Answer:

12.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we use the trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse

θ = 42°

Hypotenuse = 19 foot ladder

Opposite side = Distance of the cat from the ground(height of the tree)= unknown

sin 42° = Opposite/19 feet

Opposite = sin 42° × 19

Opposite = 12.713481521 feet

Approximately to the nearest tenth of a foot = 12.7 feet.

Therefore, the cat was 12.7 feet above the ground.

Engineers want to design passenger seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95 percent of adult men. Ass
zimovet [89]

Answer:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

X \sim N(14.4,1.1)  

Where \mu=14.4 and \sigma=1.1

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)

We can find a quantile in the normal standard distribution who accumulates 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64

Using this value we can set up the following equation:

P(X  

P(z

And we have:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=14.4 +1.64*1.1=16.204

The 95th percentile of the hip breadth of adult men is 16.2 inches.
