What percentage of men over 20
have upper arm lengths greater than 44.2 cm?
Provide your answer to one decimal place.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that 16% of men over 20 have upper arm lengths greater than 44.2 cm.

What does the Empirical Rule state?

It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of  the mean.Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

For the distribution in this problem, we have that:

The mean is of 39.1 cm.The standard deviation is of 5.1 cm.

Hence, 44.2 is one standard deviation above the mean, as 44.2 = 39.1 + 1 x 5.1.

The normal distribution is symmetric, meaning that 50% of the measures are above the mean and 50% are below. Of those measures above the mean, 68% are less than 44.2 and 32% are more than 44.2 cm, hence:

0.5 x 32 = 16%.

16% of men over 20 have upper arm lengths greater than 44.2 cm.

The values for which the ball's height is 19 feet are 9.5 sec and 8.5-sec using quadratic equations.

What is a quadratic equation?

In algebra, a quadratic equation is any equation that can be rearranged in standard form as

ax² + b*x + c = 0

The figures a, b, and c are the portions of the equation and may be distinguished by calling them, independently, the quadratic measure, the direct measure, and the constant or free term.

The values of x that satisfy the equation are called results of the equation, and the roots or bottoms of the expression on its left-hand side.

A quadratic equation has at most two solutions.

Given,

Initial height h(0) = 3 ft

Initial upward velocity v(0) = 36 ft/sec

Given ball height after 't' seconds is h(t) = 3 + 36t - 16r²

for h= 19 ft

19 = 3 + 36 t - 16 r²

16 r² - 36 t + 16 = 0

4 r² - 9 t + 4 = 0

Quadratic equation for ax² + b*x + c = 0 is x = -b ±√b² - 4ac / 2a

By using the above formula we get

t = 9 ± √9² - 4*4*4 / 2*4

t = 9 ± √81 - 64 / 8

t = 9 ± √17 / 8

t = 9 + √17 / 8              t = 9 - √17 / 8

t = 9 + 0.5                    t = 9 - 0.5

t = 9.5                           t = 8.5

The values for which the ball's height is 19 feet are 9.5 sec and 8.5-sec using quadratic equations.

logs (20x + 5y) using the properties of logarithms to expand

Answers

The logarithmic expansion of logs(20x + 5y) by using the properties of logarithmic is log(5)+log(4x+y).

The basic logarithmic function is of the form f(x) = logₐx(r)n = logₐx, where a > 0. It is the inverse of the exponential function aⁿ = x. Log functions include natural logarithm (ln) or common logarithm (log). Logarithmic functions is very useful in various mathematical computations.

Given that, log(20x+5y) and we have to expand it by using the properties of logarithms. So, let's proceed to solve the question.

log(20x+5y)

we can write 20 in terms of powers like 20 = (2²)x5

log((2².5)x+5y)

log(5(2².5x/5+5y/5))

log(5(2²x+y))

log(5(4x+y))

log(ab) = log(a)+log(b)

⇒log(5(4x+y)) = log(5)+log(4x+y)

Hence, on expanding log(20x+5y) by using the properties of logarithms we get log(5)+log(4x+y) as our required answer.

The probability that a random bird chosen from among these is NOT a duck is 0.67

Given the total number of birds = 262

No of geese = 65

No of ducks = 84

No of robins = 113

We need to find the probability that a random bird chosen from among these is not a duck is

P ( not a duck ) = (total number of birds  - no of ducks) / total number of birds

Rita’s recipe for berry pies requires blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. The ratio of cups of blueberries to cups of raspberries is 1 : 3. The ratio of cups of raspberries to cups of strawberries is 4 : 3. A batch of eight berry pies has a total of 25 cups of berries. How many cups of strawberries are in each pie?

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that there are 1.125 cups of strawberries in each pie.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures can be related using a rule of three, which derives from proportional relationships.

Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures, involving operations such as division and multiplication, as they involve unit rates.

For this problem, from the ratios, we have that:

The ratio of cups of blueberries to cups of raspberries is 1 : 3, hence, for each 4 cups, 1 is blueberry and 3 is raspberry.The ratio of cups of raspberries to cups of strawberries is 4 : 3, hence, for each 7 cups, 4 are raspberries and 3 are strawberries.

