Mathematics

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider trapezoid ABCD with bases AB and DC. In these trapezoid triangles AOB and COD are similar, because thet have three pairs of congruent angles (angles AOB and COD are congruent as vertical angles, angles OAB and OCD are congruent as corresponding angles and angles OBA and ODC are congruent as corresponding angles too). Then

\dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{BO}{OD}=\dfrac{AB}{CD}.

If \dfrac{AO}{AC}=\dfrac{3}{4} and AC=AO+OC, then

\dfrac{AO}{AC}=\dfrac{AO}{AO+OC}=\dfrac{3}{4}\Rightarrow 4AO=3(AO+OC),\\ \\4AO=3AO+3OC,\\ \\AO=3OC\Rightarrow \dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{3}{1}.

Since BO=6 cm, then

\dfrac{AO}{OC}=\dfrac{BO}{OD}\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{1}=\dfrac{6}{OD},\\ \\OD=2\ cm.

Thus, the length of the diagonal BD is 2+6=8 cm.

The average score of all golfers for a particular course has a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 4. Suppose 64 golfers play
Vilka [71]

Answer:

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 75, \sigma = 4, n = 64, s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.5

Find the probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 64.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{76 - 75}{0.5}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

0.0228 = 2.28% probability that the average score of the 64 golfers exceeded 76.

A class of 63 students is going on a field trip. They will take 9 buses. Each bus will have the same number of students. How man
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

There will be 7 students on each bus.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the class of 63 students is divided into 9 buses with the same number of students traveling in each one, to determine the number of students traveling in each bus it is necessary to perform the following mathematical calculation:

63/9 = X

7 = X

Thus, in each bus 7 students will travel, and in this way all buses will carry the same number of students.
