Transform <em>Y</em> to <em>Z</em>, which is distributed N(0, 1), using the formula

<em>Y</em> = <em>µ</em> + <em>σZ</em>

where <em>µ</em> = -16 and <em>σ</em> = 1.21.

Pr[-15.043 < <em>Y</em> ≤ <em>k</em>] = 0.1546

Pr[(-15.043 + 16)/1.21 < (<em>Y</em> + 16)/1.21 ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] = 0.1546

Pr[0.791 < <em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.1546

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] - Pr[<em>Z</em> < 0.791] = 0.1546

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] = 0.1546 + Pr[<em>Z</em> < 0.791]

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.1546 + 0.786

Pr[<em>Z</em> ≤ (<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21] ≈ 0.940

Take the inverse CDF of both sides (<em>Φ(x)</em> denotes the CDF itself):

(<em>k</em> + 16)/1.21 ≈ <em>Φ⁻¹</em> (0.940) ≈ 1.556

Solve for <em>k</em> :

<em>k</em> + 16 = 1.21 • 1.556

<em>k</em> ≈ -14.118

Which equation can you use to solve for x? x + 56 = 180 x + 146 = 180 180−x=146 x + 56 = 146 The figure contains a pair intersec
Harlamova29_29 [7]
The correct question is
<span>Which equation can you use to solve for x? x + 56 = 180 x + 146 = 180 180−x=146 x + 56 = 146 The figure contains a pair intersecting lines. One of the four angles formed by the intersecting lines is labeled 146 degrees. The angle opposite and not adjacent to this angle is broken into two smaller angles by a ray that extends from the point where the two lines intersect. One of these smaller angles is labeled 56 degrees, and the other smaller angle is labeled x degrees.

see the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
angle 146</span>° and angle (56°+x°) area equal -----> by vertical angles
so
146=56+x
therefore

the answer is
<span>x + 56 = 146</span>
