The height, in inches, of a randomly chosen American woman is a normal random variable with mean μ = 64 and variance 2 = 7.84. (

a) Calculate the probability that the height of a randomly chosen woman is between 59.8 and 68.2 inches. (b) Given that a randomly chosen woman is tall enough to be an astronaut (i.e., at least 59 inches tall), what is the conditional probability that she is at least 67 inches in height? (c) Four women are chosen at random. Calculate the probability that their total height is at least 260 inches. (d) Suppose that Z ∼ N(0, 1). Prove that E(Z19) = 0.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the height in  inches, of a randomly chosen American woman is a normal random variable with mean μ = 64 and variance 2 = 7.84.

X is N(64, 2.8)

Or Z = \frac{x-64}{2.8}

a)  the probability that the height of a randomly chosen woman is between 59.8 and 68.2 inches.

=P(59.8

b) P(X\geq 59)\\= P(X\geq -1.78)\\ \\=0.9625

c) For 4 women to be height 260 inches is equivalent to

4x will be normal with mean (64*4) and std dev (2.8*4)

4x is N(266, 11.2)

P(4x>260)= \\P(Z\geq -0.53571)\\=0.7054

d) Z is N(0,1)

E(Z19) = P(Z>19)\\= 0.000

since normal distribution is maximum only between 3 std deviations form the mean on either side.

How do you solve -3+r/3=-5
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

r=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Question: -3+r/3=-5

1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

-9+r=-15

2) Add 9 to both sides:

r=-6

Footnotes:

1) In step 1 when I multiplied both sides of the equation by 3, don't forget you also have to multiply -3 by 3 because it is not part of the fraction (which is how I got -9)

y=f(x) is odd (f(-x)=-f(x)) and f(x>0) = x^2-5x-12, x is not = to 0. What points does the line f(x)=12 go through.
solmaris [256]
<span>f(x<0)=-f(x>0)=-x^2+5x+12 When x>0, x^2-5x-12=12, x=8, y=12 Therefore, f(x)=12 goes through point (8,12).</span>

Write a rule in coordinate form for the translation from Triangle EFG to Triangle
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the coordinates of F and F'

F (- 3, 4 ) and F' (- 1, 3 )

To go from - 3 → - 1 in the x- directions , means adding 2

To go from 4 → 3 in the y- direction means subtracting 1

Then translation rule is

(x, y ) → (x + 2, y - 1 )
