The height of tower A is 1016 feet and tower B is 212 feet.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose , the height of tower B is $h$ feet.

As the height of tower A is 802 feet more than tower B , so the height of tower B will be : $(h+802) feet$

Given that, the two towers have a combined height of 1226 feet.

So, the equation will be...

$h+(h+802)=1226\\ \\ 2h=1226-802\\ \\ 2h=424\\ \\ h= \frac{424}{2}=212$

Thus, the height of tower B is 212 feet and height of tower A is (212+802) feet = 1016 feet.

An arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a constant difference of 5

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} n=n^{th}\ term\\ a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\ \hrulefill\\[0.5em] a_3=8\\ n=3\\ d=5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5 \\\\\\ 8=a_1+10\implies -2=a_1 \\\\\\ \begin{cases} a_1=-2\\ d=5 \end{cases}\implies a_n=-2+(n-1)d$

The average score of all pro golfers for a particular course has a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 3.0 (Think of these as

bija089 [108]

Answer:

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 70

Standard Deviation, σ = 3

Sample size, n = 36

Let the average score of all pro golfers follow a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71)

$\text{Standard error of sampling} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{36}} = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = P(\displaystyle\frac{70 - 70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{71-70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}}) = P(0 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z \leq 0)\\= 0.977 - 0.500 = 0.477= 47.7\%$
