Given:
average height of a basketball player = 79 inches
μ = 70 inches
<span>σ = 3 inches
</span>
<span>standardize x to z = (x - μ) / σ </span>
<span>P(x > 79) = P( z > (79-70) / 3) </span>
<span>= P(z > 3) = 0.0013
0.0013 x 100% = 0.13%</span>


<span>0.13 % of the adult male population is taller than the average basketball player.</span>

Can somebody help me please

It's an isosceles triangle so angles A and BCA are congruent.  

Angle BCA is the supplement of BCD, so 180-109 = 71.

Angle A is congruent to that, so A=71 degrees.

Let's see if we can get that in the format they want, kind of as a proof.

1.  ∠BCD=109° Reason: Given

2. AB ≅ BC      Reason: Given

3. ∠BCA = 71°  Reason: Linear pairs are supplementary

4. ΔABC is isosceles.   Reason: Definition of isosceles

5. ∠A ≅ ∠BCA   Reason: Isoceles triangle theorem

6. ∠A = 71°         Reason: Def congruent

Answer: 71 degrees

A bag contains yellow marbles and blue marbles, 37 in total. The number of yellow marbles is 7 more than 5 times the number of b
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

let b represent the number of blue marbles then

yellow = 5b + 7 and

b + 5b + 7 = 37, that is

6b + 7 = 37 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

6b = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )

b = 5

Thus there are 5 blue and 5(5) + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32 yellow marbles

MATH: EXPONENTIAL WORK PROBLEM 1. HELP PLEASE! 13 pts

The amount of the radioactive substance is 374.6 g

<h3>How to determine the amount of radioactive substance?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Initial, a = 424 mg
  • Rate, r = 6%
  • Time, t = 2 hours

The amount of the radioactive substance is calculated as:

A(t) = a(1 - r)^t

This gives

A(t) = 424 * (1 - 6%)^t

At 2 hours, we have:

A(2) = 424 * (1 - 6%)^2

Evaluate

A(2) = 374.6

Hence, the amount of the radioactive substance is 374.6 g

-14(3a+6)=12(6-4a)+12 and steps please
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

In the given equation -14(3a+6)=12(6-4a)+12 the value of a is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is -14(3a+6)=12(6-4a)+12

To simplify the given equation:

-14(3a+6)=12(6-4a)+12

Taking all terms to one side

-14(3a+6)-12(6-4a)-12=0

-[14(3a+6)+12(6-4a)+12]=0

Now dividing by negative sign on the above equation we get

14(3a+6)+12(6-4a)+12=0 (using distributive property)

42a+84+72-48a+12=0 ( adding the like terms )

-6a+168=0

-6a=-168

6a=168

a=\frac{168}{6}

Therefore a=28

Therefore in the given equation -14(3a+6)=12(6-4a)+12 the value of a is 28
