Answer:

Question

5) 0.81859

6) P(x<6.6) = 0.15866

7) 15.866 frogs would be longer than 8.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

5. A biologist is measuring the lengths of frogs in a certain location. The lengths

of the frogs have a mean of 7.4 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.8

centimeters. What is the probability that a randomly selected frog will measure

between 5.8 cm and 8.2 cm?

Using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

z1 = (x-μ)/σ

x is the raw score = 5.8cm

μ is the population mean = 7.4cm

σ is the population standard deviation. = 0.8cm

= 5.8 - 7.4/0.8

= -2

Using a z score table to find the probability of -2

P(z = -2) = 0.02275

z2 = (x-μ)/σ,

x is the raw score = 8.2cm

μ is the population mean = 7.4cm

σ is the population standard deviation. = 0.8cm

z = 8.2 - 7.4/0.8

z = 1

Using the Z-Table to find the probability

P(z = 1) = 0.84134

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected frog will measure between 5.8 cm and 8.2 cm is calculated as:

0.84134 - 0.02275 = 0.81859

6. Using the data from question #5, what is the probability that a randomly

selected frog will measure less than 6.6 cm?

Your answer

Using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = 6.6cm

μ is the population mean = 7.4cm

σ is the population standard deviation. = 0.8cm

z1 = (x-μ)/σ

= 6.6 - 7.4/0.8

= -1

Using the Z-Table to find the probability a randomly selected frog will measure less than 6.6 cm

P(x<6.6) = 0.15866

7. Using the data from #5, if 100 frogs are measured, how many of them would you predict to measure longer than 8.2 cm?

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x is the raw score = 8.2cm

μ is the population mean = 7.4cm

σ is the population standard deviation. = 0.8cm

z = 8.2 - 7.4/0.8

z = 1

Using the Z-Table to find the probability

P(x<8.2) = 0.84134

To find the probability of frogs that would be longer than 8.2cm

P(x>8.2) = 1 - P(x<8.2) = 0.15866

To calculate the number would be predicted to measure longer than 8.2 cm is :

0.15866 × 100 = 15.866% is longer than 8.2cm

Therefore,

15.866% × 100 frogs = 15.866 frogs.

I'm assuming you only need the first triangle. You didn't specify. If you need it after I answer the first one I'll be happy to help though.

To find the area of a triangle you go b(h)/2=a

6cm(3cm)/2
18/2
Area=9

To find the perimeter you add all of the sides together.

4+4+6=P
4+10=P
14= Perimeter

Standard form. (x+8)(x−6)
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x² + 2x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

( x + 8 ) ( x - 6 )

=  x ( x - 6 ) + 8 ( x - 6 )

= x*x - 6*x + 8*x + 8*( - 6 )

= x² - 6x + 8x  - 48

= x² + 2x - 48

Johnson’s Hardware randomly selects 125 of its customers and questions them to determine their overall customer satisfaction rat
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

a. 92%

b. 4425

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 5000 customers in total, and 100 were completely satisfied, and 15 were satisfied and 10 weren't satisfied a bit. so 100+15 is 115 so 115 people in total were satisfied out of 125 because there were 125, and 115+10 is 125 anyways. So 115/125 is .92, and you can convert that into a percentage, 92% of the 250 customers were satisfied so then 250*5 is 5000, so then just multiply 115 by 5 as well. You get 575. So 575 were satisfied out of the 5000 customers and 5000-575 are the people not satisfied, so 4425.

probably wrong because it doesnt sound right but just try it