The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12, hence, multiplying 4 by 3, the ratio is:

Raspberries : Strawberries : Blueberries = 12 : 9 : 4

Meaning that our of 12 + 9 + 4 = 25 cups, we have that:

12 cups are of raspberries.9 cups are of strawberries.4 cups is of blueberries.

There amounts are for 8 pies, hence, for a single pie:

9/8 = 1.125 cups.

There are 1.125 cups of strawberries in each pie.

A car rental agency advertised renting a car for $27.95 per day and $0.25 per mile. If Greg rents this car for 3 days, how many whole miles can he drive on a $150 budget?

Answers

Answer: 264.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation: Let's put the info we got from the problem into an equation. If the car is rented for three days, we need to multiply 27.95 by 3, which will give us 83.85. Now let's use the equation 150=83.85 + 0.25x, where x represents miles. Subtract 83.85 from both sides and we get 66.15 = 0.25x. Now divide both sides by 0.25 and we get x = 264.6.

Answer:

264 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 27.95x + 0.25n where:

y = budget

x = days rented

n = miles driven

150 = 27.95(3) + 0.25n

150 = 83.85 + 0.25n

150 - 83. 85 = 0.25n

66.15 = 0.25n

66.15 / 0.25 = n

n = 264.6 miles

27.95(3) + 0.25(246.6) = $150

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

Before beginning the problem, we have that the symbol # represents a pound, which has 16 ounces.

The remaining fillets weight 4 # 15 oz = 4 pounds + 15/16 of a pound. Hence, considering the cost of $2.74 per pound:

4 x 2.74 + 15/16 x 2.74 = $13.53.

The total value of the remaining fillets is of $13.53.

The price per pound is still the same, of $2.54.

The yield is of 4 pounds + 15/16 of a pound = 4.9375 pounds out of 7 + 6/16 = 7.375 pounds, hence the percentage is:

4.9375/7.375 x 100% = 66.95%.

The salmon’s yield percentage is of 66.95%.

Hence, for 6 + 14/16 = 6.875 pounds, the yield would be of:

0.6695 x 6.875 = 4.6 pounds.

You would expect to yield 4.6 pounds of boneless salmon fillet from the next salmon weighing 6 # 14 oz.

which is maximized at [tex]t=\frac\pi4[/tex] with a value of [tex]\sqrt2\,\sin\left(\frac\pi2\right)=\sqrt2[/tex], and minimized at [tex]t=0[/tex] and [tex]t=\frac\pi2[/tex] with a value of [tex]\sqrt2\,\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}4\right)=1[/tex].

Hercules and Gretta are hiking on the same trail. Hercules's elevation
5
is-26 feet whereas Gretta's elevation is -4-feet. How much
8
greater is Gretta's elevation than Hercules's?

Answers

Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

put the subtraction sign to the side

26 (Gretta's elevation)

-  4 (Hercules' elevation)

22

then re-add the subtraction sign (-22) then you have an answer

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3.

a) Show that the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

b) The hypotenuse of the triangle is 19 cm long.

Calculate the length of the shortest side in the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

  a) the largest angle is 90°, making it a right triangle

  b) the shortest side is 9.5 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the largest angle and the shortest side in a triangle whose angles are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3.

Angles

Let x represent the smallest angle. Then the other two angles are 2x and 3x. Their sum is ...

  x +2x +3x = 180°

  x = 30° . . . . . divide by 6

  3x = 90° . . . . find the largest angle

The largest angle is 90°, a right angle. So, the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Sides

A triangle with angles of 30°, 60°, and 90° is a "special" right triangle. Its sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2. That is, the shortest side is 1/2 the length of the longest side.

  shortest side = 1/2(19 cm) = 9.5 cm

The length of the shortest side in the triangle is 9.5 cm.

Additional comment

In case you're not familiar with the side length ratios of the 30-60-90 special triangle, you can figure the side length from the Law of Sines. That tells you ...

  a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

where A, B, C are the angles; and a, b, c are their opposite sides.

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, so we have ...

  a/sin(30°) = (19 cm)/sin(90°)

  a = sin(30°)×(19 cm) = 1/2(19 cm) = 9.5 cm

The length of the shortest side is 9.5 cm.
