Answer:

The probability is 0.06681

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we need to calculate the standard score or z-score

Mathematically, the standard score can be calculated using the formula;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

from the question, the mean is 514 and the standard deviation is 118

The z-score is thus = (691-514)/118 = 177/118 = 1.5

The probability we are trying to calculate is thus;

P(x ≥ 691) or P(z ≥ 1.5)

Using standard score table or calculator,

Recall, P( x < 691) = 1 - P( x ≥ 691)

Hence, P( x ≥ 691) = 1 - P( x < 691)

P( x ≥ 691) = 1 - 0.93319

= 0.06681

Patrick wants to buy a rug for a section of his living room. When he approaches a rug vendor, which measurement would be most ap
Kazeer [188]
Usually, rugs have a rectangular shape, therefore the section of the living room that Patrick wants to cover is a rectangle.

The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the length and the width of the rectangle:
A = l × w

Hence, the most appropriate measurements Patrick should provide are the length and the width of the section of his living room he wants to cover.

A sailboat drifts 600 meters west, makes a turn and sails 800 meters south. How far is the sailboat from its original position?
Bezzdna [24]
The <span>Pythagorean theorem</span> is what is most useful here, and a calculator; for the following...
Imagine forming a triangle by creating that last leg between the starting position and the ending position; the length of that side will be our missing variable "y".

600<span>² + 800</span>²= y<span>²

The sum of the two (600</span><span>² & 800</span>²) must then be square rooted to find the length

y² = 1,000,000 and the square root of y<span>²= 1,000 (YOUR ANSWER) "y"</span>
