Confused a bit, can you make sure you copy and pasted it right?
Hey there!
I'm thinking B because it just makes the most sense reading it aloud. Quick tip though when there's a question like this just read the paragraph or sentences with all the possibilities in the blanks and you can kind of just tell which one it is by the way it sounds, you know?
Hope I helped, lemme know if I'm correct please! Have a spectacular day!
I don’t know because it wouldn’t pop up
The minimum distance will be along a perpendicular line to the river that passes through the point (7,5)
4x+3y=12
3y=-4x+12
y=-4x/3+12/3
So a line perpendicular to the bank will be:
y=3x/4+b, and we need it to pass through (7,5) so
5=3(7)/4+b
5=21/4+b
20/4-21/4=b
-1/4=b so the perpendicular line is:
y=3x/4-1/4
So now we want to know the point where this perpendicular line meets with the river bank. When it does y=y so we can say:
(3x-1)/4=(-4x+12)/3 cross multiply
3(3x-1)=4(-4x+12)
9x-3=-16x+48
25x=51
x=51/25
x=2.04
y=(3x-1)/4
y=(3*2.04-1)/4
y=1.28
So now that we know the point on the river that is closest to Avery we can calculate his distance from that point...
d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
d^2=(7-2.04)^2+(5-1.28)^2
d^2=38.44
d=√38.44
d=6.2 units
Since he can run at 10 uph...
t=d/v
t=6.2/10
t=0.62 hours (37 min 12 sec)
So it will take him 0.62 hours or 37 minutes and 12 seconds for him to reach the river.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to this problem is very much similar to your previous ones, already answered by Sqdancefan.
Given:
mean, mu = 3550 lbs (hope I read the first five correctly, and it's not a six)
standard deviation, sigma = 870 lbs
weights are normally distributed, and assume large samples.
Probability to be estimated between W1=2800 and W2=4500 lbs.
Solution:
We calculate Z-scores for each of the limits in order to estimate probabilities from tables.
For W1 (lower limit),
Z1=(W1-mu)/sigma = (2800 - 3550)/870 = -.862069
From tables, P(Z<Z1) = 0.194325
For W2 (upper limit):
Z2=(W2-mu)/sigma = (4500-3550)/879 = 1.091954
From tables, P(Z<Z2) = 0.862573
Therefore probability that weight is between W1 and W2 is
P( W1 < W < W2 )
= P(Z1 < Z < Z2)
= P(Z<Z2) - P(Z<Z1)
= 0.862573 - 0.194325
= 0.668248
= 0.67 (to the hundredth)
