Engineers want to design passenger seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95 percent of adult men. Ass

ume that adult men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 inches and a standard deviation of 1.1 inches. Find the 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men. Round your answer to one decimal place; add a trailing zero as needed. The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is [HipBreadth] inches.

Answer:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the hips breadths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14.4,1.1)  

Where \mu=14.4 and \sigma=1.1

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.05   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can find a quantile in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64

Using this value we can set up the following equation:

P(X  

P(z

And we have:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

stepan [7]

Answer:

Numbers of students at a primary school before= 240

Number of increased students =42

Again,

Increased number of students in percent(%)= 42/240×100%= 17.5%

Therefore 17.5% students are increased this year.

How do you determine whether a system of linear equations has no solutions, one solution, or infinitely many solutions?
Charra [1.4K]
The answer to this is

<span> If the lines are the same, the equations are dependent linear equations. Using the graph of y = x and x + 2y = 6, shown below, determine how many solutions the system has. Then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent and the equations as dependent or independent. The lines intersect at one point.</span>


Hope This Helps!
