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

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The number of fringes at d=-2 is given as 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

A Galapagos cactus finch population increases by half every decade. The number of finches is modeled by the expression

,

where d is the number of decades after the population was measured. Evaluate the expression for d = −2

Given :

The number of  finches is modeled by the expression  :

⇒ 45\cdot1.5^d

where d is the number of decades after the population was measured.

To evaluate the expression for d=-2

Solution:

In order to evaluate the given expression to find the number of finches at d=-2, we will plugin -2 for d in the expression and simplify it.

Plugging in d=-2 in the expression:

⇒ 45\cdot 1.5^{-2}

Using negative exponent property. [a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

⇒ 45\cdot \frac{1}{1.5^2}

⇒ 45\cdot \frac{1}{2.25}

⇒ 20   (Answer)

Thus, the number of fringes at d=-2 is given as 20.

This means the number of fringes two decades ago was 20.
