The United States Coast Guard assumes the mean weight of passengers in commercial boats is 185 pounds. The previous value was lo

wer, but was raised after a tragic boating accident. The standard deviation of passenger weights is 26.7 pounds. The weights of a random sample of 48 commercial boat passengers were recorded. The sample mean was determined to be 177.6 pounds. Find the probability that a random sample of passengers will have a weight that is as extreme or more extreme (either above or below the mean) than was observed in this sample. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Example: If the answer is 0.8976 then you would enter 0.898 in the answer box.) Note: As extreme or more extreme means that we are not only interested in values that are lower than the ones we observed, but also values that are as far away from the mean as ours in the positive direction.

Answer:

0.973

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population mean (μ) = 185

Standard deviation (σ) = 26.7

Sample mean (m) = 177.6

Sample size (n) = 48

P(m > 177.6)

Z = (m - μ) / σ/√n

Z = (177.6 - 185) / (26.7/√48)

Z = −1.920176

P( z > - 1.920) = 1 - p(z < - 1.92)

Using the z table :

1 - p(z < - 1.920) = 1 - 0.0274 = 0.9726

= 0.973

If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is
Harrizon [31]

<u>Answer</u>:  If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is <u>$147</u>.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Let x be the customer's total amount.

It is given that 15% of the customer's total = $22.05

⇒15% of x= $22.05

\Rightarrow0.15x=\$22.05\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on both sides, we get}\22.05\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{22.05}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\$147

Therefore, If 15% of the customer's total is $22.05, then the customer's total is <u>$147</u>.

A certain forest covers an area of 4000 km2. Suppose that each year this area decreases by 7%. What will the area be after 5 yea
Levart [38]
Answer:

2,600

Explanation:

Your first step is to find 7% of 4000 ( this is what it is decreasing by per year).
As a result you end up with 280.
Multiply 280 by 5.
1,400 should be your answer( amount of km decreasing after 5 years). This is a decreasing forest, so you subtract 4,000by 1,400.

The vertices of ΔRST are R(–1,–1), S(–1,11) and T(4,11). Which could be the side lengths of a triangle that is similar but not c
Step2247 [10]
The side lengths could be 10, 24 and 26 units.

We must first find the side lengths.  We use the distance formula to do this.

For RT:
d=\sqrt{(11--1)^2+(-1--1)^2}&#10;\\=\sqrt{(11+1)^2+(-1+1)^2}&#10;\\=\sqrt{12^2+0^2}=\sqrt{144}=12

For ST:
d=\sqrt{(11-11)^2+(4--1)^2}&#10;\\=\sqrt{0^2+(4+1)^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=\sqrt{25}=5

For TR:
d=\sqrt{(11--1)^2+(4--1)^2}&#10;\\=\sqrt{(11+1)^2+(4+1)^2}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}=13

Our side lengths, from least to greatest, are 5, 12 and 13.

To be similar but not congruent, the side lengths must have the same ratio between corresponding sides but not be the same length.  10, 24 and 26 are all 2x the original side lengths, so this works.

*50 PTS, WILL MARK BRAINLIEST*
Pavel [41]

Part A)

Total stores = 362 + 66 = 428

362 / 428 = 0.845 = 84.5% = 85%

66 / 428 = 0.154 = 15.4% = 15%

Yes this is consistent with the percentages shown in the first table.

Part B)

Total stores : 197 +115 = 312

197 / 312 = 0.631 = 63.1% = 63%

115 / 312 = 0.368 = 36.8% = 37%

The percentage for current stores is less than what is shown in the first table, so this would not be consistent.

Part C )

Percentage of new stores for the Northeast = 60 / 310 = 19%

The percentage of new stores for The Midwest and Northeast are below 25%, but the percentage of new stores in the South is above 25%, so the additional training wouldn't be required for the South, but should be required for the other two areas.
