As the mean is E[X] =150 and \sigma = 30, using the normal distribution to get the answer is just using Z. So, what we need is P(X<180). 

Z=  \frac{x-E[X]}{\sigma } = \frac{180-150}{30} =  \frac{30}{30} = 1

P(x<180) = P(z< 1) = \phi(1) = 0.8413. 

Then, just multiplying the amount of books you have, which is 500, with the probability would give how many books are less than 180 pages, being:
0.8413 * 500 = 420.65

Write an expression for the area of the shaded region in its simplest form. Show all of your steps.
netineya [11]
The area of the shaded region is going to be the area of the rectangle minus the area of the square.

Area of a rectangle is L * W.
A = L * W
A = (x + 10)(2x + 5)
A = x(2x + 5) + 10(2x + 5)
A = 2x^2 + 5x + 20x + 50
A = 2x^2 + 25x + 50 .....this is the area of the rectangle

area of a square is : A = a^2...where a is one side
A = (x + 1)^2
A = (x + 1)(x + 1)
A = x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1)
A = x^2 + x + x + 1
A = x^2 + 2x + 1

now we subtract the area of the square from the area of the rectangle to get the area of the shaded region.

2x^2 + 25x + 50 - (x^2 + 2x + 1) =
2x^2 + 25x + 50 - x^2 - 2x - 1 =
x^2 + 23x + 49 <== the area of the shaded region

Find the value of x ​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

x = 68°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ DCB = ∠ EDC = 27° ( alternate angles )

Thus ∠  ECB = 23° + 27° = 50°

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

x = 180° - (62 + 50)° = 180° - 112° = 68°

All the items on the sale rack were 75 percent off their original price.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

112 $ is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

x \times 0.75 = 84 \\ x = 84 \div 0.75 \\ x = 112

you have to think that the original price multiplied by 0.75 (also known as 75%) gave the result of what he saves i.e 84 $. So we put up an equation with the original price multiplied by 75% which equals the 84 $ he saved on buying that item on sale
