Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 4, y = 5

Discussion:

-2x + 5y = 17          (*)

x     +  y  = 9            (**)

Multiplying (**) by 2 gives

2x + 2y = 18            (***)

Adding (*) and (***) gives

(-2x + 5y) + (2x + 2y) = 17 + 18              =>

(-2x + 2x) + (5y + 2y)  =35                    => as -2x + 2x = 0 and 5y +2y = 7y

0 + 7y = 35                                           => divide both sides by 7

y = 35/7 = 5

Substituting y = 5 in (**) gives x + y = 9 or x + 5 = 9 => x = 9-5 = 4

Thank you,

MrB

PLEASE HELP!!!
Scilla [17]
You need the Law of Cosines here and you use it when you have 2 sides and an enclosed angle.  The side across from the angle is the one we are looking for.  The correct way to express the Law using what we have is the last choice above.  Side RT is the unknown, and it is across from the angle that is enclosed between the 2 other sides.

6. The heights of men selected from a particular population have a normal distribution with mean 68 inches and standard deviatio
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a) the proportion is 0.159 (15.9%)

b) the proportion is 0.524 (52.4%)

c) Ralph is 70.958 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

defining our random variable X= heights of men , then we can define the standard random variable Z as

Z= (X- μ)/σ , where  μ is the population's mean and σ is the corresponding standard deviation of X

then for X=72

Z= (X- μ)/σ

Z= (72-68)/4 = 1

a) P(X> 72) = P(Z> 1) = 1-0.841 = 0.159 (using standard normal distribution tables)

b) for X=64 and X=74

Z₁= (64 -68)/4 = -1

Z₂= (74-68)/4 = 1.5

then

P(68<X< 74) = P(-1<Z <1.5) 0 = P(Z<1.5) - P(Z<-1) =  0.933- 0.159 =0.774

c) Z₃ = 0.933 - 0.774*0.25 = 0.7395

thus

Z₃= (X₃- μ)/σ →X₃ =μ+ Z₃*σ = 68 + 0.7395*4  = 70.958 inches

therefore Ralph is 70.958 inches tall
