Suppose that the weights of passengers on a flight to Greenland on Frigid Aire Lines are normal with mean 175 pounds and standar

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 175, \sigma = 22$

What is the minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers?

90th percentile

The 90th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 175}{22}$

$X - 175 = 22*1.28$

$X = 203.16$

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

if the local rate for electrical service is 6cents per kilowatt-hour how much money would be saved in a year by using a dishwash

dezoksy [38]

Given:

The local rate for electrical service is 6 cents per kilowatt-hour.

We need to know how much money would be saved in a year by using a dishwasher 4times per week rather than 6 times per week

From the table:

The cost of using a dishwasher 4 times per week = $29

The cost of using a dishwasher 6 times per week = $44

So, the saving will be = 44 - 29 = 15

So, the answer will be $15

How can you tell if a function is quadratic?

Paha777 [63]

There are several ways, but the general format follows f(x) = ax2 + bx + c f(x) = ax² + bx + c, where A, B, and C are non-zero numbers. Another way of finding a quadratic equation is examining the graph of it, you'll notice a "U" shape called a parabola, which come in many shapes but they all retain a "U"-like curve.
