Answer:  0.0918, it is not unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.91.

i.e. \mu=8.54 minutes and \sigma= 1.91 minutes

Let x denotes the length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase.

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

Then, the probability that a randomly selected individual will take less than 6 minutes to select a shoe purchase will be :-

\text{P-value=}P(x

Thus , the required probability = 0.0918

Since, P-value (0.0918) >0.05 , it means this outcome is not unusual.

[Note : When a outcome is unusual then the probability of its happening is less than or equal to 0.05. ]

Determine whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, give a reason or cite an appropriate statement from t
Over [174]

Answer:

1) a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If the multiple of one column of a matrix A is added to another to form matrix B then we get: |A| = |B|. Here, the value of the determinant does not change. The correct option is A

a. False, adding a multiple of one column to another does not change the value of the determinant.

2) Two matrices can be column-equivalent when one matrix is changed to the other using a sequence of elementary column operations. Correc option is d.

d. True, column-equivalent matrices are matrices that can be obtained from each other by performing elementary column operations on the other.

Given: Two concentric circles with Center Point p. How many tangent lines can be drawn that both circles share?
levacccp [35]

Answer: I think that it's not One but It's <u><em>ZERO</em></u> because a tangent line can only touch the circle at one point and if it touches the small circle once it would have to go through the larger one twice.

Edit: I just checked and it's definitely<u><em> ZERO</em></u>

The radius of a cylinder is 5" and the lateral area is 70 sq. in. Find the length of the altitude. 2.8" 7" 14"
algol13
The correct question is
<span>The radius of a cylinder is 5" and the lateral area is 70pi sq. in. Find the length of the altitude.
</span>
we know that

[surface lateral area]=(2*pi*r)*height
height= [surface lateral area]/(2*pi*r)
surface lateral area=70*pi in²
r=5 in 
so
height= [70*pi]/(2*pi*5)------> 7 in

the answer is
7 in

Jill is standing at the base of her apartment building. She measures the angle of elevation to the top of a nearby tower to be 4
almond37 [142]
1) From the measure of 40°, you can write:

tan(40°) = 100/x, where x is the base from the building to the tower

⇒x=100/tan(40°) = 119,18 m

2) From the measure of 30°, you can write

tan(30°) = y / 119,18, where y is the height from the roof of Jill's building to the top of the tower.

Then, y = tan(30°) * 119,18 = 68,81 m

3) The height of Jill's building is 100 - 68,81 = 31,19 m
