Answer:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got;

10 +1.64*1=11.64

So the value of height that separates the bottom 95% of data from the top 5% is 11.64  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent certain lifetime of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(10,1)  

Where \mu=10 and \sigma=1

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.05   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64. On this case P(Z<1.64)=0.95 and P(z>1.64)=0.05

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got;

10 +1.64*1=11.64

So the value of height that separates the bottom 95% of data from the top 5% is 11.64

Lady_Fox [76]

Null hypothesis: p = 0.81

Alternative hypothesis: p \ne 0.81

The null is based on a recent study that 81% of the population (in this case senior citizens) takes at least one medication. The alternative hypothesis is basically the flip of the claim made in the null.

If Amelia wanted to know if the percentage was less than 81%, then the alternative would be p < 0.81

If Amelia wanted to know if the percentage was larger than 81%, then the alternative would be p > 0.81

However, she wants to know if the percentage is 81%.

Answer:

Yes, the total cost of Lacey lesson is a split function of hours scheduled

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount Lacey pays for each hour of golf = $15

The amount Lacey pays for equipment rental = $10

The amount Lacy pays for equipment rental for a 3 hours long lesson = $5

Therefore, we have

Let C represent the total cost of Lacey lesson and let t represent the number of hours, we have;

C = $10 + t × $15 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3

C = $5 + t × $15 for t > 3

Therefore, the total cost of Lacey lesson is a split function of hours scheduled
