Answer :12 feet
Explanation :(x)^2=(11.5)^2+(3.5)^2
X^2=132.25+12.25
X^2=144.5 then square root it
X=12 feet

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra
Snezhnost [94]
Let X denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by X_1,\ldots,X_{36}, each independently and identically distributed with distribution X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2).

You want to find

\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)

Recall that if X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma), then the sampling distribution \overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right) with n being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}

so that in this case,

Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}

and the probability is equivalent to

\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)
=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693

Whats a example for a equivalent expression?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

1/2 = 4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent expression is when two fractions, decimals, or percents both match up because they are the same quantity as the other number.

The fractions above are an example of 1/2 and 4/8, which are equal to each others. The equation above is an example of an equivalent expression.

If a geometric sequence has a2 = 495 and a6 = 311, approximate the value of the common ratio ???? to four decimal
shtirl [24]

Answer:

r = 0.8903

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

a₂ = 495

a₆ = 311

geometric  sequence formula

                       a_n = ar^{n-1}

                       a_2 = ar^{2-1}

                       a_2 = ar...................(1)

                       a_6 = ar^{6-1}

                       a_6 = ar^5................(2)

dividing equation (2) by (1)

                     \dfrac{a_6}{a_2} = \dfrac{ar^5}{ar}

                     \dfrac{311}{495} = r^4

                     r^4 = 0.628

                     r = 0.8903

hence, the common ratio of the geometric sequence is r = 0.8903
