If the ratio of men to women is 3:2 and there are 120 men, how many women would there be?

2 answers:

5 0

There would be 80 women.
Here's the work:
120 divided by 3 = 40
If the ratio is 3:2, there is always one less woman then men, so you subtract the 40 men in a group and you get your answer of 80

Hope I helped!! :)

I think the answer is 80, but I'm not quite sure : (

8 of the 1/8 inch=1 of the 1 cubic inch
He could do 144 and 0

Answer:

The bottom cutoff heights to be eligible for this experiment is 66.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches.

This means that $\mu = 69, \sigma = 2.8$
