Answer:

8 meters or 4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for finding the area of a rhombus, there are two diagonal sides: one of which is 12.5 meters in length and the other one we'll assume to be y.

Then, we can write:

Area of rhombus = $\frac{1}{2} *12.5*y$

$50=\frac{1}{2} *12.5*y$

$y=\frac{100}{12.5}$

$y=8$ meters

If the sides of the rhombus are not internally diagonal, then we can simply use the following formula:

Area of rhombus = altitude * side

$50=a*12.5$

$a=4$ meters

What is the sum of the counting numbers 1 - 40

AVprozaik [17]

Simply it as follows:

1 + 39 = 40
2 + 38 = 40 etc

18 + 22 = 40
19 + 21 = 40

There are 19 of these plus 40 itself . . .therefore 20 of them

20 x 40 = 800

And finally the last number not used, 20

Therefore 800 + 20 = 820

Helga [31]

Hip Breadths and Aircraft Seats
Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 98% of all males. (Accommodating 100% of males would be too expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviation of 1.0 in. Find P 98. That is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 98% from the largest 2%.

Suppose that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000. If we select a random

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000.

We select a random sample of 1,000 people.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean = $50,000

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = $25,000

n = sample of people = 1,000

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is given by = P( $\bar X$ > $52,000)

P( $\bar X$ > $52,000) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ > $\frac{52,000-50,000}{\frac{25,000}{\sqrt{1,000} } }$ ) = P(Z > 2.53) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 2.53)

= 1 - 0.9943 = 0.0057

Now, in the z table the P(Z $\leq$ x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.53 in the z table which has an area of 0.9943.

Therefore, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.
