Answer:

65.1 and 69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

c=95

b=a+4

Solve for a^2+(a+4)^2=95^2

a=65.1

b=a+4=69.1

Answer:

65.1 and 69.1

Step-by-step explanation:

c² = a² + b²

c= 95

a - one leg

b= (a + 4) - second leg

95² = a² + (a + 4)²

9025 = a² + a² + 2*4a + 16

2a² + 8a - 9009 = 0

a= \frac{-b +/-\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\a = \frac{-8 +/-\sqrt{8^2 - 4*2*9009} }{2*2} \\\\a=65.1 \ and \ a=- 69.1

A leg length can be only positive. a = 65.1

b = 65.1 + 4 = 69.1

The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 10 minute oil change facility is unknown. However,
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For a normal model the sample size has to be equal or greater than 30 so that it can be a normal distribution.

b) Given that:

μ = 11.2 minutes, σ = 4.8 minutes, n = 45

The z score determines how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\For\ a\ sample\ size(n)\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }

For x < 10 minutes

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }\\\\ z=\frac{10-11.2}{4.8/\sqrt{45} }= -1.68

Therefore from the normal distribution table, P(x < 10) = P(z < -1.68) =  0.0465

Write the equation of a line passing through (6,-2) and perpendicular to -2x + 3y= -6
____ [38]
Perpendicular lines refers to a pair of straight lines that intercept each other. The slopes of this lines are opposite reciprocal, meaning that it's multiplication is -1.
On this case they give you the equation of a line and a point, and is asked to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given one, and that passes through this point.


-2x+3y=-6                 Add 2x in both sides
3y=2x-6                    Divide by 3 in both sides to isolate y
y=2/3x-6/3


The slope of the given line is 2/3, which means that the slope of a line perpendicular to this one, needs to be -3/2. Now you need to find the value of b or the y-intercept by substituting the given point into the formula y=mx+b, where letter m represents the slope.

y=mx+b                 Substitute the given point and the previous slope found
-2=(-3/2)(6)+b       Combine like terms
-2=-9+b                 Add 9 in both sides to isolate b
7=b

The equation that represents the line perpendicular to -2x+3y=-6 and that passes through the point (6,-2), is y=-3/2x+7.
