Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 8. If 100 people are

randomly selected, find the probability that their mean blood pressure will be greater than 122.

Answer:

0.0062

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable blood pressure.The information we are given are

mean blood pressure=μx=120

standard deviation blood pressure=σx=8

we have to find P(mean bp>122)=P(xbar>122).

P(Xbar>122)=P(xbar-μxbar/σxbar>122-μxbar/σxbar)=P(Z>122-μxbar/σxbar)

Now, we have to find μxbar and σxbar. We know that

μxbar=μx

σxbar=σx/sqrt(n).

So, μxbar=μx=120

σxbar=σx/sqrt(n)=8/sqrt(100)=0.8

P(Xbar>122)=P(Z>122-120/0.8)=P(Z>2.5)=P(0<z<∞)-P(0<z<2.5)

From normal distribution table P(0<z<2.5)=0.4938 and we know that P(0<z<∞)=0.5. So,

P(Xbar>122)=0.5-0.4938=0.0062

There is 0.62% chance that the mean blood pressure of 100 people will be greater than 122

an architect created plans for a house using a scale factor of 1:16 . In the plans, the floor of the house has an area of 7 squa
Yuki888 [10]
To figure this out you would need to create a rectangle with dimensions that give you an area of 7 ft.². The easiest example would be a rectangle that is one by seven. If the scale is 1:16, that means for every foot it is actually representing 16 feet. The actual length and width would be found by multiplying 1×16 and 7×16. The true dimensions then would be 16 x 112. Multiply this together to get a total area of 1792 ft.².

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to a3 + b3?
lubasha [3.4K]
ANSWER
{a}^{3}  + {b}^{3} = (a + b)( {a}^{2 }  - ab +  {b}^{2} )


EXPLANATION

To find the expression that is equivalent to
{a}^{3}  + {b}^{3}
we must first expand
{(a + b)}^{3}
Then we rearrange to find the required expression.


So let's get started.


{(a + b)}^{3}  = (a + b) {(a + b)}^{2}

We expand the parenthesis on the right hand side to get,



{(a + b)}^{3}  = (a + b) ( {a}^{2} + 2ab +  {b}^{2}  )



We expand again to obtain,

{(a + b)}^{3}  =  {a}^{3}  + 3 {a}^{2}b + 3a {b}^{2}   +  {b}^{3}


Let us group the cubed terms on the right hand side to get,

{(a + b)}^{3}  =  {a}^{3}   +  {b}^{3}  + 3 {a}^{2}b + 3a {b}^{2}




{(a + b)}^{3}  =  {a}^{3}   +  {b}^{3}  + 3ab (a+ b)





We make the cubed terms the subject,

{(a + b)}^{3}  - 3ab (a+ b) =  {a}^{3}   +  {b}^{3}

We factor to get,


(a + b)({(a + b)}^{2}  - 3ab ) =  {a}^{3}   +  {b}^{3}


We expand the bracket on the left hand side to get,

(a + b)( {a}^{2}  + 2ab +  {b}^{2}   - 3ab ) =  {a}^{3}   +  {b}^{3}


We finally simplify to get,

(a + b)( {a}^{2}   - ab +  {b}^{2}  ) =  {a}^{3}   +  {b}^{3}

You know the measure of the exterior angle which forms a linear pair with the vertex angle. Describe two ways you can find measu
aev [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair are two given angles whose sum is equal to 180^{o}.

Let the exterior angle be represented by x^{o}, and the three interior angles of the triangle be represented by a^{o}, b^{o} and c^{o}.

Assume that the vertex angle c^{o} is the linear pair to the exterior angle x^{o}.

i.e            x^{o} + c^{o} = 180^{o}  (sum of angles on a straight line)

Thus,

i. a^{o} +  b^{o} = x^{o}  (sum of two opposite interior angles is equal to an exterior angle)

⇒ a^{o}  = x^{o} - b^{o}

Also,

b^{o}  = x^{o} - a^{o}

But,

a^{o} + b^{o} + c^{o} = 180^{o}   (sum of angles in a triangle)

⇒ c^{o} = 180^{o} - (a^{o} +  b^{o})

and

a^{o} + b^{o} = 180^{o} - c^{o}

ii. a^{o} + b^{o} + c^{o} = 180^{o}   (sum of angles in a triangle)

a^{o} = 180^{o} - (b^{o} + c^{o})

Also,

a^{o} +  b^{o} = x^{o}

⇒ b^{o} = x^{o} - a^{o}

c^{o} = 180^{o} - x^{o}
