A​ half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of​

today's women in their 20s are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.07 inches. If the mean height today is the same as that of a​ half-century ago, what percentage of all samples of 21 of​ today's women in their 20s have mean heights of at least 65.86 ​inches?

Answer:

99.5% of all samples of 21 of​ today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 ​inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20's was 64.7 inches. Assume that the heights of​ today's women in their 20's are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2.07 inches.

Also, a samples of 21 of​ today's women in their 20's have been taken.

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>Let </em></u>\bar X<u><em> = sample mean heights</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

                          Z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean height of women = 64.7 inches

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2.07 inches

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

Now, Probability that the sample of 21 of​ today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 ​inches is given by = P(\bar X \geq 65.86 inches)

  P(\bar X \geq 65.86 inches) = P( \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \geq \frac{65.86-64.7}{\frac{2.07}{\sqrt{21} } } ) = P(Z \geq -2.57) = P(Z \leq 2.57)

                                                                        = <u>0.99492  or  99.5%</u>

<em>The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.57 in the z table which has an area of 0.99492.</em>

<em />

Therefore, 99.5% of all samples of 21 of​ today's women in their 20's have mean heights of at least 65.86 ​inches.

Maxwell House Coffee contains 13% Columbian coffee beans by volume while
user100 [1]

<em>x</em> kg of Maxwell House coffee contains 0.13<em>x</em> kg of Columbian beans.

<em>y</em> kg of Folgers contains 0.21<em>y</em> kg of beans.

You want a mixture weighing 70 kg, so

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 70

You also want this blend to consist of 19% Columbian beans, or 0.19 (70 kg) = 13.3 kg, so

0.13<em>x</em> + 0.21<em>y</em> = 13.3

Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> :

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 70   ===>   <em>y</em> = 70 - <em>x</em>

0.13<em>x</em> + 0.21<em>y</em> = 13.3   ===>   0.13<em>x</em> + 0.21 (70 - <em>x</em>) = 13.3

0.13<em>x</em> + 14.7 - 0.21<em>x</em> = 13.3

14.7 - 13.3 = 0.21<em>x</em> - 0.13<em>x</em>

1.4 = 0.08<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 17.5

<em>y</em> = 52.5
