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

A ball was dropped from a height of 60m. Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped. Ho
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The ball traveled 116.25 m when it hit the ground for the fifth term

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression exercise and what we are asked to look for is the sum of a GP.

The ball was dropped from a height of 60 m. This means that the initial height of the ball is 60 m.

First value, a = 60

Each time it hit the ground, it bounced up 1/2 (half) of the height that it dropped.

This is the common ratio, r = 1/2 = 0.5

The number of terms it hits the ground is the number of terms in the GP.

number of terms, n = 5

The distance traveled by the ball when it hit the ground for the fifth term will be modeled by the equation:

S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^n) }{1 - r} \\S_5 =  \frac{60(1 - 0.5^5) }{1 - 0.5}\\S_5 =  \frac{58.125}{0.5} \\S_5 = 116.25 m

If sin phi sin theta = 0.2 and sin phi cos theta = -0.3 and sin phi &gt; 0 what is theta ? Repeat for sin phi &lt; 0.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

θ = -33.69°

Step-by-step explanation:

For Φ>0 and Φ<0  (in general Φ≠nπ  where n is an integer), sin(Φ) ≠ 0

Dividing both equations:

\frac{sin(\phi) sin(\theta)}{sin(\phi)cos(\theta)} = tan(\theta) = 0.2/(-0.3)=-2/3\\

Therefore:

arctan(θ) = -2/3

  θ = -33.69°

The answer does not depend on the sign of Φ, in fact we just need that the sine does not become zero, which occurs when Φ is equal to an integer times π (radians) or 180 (degrees)

Have a nice day!
