Answer:

The length of longer leg is 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the longer leg of 30°-60°-90° triangle

we have to find the length of shorter leg.

$\text{Length of longer leg=AB=}16\sqrt3$

we have to find the length of BC i.e the shorter leg as side opposite to smaller angle is shortest.

By trigonometric ratios

$\tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{AB}{BC}$

$\sqrt3=\frac{16\sqrt3}{BC}$

$BC=\frac{16\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=16units$

Hence, the length of longer leg is 16 units

A bag contains 6 red balls and blue balls. 4 balls are selected at random. find the probability of selecting 4 red balls.

masya89 [10]

Another way is to note that there are (104)(104) (“10 choose 4”) ways to select 4 balls from a collection of 10. If 4 of those 10 balls are “special” in some way (in this case, “special” = “red”), then the number of ways to choose 4 special balls is (44)(44). (The factor of (60)(60) is included to convey that, after choosing 4 special balls, we choose none of the 6 non-special balls.) This line of reasoning gives the second expression.

For the 405 highway that car pass through a checkpoint, assume the speeds are normally distributed such that μ= 61 miles per hou

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

$Z = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Z - score

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 61, \sigma = 4$

Calculate the Z value for the next car that passes through the checkpoint will be traveling slower than 65 miles per hour.

This is Z when X = 65. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{65 - 61}{4}$

$Z = 1$
