How would you describe the shape of the distribution of the data? How is it skewed?

jasenka [17]

Answer:

the normal distribution is a symmetric distribution with no skew. ... A left-skewed distribution has a long left tail. Left-skewed distributions are also called negatively-skewed distributions. That's because there is a long tail in the negative direction on the number line.

Use the formula V=pier ^2

klio [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cylinder = πr²h

πr²h = 127.23 cubic inches

3.14 * 3 * 3 * h = 127.23

h = 127.23 / 3*3*3.14

=127.23 * 100 /3*3*3.14*100

=12723/ 3*3*314

= 4241 / 3*314

=4241/ 942

=4.502 inches

h = 4.5 inches

triangle ABC is Isosceles CA and CB are equal AB is parallels to the x- axis. Work out the coordinate of A. Given that BC=5cm wo

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle ABC is 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the Isosceles triangle ABC.

The sides CA and CB are equal with measures, 5 cm.

The base angles are assumed to be x° each. Hence, the angle ACB is 2x°.

The altitude CP divides the base AB into two equal halves and the angle ACB is also cut into halves.

Consider the right angled triangle ACP.

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.

Determine the value of x as follows:

x° + x° + 90° = 180°

2x° = 90°

x° = 45°

Compute the length of side AP as follows:

$cos\ 45^{0}=\frac{AP}{CA}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{AP}{5}$

$AP =\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\AP=3.5$

Then the length of side AB is:

AB = AP + PB

= 3.5 + 3.5

= 7 cm

The perimeter of triangle ABC is:

Perimeter = AB + CA + CB

= 7 + 5 + 5

= 17

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle ABC is 17 cm.
