Answer:

a) 20.33% probability that the participant is less than 64.5 inches.

b) 33.72% probability that the participant is more than 68.25 inches

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 = 67, \sigma = 3

a.) Find the probability that the participant is less than 64.5 inches?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 64.5.

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

Z = \frac{64.5 - 67}{3}

Z = -0.83

Z = -0.83 has a pvalue of 0.2033

20.33% probability that the participant is less than 64.5 inches.

b.) Find the probability that the participant is more than 68.25 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 68.25.

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

Z = \frac{68.25 - 67}{3}

Z = 0.42

Z = 0.42 has a pvalue of 0.6628

1 - 0.6628 = 0.3372

33.72% probability that the participant is more than 68.25 inches

The Haynes family is building an addition to their house that includes a new
elixir [45]

Answer:

<u>Part A</u>

 A_{t}=22(12+w)

Applying Distributive property: A_{t}=264+22w

<u>Part B</u>

A_{t}=660\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u> Attached is the model that belongs to this exercise (The model was missing)</u></em>

The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:

A=lw

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

<u>Part A</u>

Notice that the dimensions of the new bathroom are:

l=22\ ft\\w=12\ ft

We do not know the width of the new bathroom, but we know that both rooms will have the same length. Knowing this, we can write an expression for the total area of both rooms by using the Distributive Property:

A_{t}=22(12+w)

Applying Distributive property:

 A_{t}=264+22w

<u>Part B</u>

If the width of the bedroom is 18 feet, you need to substitute this value into the expression A_{t}=264+22w in order to find the total square footage of the two rooms:

A_{t}=264+22w\\\\A_{t}=660\ ft^2
