Answer:
BC = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
B is the midpoint of AC
Then AC = AB + BC
AC = 8x - 20 and AB = 3x - 1
Then,
8x - 20 = (3x - 1) + BC
8x - 20 - (3x - 1) = BC
8x - 20 - 3x + 1 = BC
5x - 19 = BC
But AB = BC
5x - 19 = 3x - 1
5x - 3x = - 1 + 19
2x = 18
x = 9
Hence,
Since BC = AB = 3x - 1
3(9) - 1
27 - 1
= 26
There were 340,000 cattle placed on feed
How many of the 340,000 cattle placed on feed were between 700 and 799 pounds?
Given the fraction of total cattle for 700 - 799 pounds is 2/5
Let x be the number of cattle between 700 - 799 pounds
We make a proportion using the fraction
Cross multiply it and solve for x
340000* 2 = 5x
680000 = 5x
Divide by 5 on both sides
So x= 136,000
There were 136,000 cattle between 700 and 799 pounds
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the mean incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.
Let X be the incubation time for a type of fertilized egg kept at a certain temperature is 25 days.
X is N(25, 1)
a) Normal curve is in the attached file
b) the probability that a randomly selected fertilized egg hatches in less than 23 days
=
we convert x into Z score and use std normal distn table to find probability
i.e. we can say only 2.5% proportion will hatch in less than 23 days.
