Scientists estimate that the distribution of the life span of the Galápagos Islands giant tortoise is
approximately normal with mean 100 years and standard deviation 15 years. Based on the estimate, which
of the following is closest to the age of a Galápagos Islands giant tortoise at the 90th percentile of the
distribution?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

119.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Mean (m) = 100 years

Standard deviation (sd) = 15 years

closest to the age of a Galápagos Islands giant tortoise at the 90th percentile of the

distribution?

Obtain the Zscore for 90th percentile (0.90) on the z table = 1.28

Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation

1.28 = (X - 100) / 15

1.28 × 15 = X - 100

19.2 = X - 100

19.2 + 100 = X

X = 119.2

Answer 2

Using the normal distribution, it is found that an age of 119 years is closest to the 90th percentile.

-------------------

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score formula is used, which, in a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], is given by:  

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. Each z-score has a p-value associated, which represents the percentile of X.

-------------------

Mean of 100 means that [tex]\mu = 100[/tex]Standard deviation of 15 means that [tex]\sigma = 15[/tex]The 90th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

Thus:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 100}{15}[/tex]

[tex]X - 100 = 15(1.28)[/tex]

[tex]X = 119.2[/tex]

An age of 119 years is closest to the 90th percentile.

What equation can Janet use to calculate the principal amount? (and please don't just answer try to solve it someone ripped me off, the last time i asked by just typing)

Answers

Answer:

t = [tex]\frac{l}{pr}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula or literal equation used to calculate the simple interest is,

l = prt

where 'l' = Simple interest

p = principle amount invested

r = rate of interest

t = time or duration of the investment

If we have to calculate the time of investment form the given formula,

l = prt

By the division property of equality,

[tex]\frac{l}{pr}=\frac{prt}{pr}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{l}{pr}[/tex]

Therefore, formula to be used is, [tex]t=\frac{l}{pr}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x - 5 = \frac{12 + 4x}{2} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2:

2(3x -5)= 12 +4x

Expand:

2(3x) +2(-5)= 12 +4x

6x -10= 12 +4x

Bring all x terms to 1 side, constant to the other:

6x -4x= 10 +12

2x= 22

Divide by 2 on both sides:

x= 22 ÷2

x= 11

6x-10=12+4x
6x-4x=12+10
2x=22
X=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the square has the definition of an object or plane that has all the four sides of equal length,

And all the angles related to the sides are also same. (all angles are 90°)

Whereas, a rectangle gets defined as the plane figure with four straight sides and the same number of right angles where the two parallel sides become of equal length.

Please help me. 50 point question

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!!!

Given,

Angle r and angle s are supplementary angle.

And angle r = 120°.

Now, we have,

supplementary angle's sum is always 180°.

So, angle r + angle s = 180°.

or, 120°+ angle s = 180°

Therefore the measure of angle s is 60°.

Hope it helps....

The question states that the angles are supplementary, meaning that both angles add up to 180. The prompt also says that angle r is 120°, this means that:

m
Plug in what you know:

120° + m
Subtract 120° from both sides:

120° + m-120° -120°

And you get:

m

Find the measure of angle XAZ in the figure below.

Answers

Answer:

m∠XAZ = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠YAU, ∠YAZ and ∠XAZ are the angles based at a point on a straight line, and the sum of the all angles on a line is 180°.

Therefore, m∠YAU + m∠YAZ + m∠XAZ = 180°

50° + 90° + m∠XAZ = 180°

m∠XAZ = 180° - 140°

             = 40°

Therefore, measure of angle XAZ is 40°.
