Answer:

The radius of a hexagon is called the apothem, which in this case is 15.

We need to know the side length which is found by the equation:

side length = apothem * 2 * (tan (180 / #sides))

side length = apothem * 2 * (tan (180 / 6))

side length = 15 * 2 * (tan (30 degrees))

side length = 30 * .57735

side length = 17.3205

We need the perimeter of the hexagon which equals the side length times six.

perimeter = 6 * 17.3205 = 103.923

Answer:

171 newspapers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 150, \sigma = 25$
