4$

so

$y=-3x+4$

Part 4) Find the coordinates of the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors (P)

we know that

The point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is called the circumcenter.

Solve by graphing

using a graphing tool

the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors is P(0.091,3.727)
