Well if they give us tan so that means the triangle is

b=15, a=8... So now we need C
So use the pythagorean theorem
8^2 + 15^2 = c^2
c=17

So now sin is OPP/HYP so
sin (a) = 15/17 = .88

ASA because when you look at the corners it marks the angles and then a line for the side in between it. That’s how I always looked at it

Test scores of the student in a school are normally distributed mean 85 standard deviation 3 points. What's the probability that

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The probability that a random selected student score is greater than 76 is $\\ P(x>76) = 0.99865$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The Normally distributed data are described by the normal distribution. This distribution is determined by two parameters, the population mean $\\ \mu$ and the population standard deviation $\\ \sigma$ .

To determine probabilities for the normal distribution, we can use the standard normal distribution, whose parameters' values are $\\ \mu = 0$ and $\\ \sigma = 1$ . However, we need to "transform" the raw score, in this case x = 76, to a z-score. To achieve this we use the next formula:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ [1]

And for the latter, we have all the required information to obtain z. With this, we obtain a value that represent the distance from the population mean in standard deviations units.

<h3>The probability that a randomly selected student score is greater than 76</h3>

To obtain this probability, we can proceed as follows:

First: obtain the z-score for the raw score x = 76.

We know that:

$\\ \mu = 85$

$\\ \sigma = 3$

$\\ x = 76$

From equation [1], we have:

$\\ z = \frac{76 - 85}{3}$

Then

$\\ z = \frac{-9}{3}$

$\\ z = -3$

Second: Interpretation of the previous result.

In this case, the value is three (3) standard deviations below the population mean. In other words, the standard value for x = 76 is z = -3. So, we need to find P(x>76) or P(x>-3).

With this value of $\\ z = -3$ , we can obtain this probability consulting the cumulative standard normal distribution, available in any Statistics book or on the internet.

Third: Determination of the probability P(x>76) or P(x>-3).

Most of the time, the values for the cumulative standard normal distribution are for positive values of z. Fortunately, since the normal distributions are symmetrical, we can find the probability of a negative z having into account that (for this case):

$\\ P(z>-3) = 1 - P(z>3) = P(z$

Then

Consulting a cumulative standard normal table, we have that the cumulative probability for a value below than three (3) standard deviations is:

$\\ P(z$

Thus, "the probability that a random selected student score is greater than 76" for this case (that is, $\\ \mu = 85$ and $\\ \sigma = 3$ ) is $\\ P(x>76) = P(z>-3) = P(z$ .

As a conclusion, more than 99.865% of the values of this distribution are above (greater than) x = 76.

We can see below a graph showing this probability.

As a complement note, we can also say that:

$\\ P(z3)$

Which is the case for the probability below z = -3 [P(z<-3)], a very low probability (and a very small area at the left of the distribution).

First let's do the lemonade Side Let's say I put $100 into the business And it cost a dollar per lemon $5 for 10 lb of sugar It takes about five lemons about and a pound of sugar to make one batch that makes about 20 cups of Lemonade Each cup of lemonade for cost me roughly $0.50 I would then sell Each cup of lemonade for $0.75 and make a 5 profit Now let's talk about the cookie portion of the business You have to get milk flour sugar and salt Together that cost maybe $10 per batch Of 50 cookies Which cost roughly $0.20 to Make You can sell them at with a profit of $0.05 for $0.25 After $25 Prophet.So overall you will make roughly $30

Answer:

1.) Amount of potting soil purchased last week.

2) 2p + 4 = 28

3.) 12 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) The unknown information is what we intend to find out using the information given, which is the amount of potting soil Emmanuel bought last week.

2.)

Let amount of potting soil bought last week = p

Amount bought this week = 2p + 4

Since amount bought this week = 28

Hence, we have ;

28 = 2p + 4

28 - 4 = 2p

24 = 2p

p = 24 / 2

p = 12
