9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 6 even integers is the odd integer halfway between the first three and the last three. That average value is 126/6 = 21, so the 4th integer is 21+1 = 22.

_____

All 6 are {16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26}.

If you know the measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle, how do you find out the measure of the base angles?

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are the same length. Let's say that our triangle has the 2 sides measuring the same and the base is a different length. The vertex angle is the top angle. By the definition of an isosceles triangle, since the 2 sides measure the same length, then the angles across from those sides have the same degree measure. If we know the measure of the vertex angle, then we have

180 = vertex angle - base angle - base angle

but since the base angles are the same and we have 2 of them, then

180 = vertex angle - 2 base angles

For example, if the vertex angle measures 80 degrees, then 180 - 80 = 100. That 100 has to be split in half for each of the base angles which are the same as each other. So the vertex angle is 80 and each base is 50.

The length of time that an auditor spends reviewing an invoice is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 600 seconds

Bumek [7]

Answer: 11.5%

Explanation:

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, we multiply 12 minutes by 60 so that 12 minutes = 720 seconds. Thus, we're looking for a probability that the auditor will spend more than 720 seconds.

Now, we get the z-score for 720 seconds by the following formula:

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

where

$t = \text{time for the auditor to finish his work } = 720 \text{ seconds}
\\ \mu = \text{average time for the auditor to finish his work } = 600 \text{ seconds}
\\ \sigma = \text{standard deviation } = 100 \text{ seconds}$

So, the z-score of 720 seconds is given by:

$\text{z-score} = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}
\\
\\ \text{z-score} = \frac{720 - 600}{100}
\\
\\ \boxed{\text{z-score} = 1.2}$

Let

t = time for the auditor to finish his work
z = z-score of time t

Since the time is normally distributed, the probability for t > 720 is the same as the probability for z > 1.2. In terms of equation:

$P(t \ \textgreater \ 720) 
\\ = P(z \ \textgreater \ 1.2)
\\ = 1 - P(z \leq 1.2)
\\ = 1 - 0.885
\\ \boxed{P(t \ \textgreater \ 720) = 0.115}$

Hence, there is 11.5% chance that the auditor will spend more than 12 minutes in an invoice.
