Answer:
y = 3x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2) ← 2 points on the line
m = =
= 3
Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 4) ⇒ c = - 4
y = 3x - 4 ← equation of line
Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 16% of data from the top 84% is 2.6024 years
The answer rounded would be 2.6 years approximately
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the shelf life 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)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.16 of the area on the left and 0.84 of the area on the right it's z=-0.994. On this case P(Z<-0.994)=0.16 and P(z>-0.994)=0.84
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 16% of data from the top 84% is 2.6024 years
The answer rounded would be 2.6 years approximately
