Answer:11

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : girls=7:1

Sum of ratio=7+1=8

Let them number of girls be y

Then they number of boys=y+66

Total number of pupils=y+y+66

Total number of pupils=2y+66

Number of girls=(girls ratio)/(sum of ratio) x (total number of pupils)

y=1/8 x (2y+66)

Cross multiply

y x 8=2y + 66

8y=2y + 66

Collect like terms

8y-2y=66

6y=66

Divide both sides by 6

6y/6=66/6

y=11

The number of girls is 11

A town has three roads that form an obtuse triangle. James wants to set up a refreshment stand so that the shortest distance fro

GarryVolchara [31]

He should set up the refreshment stand on the incenter of the obtuse triangle. The incenter of a triangle is described as the intersection between the angle bisectors of a triangle. The inradius are the line segments from the incenter of the triangle to each of the three sides of the triangle which are all equal. The inradius is depicted as the radius of an inscribed circle in the triangle. Therefore, the shortest equal distance from his stand to each road is C. on the incenter.

The average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 in

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Probability that average height would be shorter than 63 inches = 0.30854 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 inches.

Also, a random sample of 4 women from this population is taken and their average height is computed.

Let X bar = Average height

The z score probability distribution for average height is given by;

Z = $\frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)
