Answer:

P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)

=P(Z

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact way to solve this problem is using the binomial distribution, assuming that our random variable of interest is "number of students living in apartments" represented by X and X \sim Bin(n=600, p =0.4)

And we want this probability:

P(200 \leq X \leq 400) [tex]In order to find this probability we can use the foloowing excel code:"=BINOM.DIST(400,600,0.4,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(199,600,0.4,TRUE)"And we got:[tex] P(200 \leq X \leq 400) =0.999675[tex]But for this case the problem says that we need to approximate, so then we can use the normal approximation to the normal distribution. We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
[tex]np=600*0.4=240\geq 10

n(1-p)=600*(1-0.4)=360 \geq 10

So we see that we satisfy the conditions and then we can apply the approximation.

If we appply the approximation the new mean and standard deviation are:

E(X)=np=600*0.4=240

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{600*0.4(1-0.4)}=12

And then X \sim N (\mu = 240, \sigma= 12)

And we are interested on the following probability:

P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)

=P(Z

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

From the parking lot at red hill shopping center the angle of the top of the hill is about 25 from the base of the hill the angl
eimsori [14]

Answer:

512 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the parking lot at the Red Hill Shopping Center, the angle of sight (elevation) to the top of the hill is about 25. From the base of the hill you can also sight the top but at an angle of 55. The horizontal distance between sightings is 740 feet. How high is Red Hill? Show your subproblems.

Solution:

Let x be the distance from the base of the hill to the middle of the hill perpendicular to the height, let h be the height of the hill. Therefore:

tan 25 = h/(x + 740)

h = (x + 740)tan 25       (1)

tan 55 = h / x

h = x tan 55        (2)

Hence:

(x + 740)tan 25 = xtan 55

0.4663(x + 740) = 1.428x

0.4663x + 345.07 = 1.428x

0.9617x = 345.07

x = 359 ft.

h = xtan55 = 359 tan(55) = 512 ft.

The perimeter of a triangle is 28 feet. One side of the triangle is 5 feet longer than the second side. The third side is 8 feet
Hitman42 [59]

side one is 5 side two is 10 and the third side is 13. 28 is not divisible by three so if one side i 5 ft longer and another side is 8 ft longer then you add them 5+8=13 then subtract 13 from the perimeter 28-13=15 then divide 15 by 3 and get 5 5 5. add 5 (5+5) (5+8).
