PLS I NEED HELP I ONLY HAVE 15 MINS I BEG YOU PLEASE!! :( In the year 1984 the average American used to eat 55.7 pounds of chicken. This was 2.8 pounds more than the the year 1982 average. By what percent did chicken consumption increase from the year 1982 to the year 1984?

To solve this, we need to use the z statistic. The formula for z score is:

z = (x – u) / s

where x is sample value = less than 90, u is the sample mean = 90.6, s is the standard deviation = 17.2

z = (90 – 90.6) / 17.2

z = -0.035

From the standard distribution tables:

P (z = -0.035) = 0.4860

Therefore there is about 48.60 % chance that it will be less than 90 pounds

I think it increased by 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract 2.8 from 55.7 you'll get 52.9. So I would divide 55.9 by 52.9 and get 1.05. I then would subtract 1.0

answer: the value of x is 7cm

step-by-step explanation:

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
