Answer:

Probability that their mean height is less than 68 inches is 0.0764.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in the united states, the height of men are normally distributed with the mean 69 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.

Also, 16 men are randomly selected.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample mean height</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

              Z = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean height = 69 inches

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 2.8 inches

            n = sample of men = 16

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, probability that the mean height of 16 randomly selected men is less than 68 inches is given by = P(\bar X < 68 inches)

 P(\bar X < 68 inches) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{68-69}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{16} } } ) = P(Z < -1.43) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.43)

                                                           = 1 - 0.9236 = 0.0764

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z  x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.43 in the z table which has an area of 0.92364.</em>

Therefore, probability that their mean height is less than 68 inches is 0.0764.

Answer:

(14,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so first you need to use the "x=4y+10" in the first equation.

Rewrite as

3(4y+10) +11y=7

Distribute the 3(4y+10)

Rewrite as

12y+30

You'll have the equation

12y +30 +11y= 7

Subtract the 7 from both sides

12y+30+11y-7= 0

Combine like terms

23y+23=0

the best thing to do here is divide the equation by 23.

23/23 = 1

you'll have

y + 1 = 0

this simplifies to

y= -1

use this y value to solve for x

the easiest way to do this is start with the equation

x = 4y +10

Substitute the y for -1

x = -4(-1) +10

x = 4 +10

x = 14

the solution point is

(14,-1)

In which direction must the graph of f(x) = |x| be shifted to produce the graph of g(x) = |x + 4|?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Left on the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of the coefficient's amount of units is how much the graph will be moved.

Table comparisons

g(x)=|x+4|

x  1   -2   <u>-4</u>

y  5   2    <u>0</u>

Underlined is the x-int of the equation.

f(x)=|x|

x  1  <u>0</u>  -1  3

y  1  <u>0</u>   1  3

How does the diagram show that the slope between any
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The diagram shows that the triangles on the graph had similar ratios, as such their vertical heights to their horizontal are equivalent.

Option D is correct.

<h3>What is the slope of a graph?</h3>

The slope of a graph determines the steepness of the graph and it is the difference between two points on the y-coordinate(rise) and the difference between two points on the x-coordinate(run).

\mathbf{slope = \dfrac{rise}{run}}

\mathbf{slope = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}}

\mathbf{slope = \dfrac{ y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}

From the diagram attached, we can see that the triangles on the graph had similar ratios, as such their vertical heights(y-coordinates) to their horizontal (x-coordinates) are equivalent.
