One measure of general health is your body mass index (BMI). Adults with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 are generally considered to

have an ideal body weight for their height. The mean BMI for adults in a certain country is 24.5. Suppose the BMI for adults in this country is normally distributed with standard deviation 1.2. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) Suppose one adult from this country is selected at random. What is the probability that the person's BMI is more than 25.6?

Answer: 0.1797

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \mu=24.5\ \ ; \sigma=1.2

Let x be the random variable that represents BMI for adults in this country.

We assume that  BMI for adults in this country is normally distributed.

Then, z-score for x=25.6 ,\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{25.6-24.5}{1.2}\approx0.9167

Using z-value table , we have

The probability that the person's BMI is more than 25.6 :

P(x>25.6)=P(z>0.9167)=1-P(z\leq0.9167)\\\\=1- 0.8203413=0.1796587\approx0.1797

Hence, the probability that the person's BMI is more than 25.6 = 0.1797

Hence, the probability that the person's BMI is more than 25.6 = 0.1796

Hence, the  probability of the stick's weight being 2.23 oz or greater = 0.0174

What is the whole process of turning the limit into a definite integral? An example would be great!
juin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the (b − a) / n factor in the limit of the Riemann sum.  This is the Δx.

The next step is to identify the function and the argument, f(xᵢ).  The argument xᵢ looks like a + i (b − a) / n.

From there, you can write two equations:

Δx = (b − a) / n

xᵢ = a + i (b − a) / n = a + i Δx

Since you know xᵢ and Δx, you can identify a.  And when you know a, you can plug that into Δx to find b.  So now you have the limits of the definite integral.

Finally, write the integral using the limits and the function.

Here's an example.  Suppose you have the limit:

lim(n→∞) ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ √(1 + 3i/n) (3/n)

First, we notice that Δx = (b − a)/n = 3/n.  So b − a = 3.

Next, we identify that xᵢ = 1 + 3i/n = a + i (3/n), so a = 1.  Therefore, b = 4.

Now, we identify the function, f(xᵢ) = √xᵢ.

Finally, we plug it all into a definite integral:

∫₁⁴ √x dx

Firdaus measured the length of the wall and got 9 feet her cousin measured the same distance and said that it was three what uni
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Her cousin used Yard  to measure the wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firdaus measured the length of the wall and got 9 feet.

Her cousin measured the same distance and said that it was 3.

To find the answer, we have to use division.

Let "x" the divisor which divide 9 and gives the answer 3.

9 ÷ x = 3

3x = 9

To find x (divisor) we need to divide both sides by 3, we get

3x ÷ 3 = 9 ÷ 3

x = 3

So  1 unit cousin's measure = 3 feet Firdaus measure

We know that 1 yard = 3 feet.

Therefore, her cousin used Yard measure to measure the wall.

Given the graph of f(x), determine the range of f−1(x).
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The graph of f(x) has a horizontal asymptote at y = 3, so its range is the interval union (-∞, 3) U (3, ∞).

The domain of its inverse is the same as the range of f, so the fourth option is correct.
