There are two triangles, a big triangle and a small triangle that is inside the big triangle. Because the base of the triangles are parallel to each other( indicated by the arrow), and the small triangle is perfectly inside the bigger triangle, the sides of the triangles are proportional.

It is know that the base of the small triangle is 3.5, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle is 7cm. it is also known that the the hypotenuse of the big triangle is (7+8)=15 and the base of the big triangle is unknown.

Since the triangles are proportional,
to find the base of the big triangle

base(big)/hypotenuse(big)=base(small)/hypotenuse(small)

Plug in the numbers

x/15=3.5/7
x/15=1/2
x=15/2
x=7.5

The length of the base of the big triangle is 7.5cm

If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then rotate it 90° clockwise about the origin, do you get the same result as if y

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Yes, reflecting a shape across the x-axis and then rotating it 90° clockwise about the origin gives the same results as reflecting it across the y-axis followed by rotating it 90° counterclockwise about the origin. This means these two sequences of transformations are equivalent.

Height of Dutch Men. Males in the Netherlands are the tallest, on average, in the world with an average height of 183 centimeter

trapecia [35]

Answer:

a) $P(X$

$P(z$

b) $P(X>195) =P(Z>\frac{195-183}{10.5})=P(Z>1.143)$

$P(z>1.143)=1-P(Z$

c) $P(173$

$P(-0.953$

d) $P(\bar X >190)=P(Z>\frac{190-183}{\frac{10.5}{\sqrt{1000}}}=21.08)$

And using a calculator, excel ir the normal standard table we have that:

$P(Z>21.08)=1-P(Z$

So for this case we expect anyone with a heigth higher than 190 cm in a random sample of 1000.

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".

Part a

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

$X \sim N(183,10.5)$
