Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95​% of all males.​ (Accommodating 100

% of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​ expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.2 in. and a standard deviation of 0.9 in. Find Upper P 95. That​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 95​% from the largest 5​%.

Answer:

The answer is 15.68 in

Explanation:

X~N(μ=14.2; σ=0.9)

P(X\leq a)=0.95

I want to find "a", so:

P(0\leq X\leq a)=P(\frac{0-\mu}{\sigma} \leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{a-\mu}{\sigma}), Z= \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Z~N(0; 1)

P(0\leq X\leq a)=P(\frac{0-14.2}{0.9} \leq Z}\leq \frac{a-14.2}{0.9})=\phi(\frac{a-14.2}{0.9})-\phi(-15.78)=0.95

Φ(-15.78)≅0

\phi(\frac{a-14.2}{0.9})=0.95

Based on the Standard Normal table

\phi(Z_{a} )=0.95 if Z_{a}=1.64485

(a-14.2)/0.9=1.64485, then a=15.68

A rocket travels 1.3 km in 62 ms. What is its average speed in m⋅s−1? Do not give your answer in scientific notation. The answer
hjlf

Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

Speed = \frac {distance}{time}

Speed = \frac {1300}{3720}

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

A 7.5 cm object is 14 cm from a concave lens, which has a focal length of –7 cm. Its image is 5 cm in front of the lens. What is
Rama09 [41]
Given conditions:
height of object = 7.5cmdistance of object from mirror  = 14 cmfocus length = -7 cmimage distance =  ?
Using mirror formula: 
1/(focus length) = 1/(object distance) + 1/(image distance)
or, -1/7 = 1/14 + 1/(image distance)
or, image distance = -4.66cm (the image formed is a virtual image)


Also, magnification of image is:
image height /height of object = - image distance /object distance
or, image height = - image distance / object distance * height of object
or, image height = -(-4.66) / 14 * 7.5 = 2.49 = 3(nearest whole number)
