Answer:

The proportion of children in this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs is of 0.9306.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

A study suggested that children between the ages of 6 and 11 in the US have an average weightof 74 lbs, with a standard deviation of 2.7 lbs.

This means that \mu = 74, \sigma = 2.7

What proportion of childrenin this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 85 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 70. So

X = 85

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

Z = \frac{85 - 74}{2.7}

Z = 4.07

Z = 4.07 has a pvalue of 1

X = 70

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

Z = \frac{70 - 74}{2.7}

Z = -1.48

Z = -1.48 has a pvalue of 0.0694

1 - 0.0694 = 0.9306

The proportion of children in this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs is of 0.9306.

You pick 4 digits (0-9) at random without replacement, and write them in the order picked. what is the probability that you have
Sophie [7]

The number of ways of choosing 4 digits from 10 digits without replacement ( order is important) is P(10,4)=\frac{10!}{(10-4)!} =\frac{10!}{(6)!} =7*8*9*10=5040. This is the number of all possible permutations of choosing 4 from 10. The first 4 numbers of your phone number is a unique 4 digit number(4 different digits). The required probability is

\frac{1}{5040}

We are given AB ∥ DE. Because the lines are parallel and segment CB crosses both lines, we can consider segment CB a transversal
ohaa [14]

Answer: AAA similarity.


Step-by-step explanation:  CB is the transversal for the parallel lines AB and DE, and so by transverse property, we have ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA. Similarly, CA acts as a tranversal for the same pair of parallel lines AB and DE and using the same property, we can have ∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB. Now, in triangles CED and ABC, we have

∠CED ≅ ∠CBA,

∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB

and

∠DCE ≅ ∠ACB [same angle]

Hence, by AAA (angle-angle-angle) similarity,

△CED ~ △ABC.

Thus, the correct option is AAA similarity.
