Answer:

Answer is 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the heights of adult men in America

X is Normal with mean =69.1 and std dev = 2.65 inches

Percentage of adult males who are under 5 ft 7inches

= height less than 67 inches (since 1 ft = 12 inches)

P(X<67)

=P(Z<\frac{67-69.1}{2.65} =-0.79

=P(Z<-0.79)

=0.5-0.2852

=0.2148

=21.48%

Hence 21% nearly of males in America are shorter than 5'7"

The solution for this problem is:It's given that the heights are normally distributed. 
5 feet 7 inches = (5*12 +7) inches = (60+7) inches = 67 inches. 
The z-score is (67 - 69.1)/(2.65) = -1.136. The probability is 0.127978 or 12.8%, making probability of a height over 67 inches

Find the interest generated if one invests $6000 for 9 years at 7% per annum with interest compounded monthly
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

principle= 6000

time =9 years

rate = 7%

so,

compound interest = p((1+r/100)^t. -1)

= 6000((1+0.07)^9 -1)

=6000(1.84-1)

=6000*0.84

=5040

(2, -4), (x, y) , A , and B all lie on the line. Find an equation relating x and y.​
frutty [35]

Answer:

An equation relating x and y is:

y = 3/4x - 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the points

(2, -4), (x, y), A(6, -1), and B(10, 2)

Taking any two points let say A(6, -1), and B(10, 2) to determine the slope

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(6,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(10,\:2\right)

m=\frac{2-\left(-1\right)}{10-6}

Refine

m=\frac{3}{4}

We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

From the graph, it is clear

at x = 0, y = -5.5

Thus, the y-intercept b = -5.5

Thus, substituting b = -5.5 and m = 3/4 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = 3/4x + (-5.5)

y = 3/4x - 5.5

Therefore, an equation relating x and y is:

y = 3/4x - 5.5

if a tree casts an 8 meter shadow, and the angle from the ground to the tree is 30 degrees, what is the approximate height of th
Virty [35]
Using SohCahToa, we can find the height of the tree. Let the tree height be h. 8m is adjacent to the 30° angle.
\tan(30)  =  \frac{h}{8}  \\ h = 8 \tan(30)  \\ h = 4.62
The answer is A) 4.6 m

Solve the system of equations algebraically. Verify your
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The solution is the point (0.5,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=4x-5 ----> equation A

y=-3 ----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Substitute equation B in equation A

-3=4x-5

Solve for x

Adds 5 both sides

-3+5=4x

2=4x

Divide by 4 both sides

x=0.5

therefore

The solution is the point (0.5,-3)

<em>Verify your  answer using the graph</em>

using a graphing tool

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is (0.5,-3)

therefore

The solution is the point (0.5,-3)

see the attached figure
