Human heights are one of many biological random variables that can be modeled by the normal distribution. a 2002 study in the us

found the mean height for 19 year old males is 176.7 cm with a standard deviation of 9.9 cm. a basketball play is usually over 188 cm - what proportion of the 19 year old male population is greater than this height?

To answer this item, find first the z-score of the given data.

    z-score = (x - m) / d

where x is data point, m is the mean and d is the standard deviation

Substituting the given values,

    z-score = (188 - 176.7) / 9.9  = 1.14

This translates to a percentage of 87.29%. 

Because we are asked of the percentage of those with height greater than this, that would be,
     100 - 87.29% = 12.71%

Answer: 12.71%

Consider the incomplete paragraph proof.
Leya [2.2K]

The hypotenuse is c = a\sqrt{2}  times the length of each leg 'a'. Triangle XYZ is a isosceles right triangle, therefore the Pythagoras theorem becomes  and this can be evaluated by using properties of isosceles triangle.

According to the statement

we have given that a theorem and we have to prove it.

So, For this purpose,

The given information is :

Isosceles triangle XYZ where Angle X = 45^{0} Angle Y = 45^{0} Angle Z = 90^{0}

Let the sides of triangle XYZ be a, b, and c. Then side XY = c, YZ = b and ZX = a.

Now, it is given that triangle XYZ is isosceles triangle therefore, the shorter sides must be equal that is, a = b.

Now use Pythagoras theorem

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

But here a= b then the equation become

a^{2} + a^{2} = c^{2}

Then after solving it become

2a^{2} = c^{2}

And here we have to find the value of the hypotenuse,

so we solve it for c.

Then

c = a\sqrt{2}

From this it is clear that the

it can be concluded that the hypotenuse is  times the length of each leg 'a'.
