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.

For which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions? Px-37=Qx-37
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The equation has infinitely many solutions for any value of P and Q such that P=Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

Px - 37 = Qx - 37

Px - Qx - 37 = -37

x (P-Q) = 0

==> P-Q=0 ==> P=Q

The perimeter of a rectangle swimming pool is 160 feet. The length of the swimming pool is four times its width . Find the dimen
Helga [31]
Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
<span>So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.</span>
<span>160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>

Find the discriminant of the equation. x2 + 3x - 4 = 0
ivann1987 [24]

Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0

Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.

The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).

Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:

(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)

Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.

The discriminant is 25.

-3 plus or minus √25

Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------

2

-3 plus or minus 5

or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)
