Answer:

<u>The probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 1,739 and 1,800 lbs is 0.0218 or 2.18%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

μ of the weights of steers in a herd= 1,400 lbs

σ² = 40,000 ⇒ σ = √40,000 = 200 lbs

2. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 1,739 and 1,800 lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Let's find the z-score for 1,739 and 1.800, this way:

z-score = (X - μ)/σ

z-score = (1,739 - 1,400)/200

z-score = 339/200

z-score = 1.695 = 1.70 (rounding to the next hundredth)

z-score = (X - μ)/σ

z-score = (1,800 - 1,400)/200

z-score = 400/200

z-score = 2

Now, let's find p for z-score = 1.7 and p for z-score = 2, using the z-table, as follows:

p (z = 1.7) = 0.9554

p (z = 2) = 0.9772

In consequence,

p (1.7 ≤ z ≤ 2 ) = 0.9772 - 0.9554

p (1.7 ≤ z ≤ 2 ) = 0.0218

<u>The probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 1,739 and 1,800 lbs is 0.0218 or 2.18%</u>

Answer:

P(1739

(Correct to 4 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of a continuous normal variable X found in a particular interval [a, b] is the area under the curve bounded by x=a and x=b and is given by:

P(a

where

f(X)=\frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2 \pi} }e^{-\frac{1}{2} (\frac{x-u}{ \sigma} )^2}



f(X)=\frac{1}{200 \sqrt{2 \pi} }e^{-\frac{1}{2} (\frac{x-1400}{ 200} )^2}\\=\frac{1}{200 \sqrt{2 \pi} }e^{- \frac{(x-1400)^2}{ 80000}\\

P(1739

P(1739

Using a calculator,

P(1739

Which graph shows the solution of the inequality −|x − 2| + 9 &gt; 6?
mariarad [96]

answer is -1 < x < 5

-|x - 2|+ 9 > 6

Rearrange the terms

-|x - 2| > 6 - 9

-|x - 2| > - 3

then divide both sides of the inequality by the co- efficient of variable

|x - 2| < 3

convert the absolute inequality to standard inequality

-3 <x - 2 < 3

separate compound inequalities into system of inequality

{x - 2}> -3

{x - 2 < 3}

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x > -3 + 2                    

calculate the sum or difference

x > -1

x -2 < 3

Rearrange variable to the left side of the equation

x < 3 + 2

calculate the sum or difference

x < 5

x > -1 and x < 5

Find intersection

-1 < x < 5

Equations and inequalities are both mathematical sentences formed by relating two expressions to each other. In an equation, the two expressions are deemed equal which is shown by the symbol =. Where as in an inequality, the two expressions are not necessarily equal which is indicated by the symbols: >, <, ≤ or ≥.

Find the missing coefficient.<br><br> -<br> y2 − [-5y − y(-7y − 9)] − [-y (15y + 4)] = 0
maria [59]
There is only one solution in the given equation -y2 − [-5y − y(-7y − 9)] − [-y (15y + 4)] = 0. In solving this problem, apply first PEMDAS (parenthesis, exponents,multiplication, division, addition, subtraction). Then equation will transform into -y2+5y-7y2-9y+15y2+4y=0. Combine terms with same power and achieve 7y2=0. Divide both sides with 7 and perform square root of zero. Since the root is zero, we have one solution of the given equation which is y=0.

What is the measure of angle c?​
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! So first off, because this is NOT a right triangle, we can't use soh cah toa. That means we can either use the law of sines or the law of cosines.

Because we only have sides here and no angles, we are forced to use the law of cosines.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 − 2ab cos(C)

c = 6

b = 7.5

a = 6.5

36 = 6.5^2 + 7.5^2 - 2(6.5)(7.5)cos(C)

36 = 98.5 - 97.5cos(C)

-62.5 = -97.5cos(C)

0.641 = cos(C)

angle C = cos^-1(0.641)

angle C = 50.13 which is around 50 degrees

Remember! A dumb thing i always used to do in geometry was use radians instead of degrees, be sure to use degrees here because you are looking for degrees. Radians are for things involving not degrees, but PI.
