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.

A polygon has vertices whose coordinates are A(1, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -4), and D(-4, 1). Use the midpoint formula to determine w
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The diagonals of the polygon ABCD bisect each other

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of the polygon are;

A(1, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -4), and D(-4, 1)

Given that the vertices of the polygon in clockwise order from the top left corner are ABCD, we have the diagonals as AC and DB

By the midpoint formula, we have;

(x_m , \ y_m) = \left (\dfrac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \ \dfrac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right )

Where;

(x_m , \ y_m) = The midpoint coordinates

Therefore, the midpoint of diagonal AC = \left (\dfrac{1 + (-1)}{2} , \ \dfrac{4 + (-4)}{2} \right ) = (0, 0)

The midpoint  of diagonal DB = \left (\dfrac{(-4) +4}{2} , \ \dfrac{1 + (-1)}{2} \right ) = (0, 0)

Therefore, given that the coordinates of the location of the midpoint of the diagonals AC and DB is the same, the diagonals bisect each other

Each diagonal passes through the midpoint of the other diagonal.

Hey guys, I need help with this word problem. I don't just want the answer. I would like the steps please!
ASHA 777 [7]
So, you take the equation for y given, y=0.28x+5.92. Then you substitute the values for x in, like so: 
y=0.28(2)+5.92=6.42
y=0.28(5)+5.92=7.17
y=0.28(8)+5.92=7.92
So There's your table. Next:
7.88=0.28x+5.92
x=7, so the year when admission was approximately $7.88 is year 7. 
Next, 
10.04=0.28x+5.92
x=<span>14.7142857143, which rounds to year 15. 
I hope this helps!</span>

Hello!

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, let's find the y-intercept. This is where the line hits the y-axis. Therefore, it hits at 4 on the y-axis, so our y-intercept is 4.

To find the slope, let's find 2 points on our line. Let's use (0,4) and (2,5). We divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values as shown below.

\frac{5-1}{2-0} =\frac{4}{2} =2

Therefore, our slope is 2.

Now we plug these values into our equation.

y=2x+4

I hope this helps!
