Answer:

0.7780

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Population:

We have that \mu = 7.19, \sigma = 0.86

Sample of 12:

n = 12, s = \frac{0.86}{\sqrt{12}} = 0.2483

What is the probability that the mean cost will be more than $7.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 7. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{7 - 7.19}{0.2483}

Z = -0.765

Z = -0.765 has a pvalue of 0.222

1 - 0.222 = 0.778

So the answer is 0.7780

Arielle is building the wooden framework for the roof of a house. she needs the angle created by the vertical and horizontal boa
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Option A is correct

it is an acute triangle. about 0.8 foot needs to be removed from the 20-foot board to create a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

She want to build a right angle frame

Then to proof it is right angle, we will apply Pythagoras theorem to the sides of the rectangle,

Since the vertical height of board is 12ft

And, the horizontal length of board is 15ft.

Then the beam that support the two beams which also form the hypotenuse is give as

(beam support)²=(horizontal board)²+(vertical board)²

x²=12²+15²

x²=144+225

x²=369

x=√369

x=19.2ft

Then the beam support is 19.2ft

To get the angle of the beam support to the horizontal

Applying trigonometric

Tanθ=opposite / adjacent

Tanθ= vertical / horizontal

Tanθ=12/15

Tanθ=0.8

θ=arctan(0.8)

θ=36.7°

This shows that it is an acute triangle.

We are told that the support beam is 20ft but this is not true because the support beam is calculated to be 19.2ft,

So, 0.8ft must be removed from the 20ft support beam to create the right angle.

Then, the best option is a

we need to cut the support beam by approx 0.8 feet to make right angle between vertical board and horizontal board.

SOVing Problems With Right Triangles: Mastery Test
Serhud [2]

Answer:

13.86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be represented by a right angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 16 feet and an angle of 60° between the hypotenuse side and the adjacent side.

The height of the pole is the side opposite to the angle 60°.

The trigonometric function states that for a right angled triangle:

sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse, cosθ = adjacent / hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/ adjacent

To find the height of the flagpole, we use:

sin(60) = height / 16

height = 16 * sin(60)

height = 13.86 ft

The person with the incorrect reasoning for the height of the flagpole is  Charlie when he should have utilized the  sin function. Because he incorrectly selected the  function.
