Answer:

a=14 -0.842*3=11.474

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 11.474.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lengths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14,3)  

Where \mu=14 and \sigma=3

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.8   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.2 of the area on the left and 0.8 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842. On this case P(Z<-0.842)=0.2 and P(z>-0.842)=0.8

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.842

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 -0.842*3=11.474

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 11.474.

Only the triangles in figures <u>5 are congruent</u>

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Triangles are said to be congruent if:

  • 1. all three sides equal (SSS ---> side, side, side)
  • 2. two sides and the included angle of 2 triangles, are equal (SAS -> Side, Angle, Side)
  • 3. If the two angles and the included sides of the 2 triangles are equal (ASA -> Angle, Side, Angle)
  • 4. If the two angles and the non-included sides of 2 triangles are equal (AAS -> Angle, Angle, Side)

1. △ABC ≠ △DCE : not congruent

at least 3 parts (sides or angles) are compared, in the picture only 2 sides are compared

2. △ABC ≠ △XYZ : not congruent

the angles not includes between two sides

3. △RST ≠ △VUT : not congruent

a minimum of 3 parts (sides or angles) are compared, in the picture only 1 angle and 1 side are compared

4. △DEF ≠ △DHG :  not congruent

at least 3 parts (sides or angles) are compared, in the picture only 2 sides are compared

5. △JKL ≅ △KJM : congruent with ASA theorem

If $396 is invested at an interest rate of 13% per year and is compound continuously, how much will the investment be worth in 3
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The investment at the end of the period will be $584.89.

Step-by-step explanation:

FV = PV e⁽ⁿˣ⁾

FV = Future Value = ?

PV = Present Value = $396

n = Interest Rate = 13%

x = time in years = 3

e = mathematical constant = 2.7183

FV = 396 x 2.7183⁽⁰°¹³ ˣ ³⁾

FV = 396 x 1.4770

FV = $584.89
