Given:
μ = 55 in, population mean
σ = 6 in, population standard deviation

Part (a)
x = 48 in, the random variable
Calculate the z-score.
z = (x - μ)/σ
   = (48 - 55)/6
   = -1.667
From standard table, obtain
P(X < 48) = 0.12167 

Answer: 0.1217  (tyo 4 dec.places)

Line m has the equation y = 1/2x - 4
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

  • As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is  

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation of the line m

y = 1/2x - 4

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y  = mx + b

Therefore,

The slope of line 'm' will be = 1/2

We know that parallel lines have the 'same slopes, thus the slope of the line 'n' must be also the same i.e. 1/2

Checking the equation of the line 'n'

x-2y=4

solving for y to writing the equation in the slope-intercept form and determining the slope

x-2y=4

Add -x to both sides.

x - 2y + (-x) = 4+(-x)

-2y = 4 - x

Divide both sides by -2

\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-x+4}{-2}

y=\frac{1}{2}x-2

comparing ith the slope-intercept form of the line equation

Thus, the slope of the line 'n' will be: 1/2

  • As the slopes of both lines 'm' and 'n' are the same.

Therefore, we conclude that the equation x-2y=4 represents the equation of the line 'n' if lines m and n are parallel to each other.

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. Thi
Dovator [93]

Complete question:

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby this mention is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the group consists of 36 couples.

A) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of girls in groups of 36 births.

B) Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low and significantly high.

C) Is the result of 33 girls significantly high? A result of 33 girls would suggest the method is effective or is not effective?

Answer:

a) mean = 18

Standard deviation =3

b) low range = 12

High range = 24

c) The result of 33 girls is significantly high. Yes, the method is effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

p = 0.5

n = 36

a) The mean is the product of n and p

Mean u = np

u = 36 * 0.5 = 18

The standard deviation is the square root of the product of n and p&q.

S.d ó = \sqrt{npq}

= \sqrt{np(1-p)}

= \sqrt{36(0.5)(1-0.5)} = \sqrt{9} = 3

b) To find the range rule of thumb:

• For low range

Low range = u - 2ó

= 18 - (2 * 3)

= 12

• High range

= u + 2ó

= 18 + (2*3)

= 24

c) The result is significantly high, because 33 is greater than 24 girls.

A result of 33 girls would prove the method as effective.
