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.

If m∠EBD= 4x - 8 and m∠EBC= 5x + 20, find the value of x and m∠EBC.
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

-28 = x

Step-by-step explanation

[5x + 20] + [4x - 8] = 180

9x + 12 = 180

- 12 -12

______________

9x = 168

18⅔ = x

m∠EBC = 5[18⅔] + 20 = 113⅓

93⅓

You will get a negative answer if you set them equal to each other, which is not allowed when you are talking about <em>length</em><em>.</em>

I hope this is correct, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.

You have 8 gallons of lemonade to sell. You use cone-shaped cups that are 9 centimeters in diameter and 12 centimeters tall. Eac
andre [41]

You will need 119 cups to sell all of the lemonade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Diameter of cups = 9 cm

Radius of cup = \frac{Diameter}{2}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5\ cm

Height of cups = 12 cm

We will find volume of cup.

Volume = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\

Putting all the values

Volume=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(4.5)^2(12)\\\\Volume=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(20.25)(12)\\\\Volume= \frac{763.02}{3}\\\\Volume= 254.34\ cm^3

Therefore;

Each cup can hold 254.34 cubed centimeter of lemonade.

Number of gallons = 8

1 gallon = 3785 cm³

8 gallons = 3785*8 = 30280 cm³

Let,

x = Number of cups

Volume of lemonade in one cup * Number of cups = Volume of 8 gallons

254.34x=30280

Dividing both sides by 254.34

\frac{254.34x}{254.34}=\frac{30280}{254.34}\\x=119.05

Rounding off to nearest whole number

x = 119

You will need 119 cups to sell all of the lemonade.

Answer:

<h2><u>111°</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

So lets answer this question;

Here we know that:

69° + z = 180° [Straight angle or Supplementary angle]

⇒ z = 180° - 69°

      = <u>111°</u>
