Please help me with this. I’m having trouble.

Crank

Answer:

$a=\sqrt{609}\\\\a\approx 24.67793$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the leg of the missing right triangle, one must use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states the following,

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Where (a) and (b) are the sides adjacent to or next to the right angle. (c) is the side opposite the right angle. Substitute in the given values and solve for the unknown,

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\$

Substitute,

$a^2+40^2=47^2\\$

Simplify,

$a^2+1600=2209\\$

Inverse operations,

$a^2=609$

$a=\sqrt{609}\\\\a\approx 24.67793$

It appears that people who are mildly obese are less active than leaner people. One study looked at the average number of minute

NemiM [27]

Answer:

a) 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

b) 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

Mildly obese

Normally distributed with mean 373 minutes and standard deviation 67 minutes. So $\mu = 373, \sigma = 67$

A) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes?

So $n = 5, s = \frac{67}{\sqrt{5}} = 29.96$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

$Z = \frac{410 - 373}{29.96}$

$Z = 1.23$

$Z = 1.23$ has a pvalue of 0.8907.

So there is a 1-0.8907 = 0.1093 = 10.93% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 mildly obese people exceeds 420 minutes.

Lean

Normally distributed with mean 526 minutes and standard deviation 107 minutes. So $\mu = 526, \sigma = 107$

B) What is the probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes?

So $n = 5, s = \frac{107}{\sqrt{5}} = 47.86$

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.

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

$Z = \frac{410 - 526}{47.86}$

$Z = -2.42$

$Z = -2.42$ has a pvalue of 0.0078.

So there is a 1-0.0078 = 0.9922 = 99.22% probability that the mean number of minutes of daily activity of the 5 lean people exceeds 420 minutes.

The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slang height?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

If $r >> h$ , the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone (A) is given by this formula:

$A = \pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi\cdot s$

Where:

$r$ - Base radius of the cone, measured in inches.

$s$ - Slant height, measured in inches.

In addition, the slant height is calculated by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

$s = \sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}$

Where $h$ is the altitude of the cone, measured in inches. If $r >> h$ , then:

$s \approx r$

And:

$A = \pi\cdot r^{2} +2\pi\cdot r$

Given that $A = 1885.7143\,in^{2}$ , the following second-order polynomial is obtained:

$\pi \cdot r^{2} + 2\pi \cdot r -1885.7143\,in^{2} = 0$

Roots can be found by the Quadratic Formula:

$r_{1,2} = \frac{-2\pi \pm \sqrt{4\pi^{2}-4\pi\cdot (-1885.7143)}}{2\pi}$

$r_{1,2} \approx -1\,in \pm 24.521\,in$

$r_{1} \approx 23.521\,in \,\wedge\,r_{2}\approx -25.521\,in$

As radius is a positive unit, the first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.
