Answer:

There is 16.2% probability that a randomly selected individual will be between 185 and 190 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Z score

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

z = (x - μ) / σ

where μ is the mean, x = raw score and σ is the standard deviation.

Given μ = 180, σ = 8.

For x = 185:

z = (185 - 180)/8 = 0.625

For x = 190:

z = (190 - 180)/8 = 1.25

P(185 < x < 190) = P(0.625 < z < 1.25) = P(z < 1.25) - P(z < 0.625) = 0.8944 - 0.7324 = 16.2%

There is 16.2% probability that a randomly selected individual will be between 185 and 190 pounds

In right △ABC with right angle B, m∠A=(3x−8)° and m∠C=(x−2)°.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

<A = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

The three angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.  We know a right angle is 90 degrees.

<A + <B + <C = 180

3x-8 + 90 + x-2 =180

Combine like terms

4x-10+90 = 180

4x+80 =180

Subtract 80 from each side

4x+80-80=180-80

4x=100

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 100/4

x=25

But we want to know <A

<A = 3x-8

 Substitute x=25

    =3(25) -8

    =75-8

   = 67

What is the constant of proportionality between y/x
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the constant of proportionality between y/x you investigate the trend in values of x with corresponding values of y

For this case, when x =1, y=3.5

                       when x=2, y=7

                       

Taking in case 1, y/x = 3.5/1 = 3.5

In case 2, y/x= 7/2 = 3.5

But you know that the constant of proportionality k is given by;

y=kx------------------------making k subject of formula

y/x=k

Hence in this case, your constant of proportionality is 3.5

Determine the value for AB
grin007 [14]

Answer:

x = 2

AB = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

2x(10) = 8(x+3)

20x = 8x + 24

subtract 8x from both sides

12x = 24

x = 2

Check:

4(10) = 8(5)

40 = 40

Correct

2x = 2 x 2 = 4

4 + 10 = 14

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!
