Answer:
Probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the distribution of the number of viewers for the American Idol television show follows a normal distribution with a mean of 26 million with a standard deviation of 8 million.
<em>Let X = number of viewers for the American Idol television show</em>
So, X ~ N(
)
Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;
Z = 
~ N(0,1)
where, 
= population mean = 26 million
= standard deviation = 8 million
So, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is given by = P(30 < X < 37) = P(X < 37) - P(X 
30)
P(X < 37) = P( < 
) = P(Z < 1.38) = 0.91621
P(X 30) = P( 
) = P(Z 0.50) = 0.69146
<em>Therefore, P(30 < X < 37) = 0.91621 - 0.69146 = 0.2248</em>
Hence, probability that next week's show will have between 30 and 37 million viewers is 0.2248.
Compare two variables each time
You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
