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.

Can someone help meee please

Answer:

Equation → 5y = 3y + 6

Value of ST = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

In right triangles ΔVST and ΔVUT,

Acute angles ∠SVT ≅ ∠UVT [Given]

TV ≅ TV [By reflexive property of congruence]

ΔVST ≅ ΔVUT [Hypotenuse angle congruence of right triangles]

Therefore, corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.

Therefore, ST ≅ TU

5y = 3y + 6

5y - 3y = 6

2y = 6

y = 3

Therefore, ST = 5y

ST = 5(3)

     = 15

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point that has the given slope.
valkas [14]

Answer:

y=mx+b is the formula. So -8=-3x+5 would be the answer..

since (x,y) just substitute these numbers you have it into the formulas... Take y from (5,-8) and place it into y=mx+b. Next take the slope which is -3. And then since its a postive number we <em>add</em> are x from (x,y). -8=-3x+5. We also add x next to the slope (-3) becuase we are trying to solve for x. And we <em>always</em> put it next to the slope. Hope this helps!

The quantity demanded x for a product is inversely proportional to the cube of the price p for p &gt; 1. When the price is $10 p
LenaWriter [7]
Q(p) = k/p^3 . . . . . . . . we want to find k
q(10) = k/10^3 = 64
k = 64,000

Revenue = q(p)*p = 64000/p^2
Cost = 150 +2q = 150 +2*64000/p^3

Profit = Revenue -Cost = 64000/p^2(1 -2/p) -150

Differentiating to find the maximum profit, we have
.. dProfit/dp = -2(64000/p^3) +6(64000/p^4) = 0
.. -1 +3/p = 0
.. p = 3

A price of $3 per unit will yield a maximum profit.
