the average body mass index (BMI) in the 25 to 39 age group for women was found to be 24 with a standard deviation of 5

From the above, we can obtain this information:

mean: μ = 24

standard deviation: σ = 5

Question

a woman from this age group is selected at random, what is the probability she has a BMI between 32 and 35.

P ( 32

In order to find P ( 32

First, we need to calculate z-value

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(x<35)

Z=\frac{35-24}{5}=2.2

now, we can use a Z-score table to find the probability having the above z-value of 2.2

P(z<2.2) = 0.9861

Therefore, P(x<35) = 0.9861

P(x<32)

Z=\frac{32-24}{5}=1.6

Again, using the Z-score table, for a value of Z=1.6, the probability is

P(z<1.6) = 0.9452

Therefore, P(x<32) = 0.9452

Finally, we must solve P(x<35) - P(x<25) to find P(32this is: 0.9861 - 0.9452 = 0.0409

Which is the same as: P(1.6or P(32

In conclusion, the probability of selecting a woman with an IBM between 32 and 35 is P = 0.0409

Mark wants to fence 4 rectangular gardens, each with a length of 9 1/4 feet and a width of 4 1/2feet. What is the length of fenc
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

110 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of fencing is four times the perimeter of one garden.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is  

P = 2l + 2w

The total perimeter for all four rectangles is

P = 4× (2l + 2w) = 8l + 8w

Data:

 l = 9¼ ft

w = 4½ ft

Calculation:

P = 8l + 8w = 8×9¼ + 8×4½ = 72⁸/₄ + 32⁸/₂ =(72 + 2) + (32 + 4) = 74 + 36 = 110 ft

The total length of fencing is 110 ft.
