Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation shown can be solved this way.

  x^2 +(x -4)^2 = 20^2

  x^2 +x^2 -8x +16 = 400

  2x^2 -8x -384 = 0

  x^2 -4x -192 = 0

  (x -16)(x +12) = 0

The positive solution is ...

  x = 16

_____

Since this makes use of the Pythagorean theorem, you've probably run across the 3-4-5 triangle. You often find scaled versions of it in algebra and geometry problems. Here, it is scaled by a factor of 4 to give a 12-16-20 triangle as half of the display screen.

The 3-4-5 triple is the only Pythagorean triple that is an arithmetic sequence. So, if the difference in side lengths is 4 and the diagonal is 5×4, you can be pretty certain that x = 4×4 and x-4 = 4×3.

Using coupons, you spend $120 grocery shopping. This is 80% of the total retail price of the groceries. How much would you spend
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: The correct answer is $150.

Step-by-step explanation: If you did not use the coupons while shopping you would have spent $150. The method to calculate this is to divide the amount that you paid by the percentage that you paid.

The formula that you need to use is $120/.8 = $150.

Suppose a certain capsule is manufactured so that the dosage of the active ingredient follows the distribution Y ~ N(μ = 10 mg,
lianna [129]

Answer:

(a) Probability that Y falls into the dangerous region is 0.0013.

(b) Probability that the mean Y-bar falls into the dangerous region is 0.00001.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain capsule is manufactured so that the dosage of the active ingredient follows the distribution Y ~ N(μ = 10 mg, σ = 1 mg).

A dosage of 13 mg is considered dangerous.

Let Y = <u><em>dosage of the active ingredient </em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                                 Z  =  \frac{ Y-\mu}{\sigma} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 10 mg

            \sigma = standard deviation = 1 mg

(a) Probability that Y falls into the dangerous region is given by = P(Y \geq 13 mg)

       P(Y \geq 13 mg) = P( \frac{ Y-\mu}{\sigma} } } \geq \frac{ 13-10}{1} } } ) = P(Z \geq 3) = 1 - P(Z < 3)  

                                                          = 1 - 0.9987 = <u>0.0013</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 3 in the z table which has an area of 0.9987.

(b) We are given that a dosage of 13 mg is considered dangerous. And we sample 49 capsules at random.

Let \bar Y = sample mean dosage

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                                 Z  =  \frac{\bar Y-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 10 mg

            \sigma = standard deviation = 1 mg

            n = sample of capsules = 49

So, Probability that the mean Y-bar falls into the dangerous region is given by = P(\bar Y \geq 13 mg)

          P(Y \geq 13 mg) = P( \frac{\bar Y-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } } } \geq \frac{13-10}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{49} } } } } ) = P(Z \geq 21) = 1 - P(Z < 21)  

                                                             = <u>0.00001</u>
