The typing speeds for the students in a typing class is normally distributed with mean 44 words per minute and standard deviation 6 words per minute. What is the probability that a randomly selected student has a typing speed of less than 38 words per minute

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

15.87%

Step-by-step explanation:

*Probability-Below 15.87%

Z1=-1

*x-1 38

*µ 44

*σ 6

Answer 2

The probability that a randomly selected student has a typing speed of less than 38 words per minute is 15.87%.

What is z-score?

The Z-score, or standard score, is the number of standard deviations a given data point lies above or below mean.

Formula for z-score

z = (x -μ)/σ

Where,

Z is standard score.

x is observed value.

μ is mean of the sample.

σ is standard deviation of the sample.

What is probability?

The area under the normal distribution curve represents probability.

According to the given question.

Mean, μ = 44

Standard deviation, σ = 6

Observed value, x = 38

Therefore, z-score = [tex]\frac{38-44}{6}= -1[/tex]

So, the are P(z > -1) = 15.87%

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected student has a typing speed of less than 38 words per minute is 15.87%.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 cm and one side is 2 cm longer than the other side. Find the length of each side to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer:

The two legs of the right triangle are approximately 3.1 cm and 5.1 cm and the hypotenuse is 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be one leg of the right triangle.

Since the other leg is two centimeters longer, it can be represented by the expression:

[tex]x + 2 \text{ cm}[/tex]

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, for a right triangle:

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]

Where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the two legs.

The hypotenuse is given to be 6 cm and the two legs are x and (x + 2). Hence:

[tex](x)^2 + (x+2)^2 = 6^2[/tex]

Solve for x. Simplify:

[tex]x^2 + (x^2 + 4x + 4) = 36[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 36[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]2x^2 + 4x - 32 =0[/tex]

Divide:

[tex]x^2 + 2x - 16 = 0[/tex]

The equation is not factorable, so we can consider using the quadratic formula:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

In this case, a = 1, b = 2, and c = -16. Substitute:

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{-(2)\pm\sqrt{(2)^2-4(1)(-16)}}{2(1)}[/tex]

And evaluate:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}x &= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{68}}{2} \\ \\ &= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4\cdot 17}}{2} \\ \\ &= \frac{-2\pm2\sqrt{17}}{2} \\ \\ &= -1 \pm \sqrt{17} \end{aligned}[/tex]

Hence, our two solutions are:

[tex]\displaystyle x = -1 + \sqrt{17} \approx 3.1\text{ or } x = -1 - \sqrt{17} \approx -5.1[/tex]

Lengths cannot be negative, so we can ignore the second solution.

Hence, the value of x or the first side length is about 3.1 centimeters.

Since the other side length is two centimeters longer, the other side is about 5.1 centimeters.

In conclusion, the two legs of the right triangle are approximately 3.1 cm and 5.1 cm and the hypotenuse is 6 cm.

Jasper Hall sells farm chemicals. He is paid a commission of 99% of his first $6,000 in sales during the month and 14% on all sales over $6,000. What is his commission in a month in which he has sales worth $16,120? ​

Answers

Amount of total commission is $1,956.8 (Approx.)

Given:

Percent of commission upto $6,000 sale = 9% (Misprint)

Percent of commission over $6,000 sale = 14%

Amount of total sales = $16,120

Find:

Amount of total commission

Computation:

Amount of commission upto $6,000 sale = 6000 × 9%

Amount of commission upto $6,000 sale = $540

Amount remain = 16120 - 6000

Amount of commission upto $6,000 sale = $10,120

Amount of commission over $6,000 sale = 10,1200 × 14%

Amount of commission over $6,000 sale = $1,416.8

Amount of total commission = Amount of commission upto $6,000 sale + Amount of commission over $6,000 sale

Amount of total commission = 540 + 1,416.8

Amount of total commission = 1956.8

Amount of total commission = $1,956.8 (Approx.)

angle 7=100 ,angle 8=80

Step-by-step explanation:

For angle 7:

By using definition of alternate interior angles:

angle 4=angle 6

Subtitute values of angles:

x+2y=3y+20

x+2y-3y=20

x-y=20.......(1)

Now by using definition of alternate opposite angles:

angle 4= angle 2

angle 2=x+2y

Angle 1 and angle 2 are the angles of straight line ,there sum will be 180.

2x+y+x+2y=180

3x+3y=180

x+y=60......(2)

Add (1) and (2):

x-y=20

x+y=60

_______

2x=80

x=40

subtitute x=40 in (2):

40+y=60

y=60-40

y=20

For angle 7:

By using definition of alternate exterior angle:

angle 1=angle 7

angle 7=2x+y

subtitute x and y:

angle 7=2(40)+20

=100

For angle 8:

By using definition of alternate opposite angle:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x

so

substituting the value in equation ii

3x + 4y = 50

or, 3x + 4(-2x) = 50

or, 3x + (-8x) = 50

or, 3x-8x = 50

or, -5x = 50

so, x = -10

so

y = -2x

or, y = -2*(-10)

so, y = 20

We have to given that,

To find the distance between the two points (7, - 1) and (9, - 9)

Since, The distance between two points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is,

⇒ d = √ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

Hence, We get;

The distance between the two points (7, - 1) and (9, - 9) are,

d = √ (9 - 7)² + (- 9 + 1)²

d = √4 + 64

d = √68
