Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
let me know if you got it right
● 3x^2 - 10 = 0
Add 10 to both sides
● 3x^2 - 10 + 10 = 10
● 3x^2 = 10
Divide both sides by 3
● 3x^2/3 = 10/3
● x^2 = 10/3
● x = √( 10/3 ) or x = - √( 10/3 )
● √(10/3) + (-√(10/3)) = 0
● √(10/3) × -√(10/3) = -10/3
You should ignore the negative answers because you can't have negative distance. For example, if you are going back 7 feet, you are still going 7 feet. In that situation, the answer would 7 not -7.
Answer:
the height that represents the 99th percentile is 69.324 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
the mean height = 62.8 inches
standard deviation = 2.8 inches
For 99th percentile;
Let X be the random variable;
SO, P(Z≤ z) = 0.99
From the standard normal z tables
P(Z )= 2.33
The standard z score formula is :


2.33 × 2.8 = X - 62.8
6.524 = X - 62.8
6.524 +62.8 = X
69.324 = X
X = 69.324
Therefore; the height that represents the 99th percentile is 69.324 inches
