Answer:

Median =17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mean height of an adult giraffe is 17 feet. Suppose that the distribution is normally distributed with standard deviation 0.9 feet.

Let X be the height of a randomly selected adult giraffe.

X is a random variable.  

a) X is N(17, 0.9)

b) Median giraffe height = 17 ft since in normal distribution mean = median

c) When x = 18.5, Z = \frac{18.5-17}{0.9} =0.1667

d) P(X

e) P(16.9

f) 75th percentile for z is 0.675

x=17.9+0.9(0.675)\\= 18.5075

A grocer has 2 kinds of tea, one that sells for $8.00 per pound and the other that sells for $6.00 per pound. How many pounds of
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,

8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4

simplify,

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x + 300 = 370

and solve.

2x = 70

x = 35

This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.

We can subtract that from 50 to find,

50 - 35 = 15,

15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.

In the right triangle below, tanA = 0.45. What is the approximate length of AB?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

tanA = 0.45

tanA= \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

      =  \dfrac{BC}{AC}

⇒  \dfrac{BC}{AC}=0.45

⇒  \dfrac{9}{AC}=\dfrac{45}{100}

⇒  \dfrac{9}{AC}=\dfrac{9}{20}

⇒  AC= 20

Hence, by pythagoras theorem

AB²=AC²+BC²

AB²=20²+9²

AB²=481

⇒  AB=21.9 units

Hence,  the approximate length of AB is:

22 units
