The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 = c^2 - b^2 where a and b = legs and c = hypotenuse

a^2 = 100^2 - 60^2

a^2 =10000 - 3600

a^2 = 6400

a= √6400

a = 80

Answer

The length of the other leg = 80 units

For this, we will be using the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 . Since we have the hypotenuse and one of the legs, we can solve for the other leg. Our equation will look like this: x^2+60^2=100^2

Firstly, solve the exponents: x^2+3600=10000

Next, subtract 3600 on both sides: x^2=6400

Next, square root both sides, and your answer will be x = 80 units

The speed of cars on a stretch of road is normally distributed with an average 51 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 5.
Oliga [24]

Answer: 0.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The speed of cars on a stretch of road is normally distributed .

Population Mean = \mu=51\text{ miles per hour}

Standard deviation : \sigma= 5.9\text{ miles per hour}

Let x be the random variable that represents the speed of cars on a stretch of road .

z-score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 50.

z=\dfrac{50-51}{5.9}\approx-0.17

By using the standard normal distribution table ,

The probability that a randomly selected car is violating the speed limit of 50 miles per hour :-

P(x>50)=1-P(x\leq50)=1-P(z\leq-0.17)\\\\=1- 0.4325051=0.5674949\approx0.57\\
