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.

A12.5 ft ladder is leaning against the side of a house. If the ladder is resting 12 feet off the ground, how far is the ladder f
Elanso [62]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be calculatdd by applyinthe g Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2= c^2

12^2 + x^2= 12.5^2

144+ x^2= 156.25

x^2= 156.25-144

x^2= 12.25

x= √12.25

x= 3.5

Hence the distance between the ladder and the house is 3.5 ft

Find an upper limit for the zeroes 2x^4 -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0
erik [133]

<u>Answer-</u>

2 is the upper limit for the zeros.

<u>Solution-</u>

The given function f(x) is,

2x^4 -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0

For calculating the zeros,

\Rightarrow f(x)=0

\Rightarrow 2x^4 -7x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0

\Rightarrow 2x^4-4x^3-3x^3+6x^2-2x^2+ 4x+3x-6=0

\Rightarrow 2x^3(x-2)-3x^2(x-2)-2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(2x^3-3x^2-2x+3)=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(x^2(2x-3)-1(2x-3))=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(x^2-1)(2x-3)=0

\Rightarrow (x-2)(x+1)(x-1)(2x-3)=0

\Rightarrow x-2=0,\ x+1=0,\ x-1=0,\ 2x-3=0

\Rightarrow x=2,\ x=-1,\ x=1,\ x=\frac{3}{2}

From all the 4 roots, it can be obtained that 2 is the greatest zero.
