All sides are equal in an equilateral triangle and the perpendicular bisects the side too.
so BC will be bisected and the segments be 5 each.
you can use Pythagoras theorem to find the altitude length, hypotenuse will be one side of the triangle.
$h^2=100-25=75$
$h=\sqrt{75}=5\sqrt3$
We have been given that the distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 38 and a standard deviation of 6. We are asked to find the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.
First of all, we will find z-score corresponding to 38 and 56.
Now we will find z-score corresponding to 56.
We know that according to Empirical rule approximately 68% data lies with-in standard deviation of mean, approximately 95% data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean and approximately 99.7% data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean that is .
We can see that data point 38 is at mean as it's z-score is 0 and z-score of 56 is 3. This means that 56 is 3 standard deviation above mean.
We know that mean is at center of normal distribution curve. So to find percentage of data points 3 SD above mean, we will divide 99.7% by 2.
Therefore, approximately of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 38 and 56.
