Answer:

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

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 = 330, \sigma = 12

a. Highest 20 percent

At least X

100-20 = 80

So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.

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

0.842 = \frac{X - 330}{12}

X - 330 = 12*0.842

X = 340.1

Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the inequality like an equation using inverse operations.

-6n+5<11

-6n+5-5<11-5

-6n<6   when you divide by -6 be sure to change the sign

n>-1

Graph it in the number by placing an open circle on -1 and marking the arrow to the right.

Hip Breadths and Aircraft Seats
Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 98% of all males. (Accommodating 100% of males would be too expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviation of 1.0 in. Find P 98. That is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 98% from the largest 2%.
