Answer:

3.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the standard normal probability distribution table, we obtain the Zscore which is 10% to left of the distribution.

The Zscore gives, - 1.282

To obtain the number of years, let this be x ;

Recall, the Zscore formula :

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

x = number of years

μ = 5.8

σ = 1.7

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

-1.282 = (x - 5.8) / 1.7

-1.282 * 1.7 = x - 5.8

-2.1794 = x - 5.8

-2.1794 + 5.8 = x

x = 3.6206

x = 3.6 years

Classify the following triangle ​
jek_recluse [69]

Acute-The angle is less than 90 degrees

Equilateral-All sides are equal in length

Isosceles-Two of the sides are equal in length

Scalene-None of the sides are equal in length

Right-The angle is 90 degrees

Obtuse-The angle is greater than 90 degrees

We can see that none of the sides are the same length, so we know that it must be scalene.  We can also see that every angle is less than 90 degrees, so we know that is must be acute.

The triangle is scalene and acute.

Hope this helps!!

A and B can fill a cistern in 4 hours. A and C can fill
kirill [66]

Answer:

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour

the first equation that we can write is

A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)

the second equation we can write is

A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)

the third equation that we can write is

B = 2C  (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)

now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations

A + 2C = 1/4

A + C = 1/5

A = 1/5 - C

1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4

C = 1/4 -1/5

C = (5-4)/20

C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)

A = 1/5 - 1/20

A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20

B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10

3. The Gobi is a very dry desert.
4. The hurricane hit in 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
