Answer:

LM = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given:

L is the midpoint of NM

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

LM =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x.

This can be obtained as follow:

Since L is the midpoint of NM, it means that NL and LM are equal i.e

NL = LM

Thus, we can obtain the value of x as follow:

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

NL = LM

3x + 1 = 8x - 24

Collect like terms

3x - 8x = - 24 - 1

-5x = - 25

Divide both side by - 5

x = -25/-5

x = 5

Finally, we shall determine the length of LM as follow:

LM = 8x - 24

x = 5

LM = 8(5) - 24

LM = 40 - 24

LM = 16

Therefore, the length of LM is 16

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

15,2% of American men are between 68.6 and 69.4 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

p(69)=0.19 tells you that 19% of all American men are 69in tall. Now, we want to know what percentage of those men are exactly between 68.6 and 69.4 inches tall. We only need to multiply the given density function by the gap between the two heights we are looking for, so:

0.19 * (69.4-68.6) = 0.19*0.8 = 0.152*100 = 15,2%
