Answer:

P(57

P(-0.67

P(-0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lifetime for a TV of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(61,6)  

Where \mu=61 and \sigma=6

We are interested on this probability

P(57

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(57

And we can find this probability like this:

P(-0.67

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.67

Find the missing lengths.
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

x = 5√2

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the right is a special right triangle, so we know that the adjacent side to 60° is 5. Since the left triangle is a 45-45-90, the hypotenuse is the leg times √2, so the value of x is 5√2

I need help please! ​
Sophie [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium = ½*(AD + BC)*AB

Area = 42 cm²

AD = (x + 8) cm

BC = (x + 5) cm

AB = x cm

Plug in the values into the equation

42 = ½((x + 8) + (x + 5))*x

42 = ½((x + 8 + x + 5)*x

42 = ½(2x + 13)*x

Multiply both sides by 2

42*2 = (2x + 13)*x

84 = 2x² + 13x

2x² + 13x = 84

Subtract both sides by 84

2x² + 13x - 84 = 0
