Answer:

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 12.

Assuming we can precisely adjust σ, what should we set σtobe so that the actual amount dispensed is between 11 and 13 ounces, 95% of the time?

13 should be 2 standard deviations above the mean of 12, and 11 should be two standard deviations below the mean.

So 1 should be worth two standard deviations. Then

2\sigma = 1

\sigma = \frac{1}{2}

\sigma = 0.5

σ should be adjusted at 0.5.

Triangle TRS is similar to triangle TMN. Angle T = 40°, angle R = 60°, and angle S = 80° . What is the measure of angle M
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar triangles, the angles of their angles are equal to matter the size.

Hence if triangle TRS is similar to triangle TMN, then;

<R = <M and <S = <N

Given that;

<T = 40 degrees

<R = 60degrees

<S = 80 degrees

Since <R = <M, then <M = 60degrees

Answer: the height of the kite is 106.065 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the kite represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the kite represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine x, the height of the kite, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Therefore,

Sin 45 = x/150

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 150Sin45 = 150 × 0.7071

x = 106.065 ft
