A factory makes components used in jet engines, including reinforced steel washers. The washers are required to have a very precise diameter. The diameter of the washers follow a normal distribution with mean 1.59 millimeters and standard deviation 0.026 millimeters.

1.A worker measures a washer and finds its diameter to be the 15th percentile. What does this mean?

a. The diameter of the washer is 15% as long as it should be.
b. There is a 15% chance that the washer has the right diameter.
c.15% of the washers have a wider diameter than the washer in question.
d.15% of the washers have a shorter diameter than the washer in question.

2.The diameter of the washers are required to be between 1.53 millimeters and 1.65 millimeters long. Any washers that do not meet this requirement must be discarded. What percentage of washers will the factory have to discard?

a. None of them.
b.1.2% of them.
c.2.1% of them.
d.97.9% of them.
e.98.8% of them.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x

b) k’(6, 4); l’(3, 3)

step-by-step explanation:

a 270° clockwise rotation maps every point (x, y) to (y, -x). (it negates the x-coordinate and then switches it and the y-coordinate.)

this means the endpoints of the side congruent to kl, k' and l', would be mapped as:

k'(-4, 6)→(6, 4)

l'(-3, 3)→(3, 3)
