The miles-per-gallon obtained by the 1995 model q cars is normally distributed with a mean of 22 miles-per-gallon and a standard

deviation of 5 miles-per-gallon. what is the probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon? (4 decimal format = 0.0000)

Answer:

The probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon is 0.4207.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 22, \sigma = 5

What is the probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 21. So

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

Z = \frac{21 - 22}{5}

Z = -0.2

Z = -0.2 has a pvalue of 0.4207.

So the probability that a car will get less than 21 miles-per-gallon is 0.4207.

Q1  Solution:

x = 3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-2x-3 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -2 and their product -3. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -3 and 1. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²+x-3x-3  =  0

x(x+1)-3(x+1)  = 0

(x-3)(x+1) = 0

Finally we apply the zero Product Property :

If ab = 0 then a  = 0 or b  = 0

This implies;

x-3= 0 or x+1 = 0

x = 3 or x = -1 are the solutions to x²-2x-3 = 0

Q2  Solution:

x  = -1/2 or x  =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x²-5x-3  =0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -5 and their product 2(-3)=-6. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -6 and 1. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

2x²-6x+x-3  = 0

2x(x-3)+1(x-3) = 0

(2x+1)(x-3) = 0

2x+1 = 0 or x-3 =  0

2x = -1 or x =  3

x  = -1/2 or x  =  3 are the solutions of the given quadratic equation.

Q3 Soution:

x = 4 or x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-7x = -12

x²-7x+12 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -7 and their product 12. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -4 and -3. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²-4x-3x+12 = 0

x(x-4)-3(x-4)  = 0

(x-4)(x-3) = 0

x-4 = 0 or x-3 = 0

x = 4 or x = 3 are the solutions of the given quadratic equation.

Q4:

x = -2/3 or x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² = 16x+12

3x²-16x-12 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -16 and their product 3(-12)= -36. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -18 and 2. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

3x²-18x+2x-12 = 0

3x(x-6)+2(x-6) = 0

(3x+2)(x-6) = 0

3x+2 = 0 or x-6 =0

3x = -2 or x = 6

x = -2/3 or x = 6 are the solutions of the given quadratic equation.

Q5:

x = 6 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-2x-24 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -2 and their product -24. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -6 and 4. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²-6x+4x-24 = 0

x(x-6)+4(x-6) = 0

(x-6)(x+4) = 0

x-6 = 0 or x+4 = 0

x = 6 or x = -4 are the solutions to the given quadratic equation.

Q6:

x  = 4/3 or x  = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² = x+4

3x²-x-4 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -1 and their product -12. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -4 and 3. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

3x²-4x+3x-4 = 0

x(3x-4)+1(3x-4)  =0

(3x-4)(x+1) = 0

3x-4 =0 or x+1 =0

3x  = 4 or x = -1

x  = 4/3 or x  = -1 are the solutions to the given quadratic equation.

Here is the third problem:)
lesya [120]

Answer:

15.0

Step-by-step explanation:

we are finidng the adjacent angle, they have given us the opposite and the missing adjacent side so we use tan

tan25=7/x

since x is at the bottom then switch

x= 7/tan25

x= 15. 012
