Answer:

20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is calculated by multiplying its height by its base. Because they are the same in a square, the area of a square is obtained by squaring one of its sides. Let's call the sides 'x'. Then we can express the area of the garden as x^2=400.

From here we simply need to square root both sides which gives us:

x=20

Therefore the length of one side of the garden is 20 yards.

Hope this helped!

Using the technique in the model above, find the missing segments in this 30°-60°-90° right triangle. AB = 8 BC = 4 CD =

zimovet [89]

For a 30-60-90 triangle the sides always have the same relationship
Short leg = a
Long leg = a√3
Hypotenuse = 2a

BC is the short leg of ∆ABC

Given BC = 2
BC = a
Therefor
a = 2
AB = 2a = 4
AC = a√3 = 2√3

For ∆ACD
As above AC = 2√3
Since AC is the hypotenuse of ∆ACD
2a = 2√3
a = √3

CD = a = √3
AD = a√3 = 3

For ∆BCD
As above
BC = 2
CD = √3
Since BC is the hypotenuse of ∆BCD
2a = 2
a = 1

DB = a = 1

The amount of rhubarb in the original recipe is 3 1/2 cups. Using what you know of whole numbers and what you know of fractions,

Alexxx [7]

The easiest way, I think, is to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, then multiply by 3.
3 1/2 = 7/2
7/2 · 3 = 21/2
now just change the improper fraction back to a mixed number by dividing and putting the remainder into fraction form
21/2 = 10 1/2

You could also multiply the whole number by 3 and the fraction by 3, ending up with 9 3/2, but then have to convert the improper fraction into a mixed number
3/2 = 1 1/2
then add the numbers together
9 + 1 1/2 = 10 1/2
either way works, whatever is easiest for you.

Answer:

a) $P(5$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-1.90$

And using the norma standard distribution or excel we got:

$P(-1.90$

b) $P(X>6) =P(Z> \frac{6-7.37}{1.25}) = P(Z>-1.096)$

And using the complement rule we got:

$P(Z>-1.096) =1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(7.37,1.25)$
