Data from the article "The Osteological Paradox: Problems inferring Prehistoric Health from Skeletal Samples" (Current Anthropol

ogy (1992):343-370) suggests that a reasonable model for the distribution of heights of 5-year old children (in centimeters) is N(100, 62) . Let the letter X represent the variable "height of 5-year old", and use this information to answer the following. Use 4 decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
(a) P(X > 89.2) =
(b) P(X < 109.78) =
(c) P(97 < X < 106) =
(d) P(X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) =
(e) P(X > 103) =
(f) P(X < 98.2) =
(g) P(100 < X < 124)=
(h) The middle 80% of all heights of 5 year old children fall between and . (Use 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) P (X < 109.78) = 0.9484.

(b) P (X < 109.78) = 0.9484.

(c) P (97 < X < 106) = 0.5328.

(d) P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) = 0.0369.

(e) P (X > 103) = 0.3085.

(f) P (X < 98.2) = 0.3821.

(g) P (100 < X < 124) = 0.5000.

(h) The middle 80% of all heights of 5 year old children fall between 92.31 and 107.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 100 and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 6.

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 89.2) as follows:

P (X>89.2)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{89.2-100}{6})\\=P(Z>-1.80)\\=P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 89.2) is 0.9641.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X < 109.78) as follows:

P (X

Thus, the value of P (X < 109.78) is 0.9484.

(c)

Compute the value of P (97 < X < 106) as follows;

P (97 < X < 106) = P (X < 106) - P (X < 97)

                          =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Thus, the value of P (97 < X < 106) is 0.5328.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) as follows;

P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) = P (X < 85.6) + P (X > 111.4)

                                       =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\frac{111.4-100}{6})\\=P(Z1.9)\\=0.0082+0.0287\\=0.0369

Thus, the value of P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) is 0.0369.

(e)

Compute the value of P (X > 103) as follows:

P (X>103)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{103-100}{6})\\=P(Z>0.50)\\=14-P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 103) is 0.3085.

(f)

Compute the value of P (X < 98.2) as follows:

P (X

Thus, the value of P (X < 98.2) is 0.3821.

(g)

Compute the value of P (100 < X < 124) as follows;

P (100< X < 124) = P (X < 124) - P (X < 100)

                          =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Thus, the value of P (100 < X < 124) is 0.5000.

(h)

Compute the value of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ as follows if P (<em>x</em>₁ < X < <em>x</em>₂) = 0.80 as follows:

P(X_{1}

The value of <em>z</em> is ± 1.282.

The value of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ are:

-z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma} \\-1.282=\frac{x_{1}-100}{6}\\x_{1}=100-(6\times1.282)\\=92.308\\\approx92.31       z=\frac{x_{2}-\mu}{\sigma} \\1.282=\frac{x_{2}-100}{6}\\x_{2}=100+(6\times1.282)\\=107.692\\\approx107.70

Thus, the middle 80% of all heights of 5 year old children fall between 92.31 and 107.70.

Answer:

Point C: (4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelograms are quadrilaterals with two pairs of parallel sides, this means they will have the same slope between two line segments.

point slope form between two points:  y - y1 = m (x - x1)

point A (2, 6) and D (4,4):

slope: point form, 6 - 4 = m(2 - 4)

2 = -2m

m (slope)  = \frac {2}{-2} = \frac {Change in X position}{ Change in Y position}

now that you know the change in position, apply this to vertice B to get the position of the final vertice.

B(2, 2)

C (2 +2, 2-2) = C(4, 0)

The final position of C vertice for parrallelogram A(2,6), B(2,2), D(4,4) will be C(4,0)

Help please because I'm really bad at math and I don't know how do do this
svetoff [14.1K]
Best way to convert measurements in the standard measurement system is to use the phrase "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocalote Milk"

K- Kilo
H- Hecto
D- Deca
B- Base (meter, liter, gram)
D- Deci
C- Centi
M- Milli

If you go up from the B, you move the decimal left, if you go down from the B, you move the decimal that many times to the right.

The picture will probably help explain better.

3) 10,640 g
5) idk which it needs to be converted to
7) 3,700 mg
