consider X-axis along the east-west direction and north-south direction along Y-axis
A = magnitude of distance traveled by hiker in north-east direction = 30 kilometer
θ = angle of direction of displacement of the hiker relative to x-axis or east direction = 45 degree counterclockwise
A' = component of distance traveled by the hiker along the east direction.
Since the angle is given with the x-axis, the Sin provides the component in Y-direction. hence
Using the equation
A' = A Sinθ
Inserting the values
A' = (30) Sin45
A' = 21.2 km
Use similarity property:
14 / (14+6) = 21 / (21 + (x+4))
14/20 = 21/(x+25) cross multiplication property
14*(x+25) = 20*21
14x + 350 = 420
14x = 70
x = 70/14 = 5.
Answer:
5ft
Step-by-step explanation:
8/10=0.8
4/0.8=5
Let X be the national sat score. X follows normal distribution with mean μ =1028, standard deviation σ = 92
The 90th percentile score is nothing but the x value for which area below x is 90%.
To find 90th percentile we will find find z score such that probability below z is 0.9
P(Z <z) = 0.9
Using excel function to find z score corresponding to probability 0.9 is
z = NORM.S.INV(0.9) = 1.28
z =1.28
Now convert z score into x value using the formula
x = z *σ + μ
x = 1.28 * 92 + 1028
x = 1145.76
The 90th percentile score value is 1145.76
The probability that randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is
P(X > 1200)
Z score corresponding to x=1200 is
z = 
z = 
z = 1.8695 ~ 1.87
P(Z > 1.87 ) = 1 - P(Z < 1.87)
Using z-score table to find probability z < 1.87
P(Z < 1.87) = 0.9693
P(Z > 1.87) = 1 - 0.9693
P(Z > 1.87) = 0.0307
The probability that a randomly selected score exceeds 1200 is 0.0307
