Answer:

P(x

We can calculate the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{14.6-13.1}{1.5}= 1

So for this case 14.6 is a value 1 deviation above the mean

We know that within 1 deviation from the mean we have 68% of the data, and on the tails we will have 100-68 = 32% and 16% on each tail, so then we can conclude that:

P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule, also known as three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, "is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ)".

Let X the random variable who represent the lifespans of meerkats.

From the problem we have the mean and the standard deviation for the random variable X. E(X)=13.1, Sd(X)=1.5

So we can assume \mu=13.1 , \sigma=1.5

On this case in order to check if the random variable X follows a normal distribution we can use the empirical rule that states the following:

• The probability of obtain values within one deviation from the mean is 0.68

• The probability of obtain values within two deviation's from the mean is 0.95

• The probability of obtain values within three deviation's from the mean is 0.997

And we want the following probability:

P(x

We can calculate the z score given by:

z =\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}= \frac{14.6-13.1}{1.5}= 1

So for this case 14.6 is a value 1 deviation above the mean

We know that within 1 deviation from the mean we have 68% of the data, and on the tails we will have 100-68 = 32% and 16% on each tail, so then we can conclude that:

P(X

In a triangle find the Remote exterior angle given the remote interior angles are 27 and 53
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:We can use equations to represent the measures of the angles described above. One equation might tell us the sum of the angles of the triangle. For example,

x + y + z = 180

We know this is true, because the sum of the angles inside a triangle is always 180 degrees. What is w? We don't know yet. But, we may observe that the measure of angle w plus the measure of angle z = 180 degrees, because they are a pair of supplementary angles. Notice how Z and W together make a straight line? That's 180 degrees. So, we can make a new equation:

w + z = 180

Then, if we combine the two equations above, we can determine that the measure of angle w = x + y. Here's how to do that:

x + y + z = 180 (this is the first equation)

w + z = 180 (this is the second equation)

Now, rewrite the second equation as z = 180 - w and substitute that for z in the first equation:

x + y + (180 - w) = 180

x + y - w = 0

x + y = w

Interesting. This tells us that the measure of the exterior angle equals the total of the other two interior angles. In fact, there is a theorem called the Exterior Angle Theorem which further explores this relationship:

Exterior Angle Theorem

The measure of an exterior angle (our w) of a triangle equals to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles (our x and y) of the triangle.

Let's try two example problems.

Example A:

If the measure of the exterior angle is (3x - 10) degrees, and the measure of the two remote interior angles are 25 degrees and (x + 15) degrees, find x.

First example of finding an exterior angle

To solve, we use the fact that W = X + Y. Note that here I'm referring to the angles W, X, and Y as shown in the first image of this lesson. Their names are not important. What is important is that an exterior angle equals the sum of the remote interior angles.
