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.

How long will it take to fill the pool if two hoses are used, one that fills at a rate of 40 gallons per hour and one that fills
jok3333 [9.3K]
One data is missing. You need the volume of the pool or some data that permit you to calculate this volume.

The same statement given by you is part of a problem where you know a series of data that shows the time required to fill the pool at different flow rates:

flow rate              time
60 gal/h               300 h => 60 gal/h * 300 h = 18,000 gal
45 gal/h               400 h => 45 gal/h * 400 h = 18,000 gal
36 gal/h               500 h => 36 gal/h * 500 h = 18,000 gal
30 gal/h               600 h => 30 gal/h * 600 h = 18,000 gal


So for, this pool to calculated (several times) that the volume is 18,000 gal.

Now you have two hoses one with a flow rate of 40 gal / h and the other with a  flow rate of 60 gal/h.

The total flow rate is the sum of the two flow rates"

total flow rate = 40 gal/h + 60 gal/h = 100 gal/h

And you just must divide the volume of the pool (18,000 gal) by the total flow rate (100 gal/h) to get the time to fill the pool:

time = volume / flow rate = 18,000 gal / 100 gal/h = 180 h.

Answer: 180h

Y-1/4x=-1 <br> y-2=4x <br> one solution, no solution or infinite solution?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, let's simplify the equations to slope-intercept form

y - 1/4x = =1

  +1/4x     +1/4x

y           = 1/4x - 1

y - 2 = 4x

  +2          +2

y       = 4x + 2

As you can see, the equations do not have anything in common worth mentioning. The slopes are different and the y-intercepts are different, so there must be only one solution.

Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments! :D

In the figure below an you can see the pic plis help
Anni [7]

The measure of angle 1 and 2 should add up to 180°, because it forms a straight line. The same goes for the sum of angle 3 and 4.

Since we are given the measure of angle 2, we can find the measure of angle 1 by subtracting 143° from 180°.

180°-143° = 37°

We know that the intersecting lines form 2 sets of vertical angles, which are congruent. This means that the angles opposite from each other have the same measure. Therefore, both angle 2 & 4 have a measure of 143°, while angle 1 & 3 have a measure of 37°.

Can anyone help me solve all of this? Please help
disa [49]
They are all pretty easy all you do is multiply the cost by the amount of things you buy. For example number 4 your variables are cost (c) and songs (s). Your equation is c•s so $0.99 • s. 50 songs would be .99 • 50 which is $49.50
