Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation: 20% can also be written as 0.2 and if you know the number then you would multiply it by 0.2, then if you needed to add 11 that is exactly how you would write that equation

Leah is building a slide for her kids. if the latter is 7 feet tall and she wants the bottom of the slide to be 4 feet from the

nadezda [96]

The line needs to be 8.06 m long

Explanation

Given that the ladder is 7 feet tall and the bottom of the slide should be 4 m away from the ladder.

The ladder,slide and the ground connecting them makes the sides of a right angled triangle with ladder as the height and ground as the base.

base=4m

height=7m

hypotenuse can be determined using pythagoras law

$b^{2} +h^{2} =H^{2} \\x^{2} 4^{2}+ 7^{2}= H^{2} \\16+49=H^{2} \\H=\sqrt{65} \\=8.06 m$

Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length

nataly862011 [7]

We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.

We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{Shadow of statue}}=\frac{\text{Height of Wally}}{\text{Shadow of Wally}}$

Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}$

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}\times \text{164 cm}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}\times \text{164 cm}$

$\text{Height of statue}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{1}\times 4$

$\text{Height of statue}=272\text{ inches}$

Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.

A soft-drink machine can be regulated so that it discharges an average of μ oz. per cup. If the ounces of fill are Normally dist

sattari [20]

Answer:

μ = 5.068 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution formula to use the table attached

Z = (x - μ)/σ

where μ is mean, σ is standard deviation, Z is on x-axis and x is a desired point.

98% of 6-oz. cups will not overflow means that the area below the curve is equal to 0.49; note that the curve is symmetrical respect zero, so, 98% of the cases relied between the interval (μ - some value) and (μ + some value)].

From table attached, area = 0.49 when Z = 2.33. From data, σ = 0.4 oz and x = 6 oz (maximum capacity of the cup). Isolating x from the formula gives

Z = (x - μ)/σ

2.33 = (6 - μ)/0.4

μ = 6 - 2.33*0.4

μ = 5.068

This means that with a mean of 5 oz and a standard deviation of 0.4 oz, the machine will discharge a maximum of 6 oz in the 98% of the cases.
