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%.

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x-6\\2y=-4x-12

Plug the value of y into the second equation.

\\ 2(-2x-6)=-4x-12\\-4x-12=-4x-12

Add 12 on both sides.

-4x-12+12=-4x-12+12\\-4x=-4x

Add 4x on both sides.

-4x+4x=-4x+4x

0=0

Can someone help me find the value of z? ⅔z + 1 = 13
sergey [27]

Answer:

z = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ⅔z + 1 = 13

Subtract one from both sides: ⅔z = 12

Multiply both sides by the inverse of 2/3, which is 3/2: z = 18

Have a nice day!

does anybody have an easy way of finding the factors of a number without spending a long time on it? (a number like 288)
Natali [406]
There are quite a few websites that have factor lists. Also, if you can find the biggest number that goes into it, then all of the factors of that number go into it as well.

Where is the hole for the following function located?
Sholpan [36]
The hole of a function is described as the x-y coordinate wherein the denominator and numerator equates to zero. For the function f(x)= x+3/(x+4)(x+3), the common polynomial given is x-3 which can be equated to zero. Hence, 0 divided 0 means a hole in the function. If x+3 = 0, the hole of the function is at x = -3. ^w^
