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.

You earn $15 per hour to babysit. After babysitting for 3 hours, you will earn $50. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to
Paha777 [63]

The equation  in slope-intercept form to represent the relationship between hours worked (x) and earnings in dollars (y) is y = $5 + $15x.

An equation in slope intercept form is usually written as: y = mx + b

Where:

  • m = slope
  • b = intercept

If I earn $15 per hour when  I babysit,  the amount I earn increases by $15 every hour. $15 is the slope of the equation. After 3 hours, the total amount I would earn is: $15 x 5 = $45.

In order to determine the intercept, subtract $45 from $50.

$50 - $45 = $5.
