Answer:

a. The percentage of vehicles who pass through this construction zone who are exceeding the posted speed limit =90.82%

b. Percentage of vehicles travel through this construction zone with speeds between 50 mph and 55 mph= 2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find

a) P(X>40)= 1- P(x=40)

Using the z statistic

Here

x= 40 mph

u= 44mph

σ= 3 mph

z=(40-44)/3=-1.33

From the  z-table   -1.67 = 0.9082

a) P(X>40)=

Probability exceeding the speed limit = 0.9082 = 90.82%

b) P(50<X<55)

Now

z1 = (50-44)/3 = 2

z2 = (55-44)/3= 3.67

Area for z>3.59 is almost equal to 1

From the z- table we get

P(55 < X < 60) = P((50-44)/3 < z < (55-44)/3)

     = P(2 < z < 3.67)

     = P(z<3.67) - P(z<2)

     = 1 - 0.9772

     = 0.0228

or 2.28%

Nesterboy [21]
Total area of the rectangular land = 2^15 sq. miles
                                                     = 32768 sq. miles

total area of the pieces being sold = 8^3 sq. miles
                                                       = 512 sq. miles

now total no. of pieces = total area of the land / the area of samaller land that's                                                                                     being sold
                                     = 32768 / 512
                                     = 64

so the actual number of pieces is 64

URGENT ANSWER NOW In △ABC, A=59∘, a=20, and c=21. What are the two possible values for angle C to the nearest tenth of a degree?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The two possible values of C are 64.2° and 115.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

* In ΔABC

- a, b, c are the lengths of its 3 sides, where

# a is opposite to angle A

# b is opposite to angle B

# c is opposite to angle C

- m∠A = 59°

- a = 20

- c = 21

* To find the distance m∠C we can use the sin Rule

- In any triangle the ratio between the length of each side

 to the measure of each opposite angle are equal

- c/sinC = a/sinA = b/sinB

* Lets use it to find the m∠C

∵ 21/sinC = 20/sin(59)

∴ sin(C) = 21 × sin(59) ÷ 20 = 0.9000256657

∴ m∠C = sin^-1(0.9000256657)  = 64.16144°

∴ m∠C = 64.2°

∵ The value of sin(C) is positive

∴ Angle C may be in the first quadrant (acute angle)

  or in the second quadrant (obtuse angle)

∴ The other measure of ∠C = 180 - 64.2 = 115.8

* The two possible values of C are 64.2° and 115.8°
