Weights of cars passing over bridge part 3

  d. 30.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable calculator pegs the probability of exceeding 0.51724 standard deviations above the mean as about 0.3025 = 30.25%. The closest answer is choice D.

  Z = (X -μ)/σ = (4000 -3550)/870 = 450/870 ≈ 0.51724

Comment on the answer choices

30.42% is the probability of exceeding 3995 pounds, not 4000.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

2/3x + 7 = 29

step-by-step explanation:

two thirds = 2/3

plus a number = x

at least 29 = 29

there for you should get 2/3x + 7 = 29
