Answer probability of one girl is 1 in 2 or 1/2 so multiply probability 5 times.

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/32

Two angles in a triangle have measures of 25° and 55°.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

B) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

All 3 interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 so:

x + 25 + 55 = 180

x + 80 = 180

x = 180 - 80

x = 100

What is the circumference of the following circle?<br> units<br> R=1

lesantik [10]

Answer:

6.28 or 157/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you find the formula for the circumference of a circle which is C= PI ( diameter)

So since the radius is 1 you multiply it by 2 and get 2 so then you multiply 2 by 3.14 (pi) and get 6.28

I hope this helped!!!

A certain brand of automobile tire has a mean life span of 35,000 miles, with a standard deviation of 2250 miles. Assume the lif

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

mean life span of a brand of automobile = 35,000

standard deviation of a brand of automobile = 2250 miles.

the z-score that corresponds to each life span are as follows.

the standard z- score formula is:

$z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$

For x = 34000

$z = \dfrac{34000 - 35000}{2250}$

$z = \dfrac{-1000}{2250}$

z = −0.4444

For x = 37000

$z = \dfrac{37000 - 35000}{2250}$

$z = \dfrac{2000}{2250}$

z = 0.8889

For x = 3000

$z = \dfrac{30000 - 35000}{2250}$

$z = \dfrac{-5000}{2250}$

z = -2.222

From the above z- score that corresponds to their life span; it is glaring that the tire with the life span 30,000 miles has an unusually short life span.

For x = 30,500

$z = \dfrac{30500 - 35000}{2250}$

$z = \dfrac{-4500}{2250}$

z = -2

P(z) = P(-2)

Using excel function (=NORMDIST -2)

P(z) = 0.022750132

P(z) = 2.28th percentile

For x = 37250

$z = \dfrac{37250 - 35000}{2250}$

$z = \dfrac{2250}{2250}$

z = 1

Using excel function (=NORMDIST 1)

P(z) = 0.841344746

P(z) = 84.14th percentile

For x = 35000

$z = \dfrac{35000- 35000}{2250}$

$z = \dfrac{0}{2250}$

z = 0

Using excel function (=NORMDIST 0)

P(z) = 0.5

P(z) = 50th percentile
