To compute for the probability value of P-value, we need to see first as to how is 3 years from the given mean value. So, for this case we have (3 - 4) = 1 below the standard deviation of 0.8. Thus, the z -score for this would me z < -1/0.8 = -1.25. Given a z-score of z < -1.25. Using the table chart for the P-values, we have P(z < -1.25) = 0.1056. Meaning there is a 10.56% chance that a CD will last for less than 3 years. Thus, probability is 10.56%<span>.</span>

A square pyramid has sides of 8 m. Each face is an equilateral triangle. What is the lateral area of the pyramid?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The lateral area is equal to

LA=64\sqrt{3}\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem the lateral area is equal to the area of one equilateral triangle multiplied by 4

To find the area of one equilateral triangle calculate the height

The area of the triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

we have

b=8\ m

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

h^{2}=8^{2} -4^{2} \\h^{2}=64-16\\ h=\sqrt{48} \\ h=4\sqrt{3}\ m

The area of one triangle is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(8)(4\sqrt{3})\ m^{2}

so

The lateral area is equal to

LA=4\frac{1}{2}(8)(4\sqrt{3})=64\sqrt{3}\ m^{2}

Find all of the polar coordinates of point P if p=(1,-pi/6)
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The all polar coordinates of point P are  (1 , -pi/6 + 2nn) and (-1, -pi/6+(2n+1)n).

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar coordinates can be written as (r,Ф)= (r,Ф+2nn) or (r,Ф) =(-r,Ф+(2n+1)n) and n is any integer value.

We are given p=(1,-pi/6)

P(r,Ф), then r = 1 and Ф = -pi/6

The polar coordinates will be

P(r,Ф)= (r,Ф+2nn)  = (1 , -pi/6 + 2nn) and n is any positive integer and the value of r is positive.

P(r,Ф) =(-r,Ф+(2n+1)n) = (-1, -pi/6+(2n+1)n) and n is any positive integer and the value of r is negative.

The all polar coordinates of point P are  (1 , -pi/6 + 2nn) and (-1, -pi/6+(2n+1)n)

After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year an
galben [10]

Answer:

y=32000(1+0.08)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential growth function is y=a(1+r)^x

Where 'a' is the initial population

r is the rate of growth and x is the time period in years

a steady population of 32,000. So initial population is 32,000

an increase of 8% per year. the rate of increase is 8% that is 0.08

a= 32000 and r= 0.08

Plug in all the values in the general equation

y=a(1+r)^x

y=32000(1+0.08)^x

y=32000(1+0.08)^x

Anna and Veronica are on the opposite sides of a tower of 160 meters height. They measure the angle of elevation of the top of t
MAXImum [283]

Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.

The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:

Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.

Tan(40°) = X/160m

Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m

Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°

So we have:

Tan(55°) = X/160m

Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m

And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:

Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m
