(5,12,13) is a right triangle and can be constructed.
All the others do not satisfy the triangle inequality, i.e. the sum of two short sides must exceed the long side in order for the triangle to be constructed.
Examples:
2+11<15, so no
3+7<11, so no
4+8<15, so no
but 5+12>13 so yes, it can be constructed.
Answer:
Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of Chris be represented by
, where
is the height in feet and
, the time in seconds. First, we equalize the formula to a height of 10 feet and simplify the resulting expression, that is:


Then, we simplify the expression by algebraic means:

Roots of the polynomial are, respectively:

First root represents the initial height of Chris, whereas the second one represents the instant when Christ returns to the same height above the surface of the water. Hence, Chris will take 0.75 seconds to return to his starting height of 10 feet.
Using the normal distribution, it is found that 0.0329 = 3.29% of the population are considered to be potential leaders.
In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean
and standard deviation
, the z-score of a measure X is given by:
- It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.
- After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.
In this problem:
- The mean is of 550, hence
.
- The standard deviation is of 125, hence
.
The proportion of the population considered to be potential leaders is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 780</u>, hence:



has a p-value of 0.9671.
1 - 0.9671 = 0.0329
0.0329 = 3.29% of the population are considered to be potential leaders.
