Answer:

the probability that two 18 year old boys chosen at random will have heights greater than 185cm is 0.403

Step-by-step explanation:

P( x > 193) = 0.15

= 1- p(x less than or equal 193)

= 1 -p( z < (x- u) /sigma)

= 1- p( z< (193 - 187)/ sigma)

= 1- p( z< 6/ sigma)

P(z< 6/sigma) = 1 - 0.15

P(z < 6/sigma)= 0.85

6/sigma =1.036

Sigma= 6/1.036

Sigma= 5.79

P( x> 185) = 1- p( x< 185)

= 1- p (z < (185- 187)/5.79)

= 1- p( z< -0.345)

= 1- 0.365

= 0.635

P (x> 185) = 0.635 × 0.635

=0.403

What is 2.8 as a fraction in simplest form
irina1246 [14]
2.8 = 2 + 0.8

*let's analyze the decimal 0.8 as a fraction

0.8 = 8/10

*but if we divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor of 2, we find that the fraction can be reduced to:

(8/2)/(10/2) = (4)/(5) = 4/5

*now evaluating the whole value of 2 (from the 2.8), we know there are a total of (5) - fifths in order to make a whole, so for 2 whole, we require:

2*(5/5) = (2*5)/5 = 10/5

*Now we add the fractions together:

2 = 10/5
0.8 = 4/5

10/5 + 4/5

*add numerators only, the denominator stays as a 5

(10 + 4)/5 = 14/5

*there are no common factors between 14 & 5 (other than 1, but that won't help reduce the fraction any), so the fraction is in it's simplest form:

answer is: 14/5

The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width. The perimeter is 96 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle
blagie [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L

Width = W

L=8 more than 2W

L = 8 * 2W

L = 16W

Perimeter = 96

perimeter is the lengths of all sides added together

so

2L + 2W = 96

we have

L = 16W

2L + 2W = 96

let's do substitution

put what L = into 2L + 2W = 96

so

2(16W) + 2W = 96

can you rearrange that to get w
