Answer:

78.383%

Step-by-step explanation:

The pH of randomly selected swimming pools follows a normal distribution with mean 7.4 and standard deviation 0.22. A pool should have a pH between 7.2 and 7.8 so that chlorine treatment is effective.

Using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

For x = 7.2

z = 7.2 - 7.4/0.22

z = -0.90909

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 7.2) = 0.18165

For x = 7.8

z = 7.8 - 7.4/0.22

z = 1.81818

Probability alue from Z-Table:

P(x = 7.8) = 0.96548

The probability of pools having an acceptable pH level(7.2 and 7.8)

= P(x = 7.8) - P(x = 7.2)

= 0.96548 - 0.18165

= 0.78383

Converting to percentage

0.78383 × 100

= 78.383%

The percentage of pools having an acceptable pH level is 78.383%

Answer:

$radius = \sqrt{13}$ or $radius = 3.61$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

A(-3,2) and B(-2,3)

Required

Determine the radius of the circle

First, we have to determine the center of the circle;

Since the circle has its center on the x axis; the coordinates of the center is;

$Center = (x,0)$

Next is to determine the value of x through the formula of radius;

$radius = \sqrt{(x_1 - x)^2 + (y_1 - y)^2} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x)^2 + (y_2 - y)^2}$

Considering the given points

$A(x_1,y_1) = A(-3,2)$

$B(x_2,y_2) = B(-2,3)$

$Center(x,y) =Center (x,0)$

Substitute values for $x,y,x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2$ in the above formula

We have:

$\sqrt{(-3 - x)^2 + (2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(-2 - x)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}$

Evaluate the brackets

$\sqrt{(-(3 + x))^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{(-(2 + x))^2 + 3 ^2}$

$\sqrt{(-(3 + x))^2 + 4} = \sqrt{(-(2 + x))^2 + 9}$

Eva;uate all squares

$\sqrt{(-(3 + x))(-(3 + x)) + 4} = \sqrt{(-(2 + x))(-(2 + x)) + 9}$

$\sqrt{(3 + x)(3 + x) + 4} = \sqrt{(2 + x)(2 + x) + 9}$

Take square of both sides

$(3 + x)(3 + x) + 4 = (2 + x)(2 + x) + 9$

Evaluate the brackets

$3(3 + x) +x(3 + x) + 4 = 2(2 + x) +x(2 + x) + 9$

$9 + 3x +3x + x^2 + 4 = 4 + 2x +2x + x^2 + 9$

$9 + 6x + x^2 + 4 = 4 + 4x + x^2 + 9$

Collect Like Terms

$6x -4x + x^2 -x^2 = 4 -4 + 9 - 9$

$2x = 0$

Divide both sides by 2

$x = 0$

This implies the the center of the circle is

$Center = (x,0)$

Substitute 0 for x

$Center = (0,0)$

Substitute 0 for x and y in any of the radius formula

$radius = \sqrt{(x_1 - 0)^2 + (y_1 - 0)^2}$

$radius = \sqrt{(x_1)^2 + (y_1)^2}$

Considering that we used x1 and y1;

In this case we have that; $A(x_1,y_1) = A(-3,2)$

Substitute -3 for x1 and 2 for y1

$radius = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (2)^2}$

$radius = \sqrt{13}$

$radius = 3.61$ ---<em>Approximated</em>

Sinah bought some packs of gum. There were 8 sticks of gum in each pack. She gave 12 sticks of gum to manuela. This left sinah w

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

8g = 12 + 28

g = 5 packs

Step-by-step explanation:

Share of the sticks of gum

Manuela = 12 sticks

Sinah = 28 sticks

There are 8 sticks in each pack

g = number of packs of gum that sinah bought?

g × 8 sticks = 12 sticks + 28 sticks

8g = 40

Divide both sides by 8

g = 40 / 8

g = 5 packs

How do you solve this and what is the answer?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABC = 1/2 ∠AOC

since we know ABC = 30° we can solve for AOC with a bit of Algebra

30 = 1/2 AOC

60 ° = AOC

:) does it make sense?

the formula about is for inscribed angles , that is an angle that touches the outside of the circle and then goes through the other side. :) Like ∠ABC
