The heights of adult men in America are normally distributed, with a mean of 69.3 inches and a standard deviation of 2.64 inches

. The heights of adult women in America are also normally distributed, but with a mean of 64.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.53 inches. a) If a man is 6 feet 3 inches tall, what is his z-score (to two decimal places)? z = 2.16 b) What percentage of men are SHORTER than 6 feet 3 inches? Round to nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer:

z-score is 2.16

98.46% of men are SHORTER than 6 feet 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of adult men in America are normally distributed, with a mean of 69.3 inches and a standard deviation of 2.64 inches.

Mean = $\mu = 69.3 inches$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 2.64 inches$

a) If a man is 6 feet 3 inches tall, what is his z-score (to two decimal places)

x = 6 feet 3 inches

1 feet =12 inches

6 feet = 12*6 = 72 inches

So, x = 6 feet 3 inches = 72+3=75 inches

Formula : $Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$Z=\frac{75-69.3}{2.64}$

$Z=2.159$

So, his z-score is 2.16

No to find percentage of men are SHORTER than 6 feet 3 inches

We are supposed to find P(x< 6 feet 3 inches)

z-score is 2.16

Refer the z table

P(x< 6 feet 3 inches) =0.9846

So, 98.46% of men are SHORTER than 6 feet 3 inches

ipn [44]

Answer:

0.1197 = 11.97% probability that exactly 10 of the 12 individuals favor building the health center

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

66% of the community favored building a health center in their neighborhood.

This means that $p = 0.66$

12 citizens

This means that $n = 12$

What is the probability that exactly 10 of the 12 individuals favor building the health center?

This is P(X = 10).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.66)^{10}.(0.34)^{2} = 0.1197$

0.1197 = 11.97% probability that exactly 10 of the 12 individuals favor building the health center

If f(x) = 1 - x and g(x) = 1-X, which is the rule of function (f-g)(x)?

lidiya [134]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 1 - x

g(x) = 1-X

f(x) - g(x) = 1-x - (1-x)

Distribute

=1-x-1 +x
