Answer:

7.193 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

| \

h | \ 10 ft

| \

| 46° \

---------------------

For the 46° angle, h is the opposite leg. The hypotenuse is 10 ft. The sine is the trig ratio that relates the opposite leg to the hypotenuse.

sin A = opp/hyp

sin 46° = h/10

h = 10 sin 46°

h = 7.193

Answer: 7.193 ft

Answer:

The answer is x=5 and x=−5

x² - 25 = 0

(x-5)(x+5)=0

x²-5x+5x-25=0

x-5=0 x+5=0

Answer:

a) $P(140$

$P(0.036$

b) $P(140< \bar X$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(139,28.1)$

Where $\mu=139$ and $\sigma=28.1$

We are interested on this probability

$P(140$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(140$

And we can find this probability like this:

$P(0.036$

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

$P(0.036$

Part b

For this case we select a sample size of n =32. Since the distribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:
