Please I need help with this question!
1 answer:
Answer:
I. 60%
II. 75.4 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use the z-scores and the standard normal distribution to answer this questions.
We have a normal distribution with mean 69 kg and variance 25 kg^2 (therefore, standard deviation of 5 kg).
I. What percentage of adult male in Boston weigh more than 72 kg?
We calculate the z-score for 72 kg and then calculate the associated probability:
II. What must an adult male weigh in order to be among the heaviest 10% of the population?
We have to calculate tha z-score that satisfies:
This happens for z=1.28 (see attachment).
Then, we can calculate the weight using this transformation:

1. Since we are using direct substitution, the only thing we need to do is replace
by 
(the quantity is approaching to) in our quantity to get:
We can conclude that the correct answer is B) -6
2. Again, since we are using direct substitution, th only thing we need to do is replace by 
(the quantity x is approaching to) to get:
We can conclude that the correct answer is D) 31
3. Direct substitution again, so we are going to replace in our quantity by 
to get:
And since cosine of is 0, and any quantity multiplied by zero is zero:
We can conclude that the correct answer is A) 0
4. Here we need to so some algebra first. Notice that if we use direct substitution, the denominator will be zero, and we cannot divide by zero. So lets massage our quantity first:
Now, we can use direct substitution to get:
We can conclude that the correct answer is B) 4
