Answer:
57.885
Step-by-step explanation:
For such calculations a probability calculator is very helpful. The one in the attachment shows the 87th percentile to be 57.885.
___
A table of the standard normal distribution will tell you the 87th percentile corresponds to a z-value of 1.12639. Then the X value is ...
X = Zσ +μ = 1.12639(7) +50 = 57.885
Answer:
height ≈ 11.9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Construct a perpendicular bisector from the vertex to the base, thus splitting the triangle into 2 right triangles.
Using the sine ratio in one of these right triangles, then
sin48° = ( the opposite is the height h )
sin48° = ( multiply both sides by 16 )
16 × sin48° = h , thus
h ≈ 11.9 ( to the nearest tenth )
