Answer: the interval of heights that represents the middle 95% of male heights from this school is between 66 inches and 76 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the heights of males from this school. With the mean and standard deviation given, then the Empirical Rule says the that

1) About 68% of the x values lie between 1 standard deviation below and above the mean.

2) About 95% of the x values lie between 2 standard deviations below and above the mean.

3) About 99.7% of the x values lie between 3 standard deviations below and above the mean.

From the information given,

mean = 71 inches

Standard deviation = 2.5 inches

We want to determine where 95% of x values lies. This is 2 standard deviations from the mean Therefore,

2 standard deviations = 2 × 2.5 = 5 inches

The heights are

71 - 5 = 66 inches and

71 + 5 = 76 inches

What is the domain and range of each function graohed below?
andriy [413]
Domain is the x values you can use
range is the y values



a.
the domain
hmm, seems to be all real numbers except for at x=0, it gets really close tho
so D=(-∞,0)U(0,∞)

range is all real numbers except for y=0, it gets really close tho
R=(-∞,0)U(0,∞)



b.
domain
that empty circle means something like < or >
goes from 5 to 6, not including 5
so domain is D=(5,6]

range is from -4 to 2, not including -4
range is R=(-4,2]

Multiply: (3x - 5)(-x + 4)
insens350 [35]

Answer:

-3x²+17x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

When you apply the distributive property (which you did correctly), you simply multiply each number or variable in which you have to distribute it to (which again you wrote correctly) and then you add them all together.

(3x)(-x)=-3x²

+

(3x)(4)=12x

+

(-5)(-x)=5x

+

(-5)(4)=-20

Add those and you will get your answer. Hope this helped :)
