Assume that the distribution of weights of adult men in the United States is normal with mean 190 pounds and standard deviation

30 pounds. The weight of a randomly selected adult male in the United States marks the start of the 40th percentile. How much does he weigh? Enter a number rounded to two decimal places, e.g. 165.12 not 165.12876. Do not enter the units.

Answer:

182.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 190, \sigma = 30

40th percentile

Value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.4. So X when Z = -0.253.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.253 = \frac{X - 190}{30}

X - 190 = -0.253*30

X = 182.41

So the answer is 182.41.

Can someone help?!! i’ll give brainlist if it’s right!
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

X >  -3, 0.28, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7 >  -12 - To solve add 7 to both sides

x > -5 Which means every number GREATER but not EQUAL to 5 will count as a solution to the equation, therefore 5 is not a correct answer. -3 is greater then -5, and any positive number is greater then any negative number.

Therefore the Correct Answer is : -3. 0.28, 4
