Answer:

(a) 0.5899

(b) 0.9166

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that represents the height of a woman. Then, X is normally distributed with  

\mu = 62.5 in

\sigma = 2.2 in

the normal probability density function is given by  

f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}2.2}\exp{-\frac{(x-62.5)^{2}}{2(2.2)^{2}}}, then

(a) P(X < 63) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{63}f(x) dx = 0.5899

   (in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2)

(b) We are seeking P(\bar{X} < 63) where n = 37. \bar{X} is normally distributed with mean 62.5 in and standard deviation 2.2/\sqrt{37}. So, the probability density function is given by

g(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\frac{2.2}{\sqrt{37}}}\exp{-\frac{(x-62.5)^{2}}{2(2.2/\sqrt{37})^{2}}}, and

P(\bar{X} < 63) = \int\limits_{-\infty}^{63}g(x)dx = 0.9166

(in the R statistical programming language) pnorm(63, mean = 62.5, sd = 2.2/sqrt(37))

You can use a table from a book to find the probabilities or a programming language like the R statistical programming language.

A manufacturer sells a product for $10 per unit. The manufacturer's variable costs are $5 per unit and the fixed cost is $1000.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

200 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The total income must be at least equal to the costs, and that is:

10*U = 5*U + 1000   Solving for U, which is the amount of units sold per month:

U = 1000/5 = 200 units.

In the diagram of O, m∠JOK = 60° and OJ = 6 in. What is the exact area of the shaded region?
Sophie [7]

Answer:   6π

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Area of a circle is π r².

Area of a section of a circle is π r² × the section of the circle.

A=\pi r^2\bigg(\dfrac{\theta}{360^o}\bigg)

Given: r = 6, Ф = 60°

A=\pi (6)^2\bigg(\dfrac{60^o}{360^o}\bigg)\\\\\\.\quad =\pi (6)^2\bigg(\dfrac{1}{6}\bigg)\\\\\\.\quad =6\pi
