Answer:

B. 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x + 42)° and (18x - 12)° are alternate interior angles. If line l is parallel to line m, therefore,

6x + 42 = 18x - 12

Solve for the value of x. Combine like terms.

6x - 18x = -42 - 12

-12x = -54

Divide both sides by -12

-12x/-12 = -54/-12

x = 4.5

Therefore, x = 4.5 would prove lines l and m are parallel to each other.

Monitors manufactured by TSI Electronics have life spans that have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1900 hours

lana [24]

Answer:

0.9641 = 96.41% probability that the life span of the monitor will be more than 15,579 hours.

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:

$\mu = 19000, \sigma = 1900$
