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

Find the area of following rhombuses. Round your answers to the nearest tenth if<br> necessary.
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Area =55.4ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached rhombus

Required

The area

First, calculate the length of half the vertical diagonal (x).

Length x is represented as the adjacent to 60 degrees

So, we have:

\tan(60) = \frac{4\sqrt 3}{x}

Solve for x

x = \frac{4\sqrt 3}{\tan(60)}

\tan(60) = \sqrt 3

So:

x = \frac{4\sqrt 3}{\sqrt 3}

x = 4

At this point, we have established that the rhombus is made up 4 triangles of the following dimensions

Base = 4\sqrt 3

Height = 4

So, the area of the rhombus is 4 times the area of 1 triangle

Area = 4 * \frac{1}{2} * Base * Height

Area = 4 * \frac{1}{2} * 4\sqrt 3 * 4

Area =2 * 4\sqrt 3 * 4

Area =55.4ft^2

Which angle corresponds to 1/6 of a circle?
Basile [38]
360/6 = 60 degrees.

2pi/6 and pi/3 makes sense.

Out of 1/6 = 60 there's your answer.
