<u>Answer:</u>

The probability of a randomly selected student scoring in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Scores on a test are normally distributed with a mean of 81.2  

And a standard deviation of 3.6.  

We have to find What is the probability of a randomly selected student scoring between 77.6 and 88.4?

For that we are going to subtract probability of getting more than 88.4 from probability of getting more than 77.6  

Now probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 - area of z – score of 88.4

\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\mathrm{score}=\frac{88.4-\mathrm{mean}}{\text {standard deviation}}=\frac{88.4-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{7.2}{3.6}=2

So, probability of getting more than 88.4 = 1 – area of z- score(2)

= 1 – 0.9772 [using z table values]

= 0.0228.

Now probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 - area of z – score of 77.6

\mathrm{Now}, \mathrm{z}-\text { score }=\frac{77.6-\text { mean }}{\text { standard deviation }}=\frac{77.6-81.2}{3.6}=\frac{-3.6}{3.6}=-1

So, probability of getting more than 77.6 = 1 – area of z- score(-1)

= 1 – 0.1587 [Using z table values]

= 0.8413

Now, probability of getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 = 0.8413 – 0.0228 = 0.8185

Hence, the probability of a randomly selected student getting in between 77.6 and 88.4 is 0.8185.

Answer:

B). 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

3.2/x = 4/7

Then, cross-multiply

4x = (3.2) 7

4x = 22.4

x = 5.6

A triangle has vertices X(2, 1), Y(5, 4), and Z(5, 1). What is the area of the triangle?
pochemuha

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They gave you an easy triangle. You can tell by the coordinates that X and Z are horizontally aligned, and Y and Z are vertically aligned, so Z is a right angle.

Area = 0.5(XZ)(YZ) = 0.5(3)(3) = 4.5 square units.

Help please with this math ;-; I beg of you
RSB [31]

Answer:

49 - 9π

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of white portion = area of triangle - area of circle

To find the area of the triangle:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using this formula

A=\frac{bh}{2} where b = base length and h = height

The height given is 7m and the base length given is 14m

That being said we plug in the given values into the formula

\frac{14*7}{2} \\14*7=98\\\frac{98}{2} =49

Hence, the area of the triangle is 49 sq meters.

To find the area of circle

( note that the area is in terms of pi; shown by the answer choices. )

Formula for area of a circle = A=\pi r^2

We are given the diameter  ( 6m )

However, we need the radius

To convert diameter to radius we divide by 2

6/2 = 3 so the radius = 3m

Now we plug in 3 into the formula

A=\pi 3^2\\3^2=9\\A=9\pi

Remember we do not apply pi because the answer should be in terms of pi.

Now we subtract the two

Area of white portion = 49 - 9π

Hence, the answer is A
