This makes a right triangle with hypotenuse x+2 and legs 10 and x

10²+x²=(x+2)²

100 + x² = x²+4x+4

100=4x+4

4x=96

x=24, the height we are looking for

base: 10

height: x

diagonal: x + 2

base² + side² = diagonal²

  (10)² + (x)²  = (x + 2)²

    100 + x²  = x² + 4x + 4

          100  = 4x + 4

            96 = 4x

           24 = x

Answer: 24 ft

A vending machine automatically pours soft drinks into cups. The amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distribut
klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = amount in ounce of soft drink dispensed into cup.

µ = mean amount

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 7.6oz

σ = 0.4 oz

a) The probability that the machine will overflow an 8-ounce cup is expressed as

P(x > 8) = 1 - P(x ≤ 8)

For x = 8,

z = (8 - 7.6)/0.4 = 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.84

P(x ≤ 8) = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

b) P(x< 8) = 0.84

c) when the machine has just been loaded with 848 cups, the number of cups expected to overflow when served is

0.16 × 848 = 136 cups
