According to a random sample taken at 12 A.M., body temperatures of healthy adults have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean o

f 98.16˚F and a standard deviation of 0.56˚F. Using Chebyshev's theorem, what do we know about the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean? What are the minimum and maximum possible body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean?At least _______%of healthy adults have body temperatures within 2standard deviations of 98.16˚F.

Chebyshev’s Theorem establishes that at least 1 - 1/k²  of the population lie among k standard deviations from the mean.

This means that for k = 2,  1 - 1/4 = 0.75. In other words, 75% of the total population would be the percentage of healthy adults with body temperatures that are within 2standard deviations of the mean.

The maximum value of that range would be simply  μ + 2s, where μ is the mean and s the standard deviation. In the same way, the minimum value would be μ - 2s:

maximum = μ + 2s = 98.16˚F + 2*0.56˚F = 99.28˚F

minimum = μ - 2s = 98.16˚F - 2*0.56˚F  = 97.04˚F

In summary, at least 75% of the amount of healthy adults have a body temperature within 2 standard deviations of 98.16˚F, that is to say, a body temperature between 97.04˚F and 99.28˚F.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to this line and goes through the
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

x + 3y + 9 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x + 2

Coefficient of x = 3

Gradient (m) of line y= 3x + 2 is 3

Since the line passing through point

(3,-4) is perpendicular to line y=3x + 2

hence gradient (m) of the line is -1/3;

And hence it equation is given as;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-4) = -1/3(x - 3)

multiplying through by 3;

3 × y + 3 × 4 = 3 × -1/3(x - 3)

3y + 12 = -1(x - 3)

3y + 12 = -x + 3

x + 3y + 12 - 3 = 0

x + 3y + 9 = 0

Someone help me fast please
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Perimeter of WXY = WSY+WRX+XY</u>

<em>--> WSY = SY x 2</em>

--> WSY = 16 x 2 = 32

<em>Since it is an isosceles triangle, WRX = WSY</em>

--> WRX = 32

<em>--> Draw a straight line from W to XY to divide it into two halves assuming it to be point A. This would form a right angle triangle of WAX.</em>

<em>--> Solve it using the cos theta rule</em>

--> Angle = Angle X = 70°

    Hypotenuse = WRX = 32

    Adjacent = WA = ?

<em>--> Cos (Angle) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse</em>

    Cos (70) = WA/32

    WA = 10.9 rounded off to 11

--> WA=AY= 11

--> XY = WA + AY = 11+11 = 22

<em>--> Perimeter = WSY+WRX+XY</em>

    Perimeter = 32+32+22

    Perimeter = 86

Therefore, the perimeter of WXY is 86.
