Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of the triangle = 1/4 square meters

From the diagram,

Height = 2/5 m

To find : Length of the base

Formula : -

A = bh/2

Here,

A denotes Area

b denotes Base

h denotes Height

A = 1/4

h = 2/5

A = bh/2

Cross multiply,

A * 2 = bh

2A = bh

2 * (1/4) = b * (2/5)

(1 * 2)/4 = (b * 2)/5

2/4 = 2b/5

1/2 = 2b/5

Cross multiply,

1 * 5 = 2 * 2b

5 = 4b

b = 4/5 meters

Hence,

The length of the base is 4/5 meters.

The mean height of women in a country (ages 20-29) is 64 4 inches A random sample of 50 women in this age group is selected What

Simora [160]

Answer:

0.0721 = 7.21% probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
