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>

The gable end of the roof shown is divided in half by a vertical brace. Find the distance h (in ft) from an eave to the peak. 41
nlexa [21]

Answer:

h = 9 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the diagram is like the one below.

∆ABD is a right triangle.

We can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find the height h.

\begin{array}{rcl}h^{2} + 40^{2} & = & 41^{2}\\h^{2} + 1600 & = & 1681\\h^{2} & = & 1681 - 1600\\& = &81\\h& = & \sqrt{81}\\&=& \mathbf{9}\end{array}\\\text{The height of the gable is $\large \boxed{\textbf{9 ft}}$}

Lou has an account with $10,000 which pays 6% interest compounded annually. If to that account, Lou deposits $5,000 at the begin
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Option d. $22154 is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will use the formula A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

In this formula A = amount after time t

                        P = principal amount

                        r = rate of interest

                       n = number of times interest gets compounded in a year

                        t = time

Now Lou has principal amount on the starting of first year = 10000+5000 = $15000

So for one year A=15000(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}

= 15000(1+.06)^{1}

= 15000(1.06) = $15900

After one year Lou added $5000 in this amount and we have to calculate the final amount he got

Now principal amount becomes $15900 + $ 5000 = $20900

Then putting the values again in the formula

A=20900(1+\frac{\frac{6}{100}}{1})^{1\times1}

= 20900(1+.06)^{1}

= 20900(1.06)=22154

So the final amount will be $22154.

True or false? The circumcenter of a triangle is the center of the only circle that can be circumscribed about it
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement we have to tell the statement is true or false.

The statement is

"The circumcenter of a triangle is the center of the only circle that can be circumscribed about it"

The circumcenter of triangle is the point in the triangle where the perpendicular bisectors of sides intersect.

The center of the circumscribed circle is the the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet.

Hence,

The circumcenter is also center of the triangle's circumcircle - the circle that pass through all three of the triangle's vertices.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
