Let X be the score on an english test which is normally distributed with mean of 31.5 and standard deviation of 7.3

μ = 31.5 and σ =7.3

Here we have to find score that separates the top 59% from the bottom 41%

So basically we have to find here x value such that area above it is 59% and below it is 49%

This is same as finding z score such that probability below z score is 0.49 and above probability is 0.59

P(Z < z) = 0.49

Using excel function to find the z score for probability 0.49 we get

z = NORM.S.INV(0.49)

z = -0.025

It means for z score -0.025 area below it is 41% and above it is 59%

Now we will convert this z score into x value using given mean and standard deviation

x = (z* standard deviation) + mean

x = (-0.025 * 7.3) + 31.5

x = 31.6825 ~ 31.68

The score that separates the top 59% from the bottom 41% is 31.68

If perpendiculars from any point within an angle on its arms are equal, prove that it lies on the bisector of that angle
Oxana [17]
Your question can be quite confusing, but I think the gist of the question when paraphrased is: P<span>rove that the perpendiculars drawn from any point within the angle are equal if it lies on the angle bisector?

Please refer to the picture attached as a guide you through the steps of the proofs. First. construct any angle like </span>∠ABC. Next, construct an angle bisector. This is the line segment that starts from the vertex of an angle, and extends outwards such that it divides the angle into two equal parts. That would be line segment AD. Now, construct perpendicular line from the end of the angle bisector to the two other arms of the angle. This lines should form a right angle as denoted by the squares which means 90° angles. As you can see, you formed two triangles: ΔABD and ΔADC. They have congruent angles α and β as formed by the angle bisector. Then, the two right angles are also congruent. The common side AD is also congruent with respect to each of the triangles. Therefore, by Angle-Angle-Side or AAS postulate, the two triangles are congruent. That means that perpendiculars drawn from any point within the angle are equal when it lies on the angle bisector

Solve the equation 425x=850
mina [271]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must isolate x. To do this, divide both sides by 425 because that is what x is being multiplied by (and dividing is its opposite). Then, you get the answer, x=2.
