The weights of cars passing over a bridge have a mean of 3,550 pounds and standard deviation of 870 pounds. Assume that the weig

hts of the cars passing over the bridge are normally distributed. Use a calculator to find the probability that the weight of a randomly-selected car passing over the bridge is less than 3,000 pounds.

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315

Given: ∠CBA ≅ ∠FBA; ∠CAB ≅ ∠FAB Prove: ΔBCA ΔBFA Complete the missing parts of the paragraph proof. Proof: We know that angle CB
saw5 [17]

Proof: We know that angle CBA is congruent to angle FBA and that angle CAB is congruent to angle FAB because the corresponding angles have the same measure in degrees (as evidenced in the given equation). We see that angle BCA is congruent to angle BFA by the reflexive property of congruence (More accurately Third Angle Theorem). Therefore, we can conclude that triangle BCA is congruent to triangle BFA because a pair of corresponding angles and the included side are equal, since the two triangles share a line segment (AB).

Answer:

The probability is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is considering the fact that the two married employees be treated as a single unit.

Now what this means is that we would be having 8 desks to assign.

Mathematically, the number of ways to assign 8 desks to 8 employees is equal to 8!

Now, the number of ways the couple can interchange their desks is just 2 ways

Thus, the number of ways to assign desks such that the couple has adjacent desks is 2(8!)

The number of ways to assign desks among all six employees randomly is 9!

Thus, the probability that the couple will have adjacent desks would be ;

2(8!)/9! = 2/9

This means that the probability that the couple have non adjacent desks is 1-2/9 = 7/9 = 0.77778

Which is 0.8 to the nearest tenth of a percent
