Answer: 97.72%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A shoe manufacturer collected data regarding men's shoe sizes and found that the distribution of sizes exactly fits the normal curve.

Let x be the random variable that represents the shoe sizees.

Also, The population mean = \mu=11 ; Standard deviation: \sigma=1.5

Formula for z:-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Put x= 8, we get

z=\dfrac{8-11}{1.5}=-2

Now, the probability that the male shoe sizes are greater than 8 :-

P(x>8)=P(z>-2)=1-P(z\leq-2)\\\\=1-0.0227501=0.9772499\approx0.9772

Hence, the percent of male shoe sizes are greater than 8 is 97.72%.

A building has an entry the shape of a parabolic arch 84 ft high and 42 ft wide at the base, as shown below. A parabola opening
Gala2k [10]
Since the parabola passes by the center its equation is:

y = ax². But it opens downward, that means the coefficient a is negative.

Then the equation becomes:

y = - ax², with x = 0 as its axis of symmetry.

We are given that the height is 84 ft when the opening downward is 42 ft.
That means to the (height) y, corresponds x =+21 & x=-21 (due to symmetry).
In order to calculate a let's plug y & x with their related values:

y = - ax²

84 = - a(21)²

84 = - a(441) and a = - 84/441 ↔ a = - 4/21

 And the final equation is : y = -4/21. x²

Triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Which would prove that ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ? Select two options. StartFraction B A Over Y X = StartF
sergejj [24]

Answer: Answer is 3

BC        6

------ = ------

XY         3

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements below can be used to prove that the triangles are similar.

On a coordinate plane, right triangles A B C and X Y Z are shown. Y Z is 3 units long and B C is 6 units long.  

A B Over X Y = 4 Over 2

?  

A C Over X Z = 52 Over 13  

△ABC ~ △XYZ by the SSS similarity theorem.

Which mathematical statement is missing?

1.   Y Z Over B C = 6 Over 3  

2.  ∠B ≅ ∠Y

3.  B C Over Y Z = 6 Over 3  

4.  ∠B ≅ ∠Z

Abit is planning a birthday party for his granddad. He bought a cake for $18\$18$18dollar sign, 18. He also wants to buy some ba
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$1.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Budget = $35

Cake Spent = $18

Remaining Money = 35 - 18 = $17

Since, each balloon is worth $4, to find how many balloons he will get with remaining money ($17), we divide the the remaining money by price of each balloon:

17/4 = 4.25

We can't have fractional balloons, so Abit can get 4 balloons, MAXIMUM.

4 balloons cost = $4 per balloon * 4 = $16

So, from $17 if he spends $16 for balloons, he will have left:

$17 - $16 = $1.00

It is known that a cable with a​ cross-sectional area of 0.300.30 sq in. has a capacity to hold 2500 lb. If the capacity of the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

0.84 square in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the capacity of the cable is proportional to its​ cross-sectional area. If a cable that is 0.3 sq in can hold 2500 lb then per square inch it can hold

2500 / 0.3 = 8333.33 lb/in

To old 7000 lb it the cross-sectional area would need to be

7000 / 8333.33 = 0.84 square in
