B/13-3b/13=8/13 help please
1 answer:
Since the two fractions have a common denominator already, we can just subtract the numerators.
b-3b=-2b or -3b+b=-2b
Either way you get the same answer :)
Our new fraction is
Now we know that this must be equal to
Again, since the denominators are already the same of course they are equal. 13=13
Now we have to set the numerators equal
-2b=8
Use inverse operations to get b alone
-2b=8
÷-2 ÷-2
b=-4
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope this helped! :)

Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the hips breadths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
We can find a quantile in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64
Using this value we can set up the following equation:
And we have:
And if we solve for a we got
The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.
