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 company sells fruit smoothies in two sizes: 6 ounces and 20 ounces. You know that a 6-ounce bottle contains 96 milligrams of s
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

320 milligrams of sodium

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the milligrams of sodium a 20 ounce bottle has:

\frac{96}{6} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiply and solve for x

1920 = 6x

320 = x

So, a 20 ounce bottle will have 320 milligrams of sodium

Select the point that satisfies
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

A. (5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Plug in (5,5) for the x and y values according to the ordered pair. In this case the equation should turn out like this :5 ≤ 5²- 4(5) + 2
  • Simplify the equation : 5 ≤ 25 - 20 + 2
  • 5 ≤ 7
  • A is the answer because it satisfies the inequality as 5 is less than or equal to seven. Though, in this case it is just less than, but not equal to.
