Suppose that the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways are normally distributed with a mean of miles/hour. The highwa

y patrol's policy is to issue tickets for cars with speeds exceeding miles/hour. The records show that exactly of the speeds exceed this limit. Find the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least one decimal place.

Answer:

the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways is 6.0 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation of the speeds of cars is shown below;

The z score for the top 1% is 2.326

So,

= (75 - 61) ÷ standard deviation = 2.326

Standard deviation is

= 14 ÷ 2.326

= 6.0 miles per hour

Hence, the standard deviation of the speeds of cars travelling on California freeways is 6.0 miles per hour

There are many cylinders with a height of 9 inches. Let r represent the radius in
mylen [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

V, r, h are the volume, radius, and height, respectively.

V = πr²h = 9πr²

The only error in your previous answers was that you forgot the π.

if r = 1, V = 9π1² = 9π ≅ 28 in³

if r = 2, V = 9π2² = 36π ≅ 113 in³

if r = 3, V = 9π3² = 81π ≅ 254 in³

What are the ratios for sin A and cos A? The triangle is not drawn to scale.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

SinA = \frac{84}{85}  and  CosA=\frac{13}{85}

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of sine and cos are defined as follows:

Sin A = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} , and

CosA = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}

The hypotenuse is always the side opposite of the 90 degree angle (for the given triangle, the hypotenuse is 85)

Since we are looking at the angle A, the opposite side with respect to A would be the side length of 84. That leaves the side 13 as the adjacent side.

Thus, we can now write:

Sin A = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}\\SinA = \frac{84}{85}

CosA = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}\\CosA=\frac{13}{85}

The correct answer is  the first answer choice.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The value of x that makes the equation true is 3

x=3

Explanation:

From the attached image;

Let us write the mathematical equation of the model.

The long bar means x, while the small squares have a value of 1 each.

2x+5=11

solving the equation we have;

\begin{gathered} 2x+5=11 \\ 2x=11-5 \\ 2x=6 \\ \text{divide both sides by 2;} \\ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x that makes the equation true is 3

x=3
