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%.

Complex numbers zj and zz are given by zj = 3- j2, zz = - 4 + j3. (a) express zj and zz in polar form. (b) find lz1l by first ap
inna [77]

Solution:

Given: zj = 3- j2, zz = - 4 + j3

Part a:

zj = 3- j2 = 3.6e^{-j33.7^{\circ}}

zz = - 4 + j3 = 5e^{j143.1^{\circ}}

Part b:

|zj| = |3− j2| =  √3² +(−2)² = √13 = 3.60

|z1| =  √(3− j2)(3+ j2) = √ 13 = 3.60.

Part c:

With the help of part a:

z1z2 = 3.6e^{-j33.7^{\circ}}.5e^{j143.1^{\circ}}

If P(x)=x^2-1 and q(x)=5(x-1), which expression is equivalent to (p-q)(x)
zheka24 [161]
Okay so you do p(x) -q(x) and you get (x)^2-5x hope this helps. (Also hope that trigonometry I'm taking comes through lol)
