Answer:

z=1.04

And if we solve for a we got

a=24.6 +1.04*0.64=25.27

So the value of height that separates the bottom 85% of data from the top 15% is 25.27.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the finishing time of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(24.6,0.64)  

Where \mu=24.6 and \sigma=0.64

Solution to the problem

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.15   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.85 of the area on the left and 0.15 of the area on the right it's z=1.04. On this case P(Z<1.04)=0.85 and P(z>1.04)=0.15

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=1.04

And if we solve for a we got

a=24.6 +1.04*0.64=25.27

So the value of height that separates the bottom 85% of data from the top 15% is 25.27.

∠R and ∠S are complementary. If m∠R = (2x+7) and m∠S = (4x - 13), find m∠R
____ [38]

Answer:

m∠R = 39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

As complementary angles add up to 90 degrees, we can set up an equation to get x then find the measure of ∠R:

m∠R + m∠S = 90

2x+7+4x-13=90

6x+7-13=90

6x-6=90

6x=96

x=16

Since m∠R = (2x+7), 2x+7 would be 2(16)+7 or 39 degrees. So in conclusion, m∠R = 39 degrees
