Answer:

Z = 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Find z such that 59% of the standard normal curve lies between −z and z.

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that this is:

From the 50 - (59/2) = 20.5th percentile

To the 50 + (59/2) = 79.5th percentile.

The 20.5th percentile is -Z and the 79.5th percentile is Z.

79.5th percentile

Z with a pvalue of 0.795.

Looking at the z-table, it is Z = 0.824.

Rounding to two decial places, the answer is Z = 0.82.

What is the domain and range of <br> f(x)=2x^2+6x+2
lbvjy [14]

As is the case for any polynomial, the domain of this one is (-infinity,  +infinity).

To find the range, we need to determine the minimum value that f(x) can have.  The coefficients here are a=2, b=6 and c = 2,

The x-coordinate of the vertex is  x = -b/(2a), which here is x = -6/4 = -3/2.

Evaluate the function at x = 3/2 to find the y-coordinate of the vertex, which is also the smallest value the function can take on.  That happens to be y = -5/2, so the range is [-5/2, infinity).

1. At the gym on Monday, Larry is told to up his weight on the bench-press by 15% from last week. Last week he was bench-pressin
QveST [7]

Answer:

300 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Larry bench pressed 200 lbs last week, and that he is supposed to increase by 15%. We know that any number times one is that same numbers. That means a number that is increaseing has to be greater than 1. So, we have to convert 15% into a decimal. That is 0.15. That plus one is 1.15. Now we just have to multiply 1.15 with 200. We get 300.
