<h3>Answer: Approximately 23.0 cm</h3>

=====================================================

Work Shown:

a = 20.3

b = unknown

c = 30.7

Apply the pythagorean theorem to find b

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(20.3)^2 + b^2 = (30.7)^2

412.09 + b^2 = 942.49

b^2 = 942.49-412.09

b^2 = 530.4

b = sqrt(530.4)

b = 23.0304146727757 value is approximate

b = 23.0

I rounded to one decimal place because the other values (20.3 and 30.7) were to one decimal place.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

75.6 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one.

Given data

we are told that the original quantity of food is 63 ounces

and the increase is in food is by 20%

Step two:

let us find the increase in ounces

=20/100*63

=0.2*63

=12.6 ounces

Hence the amount of food in the bag now is

=12.6+63

=75.6 ounces

X+8y=18
-5x+3y=-4

Multiply the first equation by 5
Add the two equations together

5x+40y=90
-5x+3y=-4
43y=86
Y=2

Plug y into one equation to find x
X+16=18
X=2

The number of major earthquakes in a year is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 20.8 and a standard deviation of

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a) 51.60% probability that in a given year there will be less than 21 earthquakes.

b) 49.35% probability that in a given year there will be between 18 and 23 earthquakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 20.8, \sigma = 4.5$
