Answer:

a) Z = 4.4

b) Z = 0.38

c) The woman is relatively taller.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

a) What is the z-score for a woman who is 6 feet tall? Please use 2 decimal places.

The heights of women aged 20 to 29 are approximately Normal with mean 61 inches and standard deviation 2.5 inches, which means that \mu = 61, \sigma = 2.5.

The mean and the standard deviation are in inches, so X is also must be in inches. Each feet has 12 inches. So X = 6*12 = 72 inches.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{72 - 61}{2.5}

Z = 4.4

(b) What is the z-score for a man who is 6 feet tall? Please use 2 decimal places.

Men the same age have mean height 71 inches with standard deviation 2.6 inches, which means that \mu = 71, \sigma = 2.6

The mean and the standard deviation are in inches, so X is also must be in inches. Each feet has 12 inches. So X = 6*12 = 72 inches.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{72 - 71}{2.6}

Z = 0.38

(c) Who is relatively taller?

The woman has the higher z-score, so she is relatively taller.

Solve the absolute value equation. 4|4x - 3| - 8 = -4​
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

x = 1,\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

4|4x-3|-8=-4\\

Add 8 to both sides;

4|4x - 3| = 4               4|4x - 3| = -4

Divide both sides by 4;

4x - 3 = 1                   4x - 3 = -1

Add 3 to both sides;

4x = 4                       4x = 2

Divide both sides by 4;

x = 1             x = \frac{1}{2}

A pair of shoes usually sells for $61. If the shoes are 40% off, and sales tax is 5%, what is the total price of the shoes, incl
lyudmila [28]
Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%

61*(60%) = 36.6

the tax is 5%

so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43
