Answer:

20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have similar triangles here.

BC║DE, AB║AD and AC║AE ⇒ ΔADE ~ ΔABC

The ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is same:

BC/DE = AC/AE
BC / 2 = 30/3
BC / 2 = 10
BC = 2*10
BC = 20 m

Take the similar triangles,

→ ∆ADE ≈ ∆ABC

Now we can find,

The height of the tree in meters,

→ BC/DE = AC/AE

In this equation BC is the height of tree,

→ BC/2 = 30/3

→ BC/2 = 10

→ BC = 10 × 2

→ BC = 20

Hence, the height of the tree is 20 m.

Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a rand

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Question 1:

(a) P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

(a) P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = 0.927

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

x = no. of mg of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

μ = 40

σ = 14

(a) We need to compute P(x<60). We need to find the z-score using the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

P(x<60) = P((x - μ)/σ < (60 - 40)/14)

= P(z < 20/14)

= P(z<1.43)

Using the normal distribution probability table we can find the value of p at z=1.43.

P(z<1.43) = 0.9236

so, P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = P(z>(16-40)/14)

= P(z>-1.71)

= 1 - P(z<-1.71)

= 1 - 0.0436

P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = P((16-40)/14) < x < (60-40)/14)

= P(-1.71 < z < 1.43)

This probability can be calculated as: P(z<1.43) - P(z<-1.71)

P(16<x<60) = 0.9236 - 0.0436

P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P(x>60) = 1 - P(x<60)

we have calculated P(x<60) in part (a) so,

P(x>60) = 1 - 0.9236

P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

μ = 4.5 mm

σ = 1.0 mm

In this question, we will again compute the z-scores and then find the probability from the normal distribution table.

(a) P(x<3) = P(z<(3-4.5)/1)

= P(z<-1.5)

P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 1 - P(x<7)

= 1 - P(z<(7-4.5)/1)

= 1 - P(z<2.5)

= 1 - 0.9938

P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = P(x<7) - P(x<3)

we have computed both of these probabilities in parts (a) and (b) so,

P(3<x<7) = 0.9938 - 0.0668

P(3<x<7) = 0.927

A population of fish in a lake is 14000 in 2010. The population decreases 6% annually. What is the population in 2019

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

8022.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of years after 2010.

We have been given a population of fish in a lake is 14000 in 2010. The population decreases 6% annually.

We can see that population of fish is the lake is decreasing exponentially as it is decreasing 6% annually.

Since we know that an exponential function is in form: $y=a*b^x$ , where,

a = Initial value,

b = For decrease or decay b is in form (1-r) where r represents decay rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given decay rate in decimal form.

$6\5=\frac{6}{100}=0.06$

Upon substituting our given values in exponential form of function we will get the population of fish in the lake after x years as:

$y=14,000*(1-0.06)^x$

$y=14,000*(0.94)^x$

Let us find x by subtracting 2010 from 2019.

$x=2019-2010=9$

Upon substituting x=9 in our function we will get,

$y=14,000*(0.94)^9$

$y=14,000*0.5729948022286167$

$y=8021.927\approx 8022$

Therefore, the population of fish in 2019 will be 8022.
