27. The average hourly wage of workers at a fast food restaurant is $7.25/hr

Mathematics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago

Answer:

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the worker earns more than $8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The average hourly wage of workers at a fast food restaurant is $7.25/hr with a standard deviation of $0.50.

This means that \mu = 7.25, \sigma = 0.5

If a worker at this fast food restaurant is selected at random, what is the probability that the worker earns more than $8.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{8 - 7.25}{0.5}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the worker earns more than $8.00

How do you find the equation of a triangles altitude using point slope formula?
forsale [732]
<span><span><span>1. An altitude of a triangle is a line segment from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side. Find the equations of the altitudes of the triangle with vertices (4, 5),(-4, 1) and (2, -5). Do this by solving a system of two of two of the altitude equations and showing that the intersection point also belongs to the third line. </span>

<span>If we plot the points and connect them, we get this triangle: 

 

Let point 
A=(xA,yA)
B=(xB,yB)
C=(xC,yC) 



------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment AB 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through AB is  


------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment BC 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through BC is  




------------------------------- 
Let's find the equation of the segment CA 


Start with the general formula 

 


Plug in the given points 

 


Simplify and combine like terms 

 


So the equation of the line through CA is  




So we have these equations of the lines that make up the triangle 


 



So to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point C(2,-5), simply negate and invert the slope  to get 

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex C is  



Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point A(4,5), simply negate and invert the slope to get  

Now plug the slope and the point (2,-5) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex A is  




Now to find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to  that goes through the point B(-4,1), simply negate and invert the slope to get  

Now plug the slope and the point (-4,1) into  


 

 Solve for y and simplify 

So the altitude for vertex B is  



------------------------------------------------------------ 
Now let's solve the system 


 

 Plug in  into the first equation 

 Add 2x to both sides and subtract 2 from both sides 

 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x 


Now plug this into  

 

 



So the orthocenter is (-2/3,1/3) 

So if we plug in  into the third equation , we get 


 


 


 

 

So the orthocenter lies on the third altitude

You are standing 60 feet from the base of a 20-foot tall flagpole. What is 1
Rasek [7]

Answer: The angle of elevation is 18.4 degrees (Approximately)

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for more details.

The pole from top to  bottom is 20 feet tall and is depicted as line FB. An observer is standing at a distance of 20 feet from the base of the pole, and that is depicted as line BA. The observer who is at point A looks up to the top of the flagpole at an angle of elevation shown as angle A.

Using angle A as the reference angle, line FB which is 20 feet would be the opposite (facing the reference angle), while line BA which is 60 feet would be the adjacent (that lies between the right angle and the reference angle).

Therefore, to calculate angle A;

Tan A = Opposite/Adjacent

Tan A = 20/60

Tan A = 1/3

Tan A = 0.3333

Checking with your calculator or table of values,

A = 18.4349°

Rounded to the nearest tenth,

A ≈ 18.4°
