Given:

Total forest area = 43,000

Old growth trees forest = 0.2%

To find:

The area of the old growth trees.

Solution:

We have,

Total forest area = 43,000

Old growth trees forest = 0.2%

Area of the old growth trees = 0.2% of 43,000

                                               = \dfrac{0.2}{100}\times 43000

                                               = 86

Therefore, the area of the old growth trees is 86 acres.

Homer wants to identify the center and radius of the circle defined by the equation x2 + y2 - 14x +
Klio2033 [76]

Homer has made mistake in step 2

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides of equation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation of circle:</u></em>

x^2 + y^2 -14x + 2y -25 = 0

Let us first calculate center and radius and find out where he did the mistake

<em><u>Step 1:</u></em>

Group the terms

x^2 -14x + y^2 + 2y = 25\\\\(x^2 -14x) + (y^2 + 2y) = 25

<em><u>Step 2:</u></em>

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 25 + 49 + 1

But homers step 2 is:

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 25

So homer has made mistake in this step

When you complete the square, you need to add the values to both sides of equation

But homer did not add 49 and 1 to right side of equation

Correct steps are:

(x^2 -14x + 49) + (y^2 + 2y + 1) = 75\\\\(x-7)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 75

Comparing general equation of circle,

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Therefore, center is ( 7, -1) and radius is 8.66

Shelia's measured glucose level one hour after a sugary drink varies according to the normal distribution with μ = 117 mg/dl and
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L is L = 127.1 mg/dl.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, 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 random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 117, \sigma = 10.6, n = 6, s = \frac{10.6}{\sqrt{6}} = 4.33

What is the level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L ?

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.01 = 0.99. So X when Z = 2.33.

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

2.33 = \frac{X - 117}{4.33}

X - 117 = 2.33*4.33

X = 127.1

The level L such that there is probability only 0.01 that the mean glucose level of 6 test results falls above L is L = 127.1 mg/dl.

Solve for x: 2x/5=12/8
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = 3\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to leave 2x by itself on the left side of the equation:

2x = 60/8

Then divide,

x = 15/4

Simplified fraction: x = 3\frac{3}{4}
