Answer:

  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lengths is ...

  shortest : longest = (2/3) : 1 = 2 : 3

Then the ratio of the shortest to the total is ...

  shortest : (shortest +longest) = 2 : (2 +3) = 2/5

The shortest piece length is ...

  (2/5)×(35 ft) = 14 ft

The shorter piece of the board is 14 ft long.

Suppose a normal distribution has a mean of 222 and a standard deviation of 16. What is the probability that a data value is bet
valentina_108 [34]
Mean of the distribution = u = 222
Standard Deviation = s = 16

We have to find the probability that a value lies between 190 and 230.

First we need to convert these data values to z score.

z= \frac{x-u}{s}

For x = 190, 
z= \frac{190-222}{16}=-2

For x = 230
z= \frac{230-222}{16}=0.5

So, we have to find the percentage of values lying between z score of -2 and 0.5

P( -2 < z < 0.5) = P(0.5) - P(-2)

From standard z table, we can find and use these values.

P(-2 < x < 0.5 ) = 0.6915 - 0.0228 = 0.6687

Thus, there is 0.6887 probability that the data value will lie between 190 and 230 for the given distribution.

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of the line that passes through points (-7, 8) and (2, -2).
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y = -1x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I plotted the points (-7, 8) and (2, -2). Then, I drew a line connecting the two points. At the point (-7, 8), I went down 2 squares and to the right 2. This would give me a slope of -1. Since the line touches the y-axis at 0.5, this is the y-intercept.

I am not sure about the y-intercept of this equation. If I got this wrong, I am sorry and please let me know. Thank you!

Find the missing length of the triangle. <br> 20 km <br> 21 km <br> WHAT IS “C” PLEASE HELP
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

C=29

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

21^2 + 20^2 = c^2

441 + 400 = c^2

841 = c^2

\sqrt(841) = \squrt(c^2)

29 = c
