Answer:

The standard deviation of that data set is 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 55

95% of the data fall between 47.4 and 62.6. This means that 47.4 is 2 standard deviations below the mean and 62.6 is two standard deviations above the mean.

Using one of these points.

55 + 2sd = 62.6

2sd = 7.6

sd = 7.6/2

sd = 3.8

The standard deviation of that data set is 3.8

To prove that the triangles are similar by the SAS similarity theorem, it needs to be proven that
mariarad [96]
SAS for similar triangles is NOT the same theorem as we used for congruent triangles. To show triangles are similar, it is sufficient to show that two sets of corresponding sides are in proportion and the angles they include are congruent. Theorem: If an angle of one triangle is congruent to the corresponding angle of another triangle and the lengths of the sides including these angles are in proportion, the triangles are similar.

In an examination, a candidate has to score 40% marks to pass. Anil scores 22 and failed by 8 marks. What is the full marks?​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let full marks be x

Then pass marks is 40% of x which is 0.4x

As per given, we have

22= 0.4x - 8

Solving for x

0.4x = 30

x = 30/0.4

x = 75

So full marks is 75

Luda [366]

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|} for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 39.8 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta} and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{39.8}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=28.1424

Now substitute the value of β in \lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}.

\lambda=\frac{1}{28.1424}=0.03553357

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Determine the value of (tangent of 88 degrees, 22 minutes, and 45 seconds). In this case, minutes are 1/60 of a degree and secon
mariarad [96]

Answer:

  c.  35.34015106

Step-by-step explanation:

As with many problems of this nature, you only need to get close to be able to choose the correct answer. 22 minutes 45 seconds is just slightly less than 1/2 degree (30 minutes), so the tangent value will be just slightly less than tan(88.5°) ≈ 38. The appropriate choice is 35.34015106.

If you need confirmation, you can find tan(88°) ≈ 29, so you know the answer will be between 29 and 38.

__

The above has to do with strategies for choosing answers on multiple-choice problems. Below, we will work the problem.

The angle is (in degrees) ...

  88 + 22/60 +45/3600 = 88 + (22·60 +45)/3600 = 88 +1365/3600

  ≈ 88.3791666... (repeating) . . . . degrees

A calculator tells you the tangent of that is ...

  tan(88.3791666...°) ≈ 35.3401510614

Many calculators will round that to 10 digits, as in the answer above. Others can give a value correct to 32 digits. Spreadsheet values will often be correct to 15 or 16 digits.
