The air force reports that the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a

standard deviation of 2.7 inches. Part A: A male pilot whose height is 74.2 inches is at what percentile? Explain your reasoning and justify your work mathematically. (5 points)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X -  the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches.

Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches

We have to find the percentile

X = 74.2

Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6

P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%

i.e. only 5% are below him in height.

Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.

I need help with exercises 3,4, and 6 please show all work and don’t answer number 5 just tell me if it is correct

3. 
The area of a triangle can be given by (just plug and chug as always):
A_t = \frac{1}{2} bh = \frac{1}{2}(3)(4) = 6ft^2
The area of the triangle is 6ft².

4. I will divide into a triangle and a rectangle (because the actual equation for the area of a pentagon requires it to be a perfect pentagon). Let's do the triangle first (height is 3 because you subtract 12 from 15):
A_t = \frac{1}{2} bh = \frac{1}{2}(8)(3) = 12m^2
A_r = bh = 12(8) = 96m^2
Now we just add them:
96+12 = 108m^2

So, the area of that pentagon is 108m².

5. You are actually wrong on this one because the area of a triangle is:
A_t = \frac{1}{2}bh
So, just halve your answer and it will be correct.

6. We can just split it into 4 triangles of equal area and then multiply the area of 1 triangle by 4 to get the total area. Let's do just that:
A_t = \frac{1}{2}bh = \frac{1}{2}(2.5)(5) = 6.25cm^2
Multiply by 4 to get total area:
6.25*4 = 25cm^2

So, the area of the given rhombus is 25cm².

Solve the system using the method of your choice: y = 2x – 2
Masteriza [31]
Y = 2x - 2

x + 3y = 15

I'll do substitution by solving for y:

y = 2x - 2

Solve for y for the second equation:

y = 5 - x/3

Substitute:

2x - 2 = 5 - x/3

Add x/3 to both sides:

7x/3 - 2 = 5

Add 2:

7x/3 = 7

Multiply by 3:

7x = 21

Divide by 7:

x = 3

Substitute x in for one of the original equations:

y = 2(3) - 2

y = 6 - 2

y = 4

The solution set is (3, 4).
