Answer:

Number of overweight citizens were 16.74 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a study it was concluded that out of 100 citizens 60 citizens were overweight.

If population was 279 million then we have to calculate overweight citizens.

We will apply unitary method in this question.

∵ Out of 100 citizens overweight citizens are = 60

∴ out of 1 citizens overweight were = \frac{60}{100}

∴ out of 279 millions overweight citizens were = [tex]\frac{60}{100}(279) = .06×279 = 16.74 million.

In a recent test, you scored 1.0 standard deviations above the average score attained, and the scores are normally distributed.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

97.75 %

Step-by-step explanation:

You score 1 standard deviation above the mean

a) we have from left tail up to the mean 50 % of all values

b) We have in the interval  [ μ  -  σ  ;  μ  +  σ ] 95.5 % of all possible values, if we divide that 95.5 by 2 we get 47.75 %,  the part of the values that correspond to the right, then in order to get the  % of students scored lower we add

50  +  47.75   = 97.75 %

So you can say that the porcentage of students that scored lower than you is 97.75 %
