Answer:

$d=16.1245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the formula to find distance <em>d</em>:

$d=\sqrt{(8-(-6))^2+(-3-5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(8+6)^2+(-8)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(14)^2+64}$

$d=\sqrt{196+64}$

$d=\sqrt{260}$

$d=16.1245$

<1 and <2 form a linear pair. If m<1= 4m<2, find the measure of each of the two angles.

Answer:

The angle ∠1 = x = 36°

The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when two lines meet or intersect, we get a linear pair of angles.

Linear pairs are basically two adjacent angles that form a line.

The measure of two adjacent angles forming a straight line is 180, meaning they are supplementary.

We are given that <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, and

m∠1 = 4m∠2

It means the angle ∠1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2.

Let the angle ∠1 be = x

As the angle 1 is 4 times the measure of angle ∠2, so

The angle 2 will be = 4x

As <1 and <2 forms a linear pair, thus the measure of the sum of <1 and <2 will be 180°, so

x + 4x = 180

5x = 180

divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 180/5

x = 36°

Therefore,

The angle ∠1 = x = 36°

The angle ∠2 = 4x = 4(36°) = 144°

Thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is 0.119.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is 0.119.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is 0.762.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5.0 millimeters (mm) and a standard deviation of 1.7 mm.

Let X = <u><em>thickness measurements of ancient prehistoric Native American pot shards discovered in a Hopi village.</em></u>

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=5.0,\sigma^{2} =1.7^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean thickness = 5.0 mm

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 1.7 mm

(a) The probability that the thickness is less than 3.0 mm is given by = P(X < 3.0 mm)

P(X < 3.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z < -1.18) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(b) The probability that the thickness is more than 7.0 mm is given by = P(X > 7.0 mm)

P(X > 7.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z > 1.18) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = <u>0.119</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

(c) The probability that the thickness is between 3.0 mm and 7.0 mm is given by = P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = P(X < 7.0 mm) - P(X $\leq$ 3.0 mm)

P(X < 7.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{7.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.18) = 0.881

P(X $\leq$ 3.0 mm) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{3.0-5.0}{1.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.18) = 1 - P(Z < 1.18)

= 1 - 0.8810 = 0.119

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.18 in the z table which has an area of 0.881.

Therefore, P(3.0 mm < X < 7.0 mm) = 0.881 - 0.119 = 0.762.

you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.

<h3>How many buses would it take to carry only the boys?</h3>

We know that there are (3 + 1/2) groups, such that each group fill one bus.

2/5 of the students are boys, then the number of groups that we can make only with boys is:

(2/5)*(3 + 1/2) = 6/5 + 1/5 = 7/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 2/5

Then you can make one and a little less than a half of a group, which means that you need 1 and 2/5 of a buss to transport the boys, rounding that to the a whole number, you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.

<h3>How far is Mark from his house?</h3>

The original distance is:

D = (2 + 3/4) miles.

But Mark only covers 2/3 of that distance, then we have:

d = (2/3)*D = (2/3)*(2 + 3/4) miles = (4/3 + 2/4) miles

d = (4/3 + 1/2) miles = (8/6 + 3/6) miles = (1 + 5/6) miles

Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
