Answer:
119.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Mean (m) = 100 years
Standard deviation (sd) = 15 years
closest to the age of a Galápagos Islands giant tortoise at the 90th percentile of the
distribution?
Obtain the Zscore for 90th percentile (0.90) on the z table = 1.28
Zscore = (X - mean) / standard deviation
1.28 = (X - 100) / 15
1.28 × 15 = X - 100
19.2 = X - 100
19.2 + 100 = X
X = 119.2
Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)
Answer: 17
Step by step : 146+2x=180
2x=34
X=17
