Let n = the number of points
(x-1) + ... (x-x)
The last term will always be 0, when you reach that, stop.
ex. 1pt: 1-1=0
2pt: (2-1) + (2-2) = 1
3pt: (3-1) + (3-2) + (3-3) = 3
The smallest is 1/(5+1) = 1/6 of the total length, so is (276 in)/6 = 46 in.
The largest is 5*46 in = 230 in.
The two pieces are 46 in and 230 in.
I don't see the steps, but the steps that I use are:
1. Multiply the denominator by the whole number
2. Then you add the numerator to your sum.
3. The number that you just got by doing those steps is now going to be your numerator and your old denominator is going to stay your denominator.
Example:
2 2/3
3*2=6
6+2=8
8/3 is your new answer.
Answer: the probability that a measurement exceeds 13 milliamperes is 0.067
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that the current measurements in a strip of wire are assumed to follow a normal distribution, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = current measurements in a strip.
µ = mean current
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 10
σ = 2
We want to find the probability that a measurement exceeds 13 milliamperes. It is expressed as
P(x > 13) = 1 - P(x ≤ 13)
For x = 13,
z = (13 - 10)/2 = 1.5
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.933
P(x > 13) = 1 - 0.933 = 0.067
Answer:
Shorter leg = 2.5 ft.
Longer leg = 6.5 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Because the hypotenuse = 7 ft, a^2 + b^2 = 49
To represent the two legs, we can use x and x+4.
x^2 + (x+4)^2 = 49
Simplifying this equation using FOIL gives us 2x^2 + 8x - 33 = 0.
Then, using the quadratic formula, we find that x = 2.5.
Thus, the shorter leg is 2.5 ft. and, when 4 is added, the longer leg is 6.5 ft.
