Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So \frac{72}{x+72} is the fraction of females in the force.

Thus, we can form the equation:

\frac{72}{x+72} = 0.24

x+72 = \frac{72}{0.24}

x = \frac{72}{0.24} -72

x = 228

Thus, the answer is 228 males.

For a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100, what is the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

475.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that for a normal distribution with μ=500 and σ=100. We are asked to find the minimum score that is necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution.

We will use z-score formula and normal distribution table to solve our given problem.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Top 60% means greater than 40%.

Let us find z-score corresponding to normal score to 40% or 0.40.

Using normal distribution table, we got a z-score of -0.25.

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula, we will get:

-0.25=\frac{x-500}{100}

-0.25*100=\frac{x-500}{100}*100

-25=x-500

-25+500=x-500+500

x=475

Therefore, the minimum score necessary to be in the top 60% of the distribution is 475.
