Answer:

0.9544

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean =  μ=57

Standard deviation σ=2

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

At x = 53

z=\frac{53-57}{2}

z=-2

Refer the z table

P(z<-2)=0.0228

At x = 61

z=\frac{61-57}{2}

z=2

Refer the z table

P(z<2)=0.9772

We are suppose to find the probability that the height of a randomly selected 5th grade boy will be between 53 inches and 61 inches.

P(53<x<61)=P(-2<z<2)=P(z<2)-P(z<-2) = 0.9772 - 0.0228=0.9544

Hence the probability that the height of a randomly selected 5th grade boy will be between 53 inches and 61 inches is 0.9544

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

12 male teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio is 3:4, and the number of female teachers is 16, then the number of male teachers must be 12. This can be confirmed by multiplying both 3 and 4 by 4, or 12/16 = 3/4.

The number of major faults on a randomly chosen 1 km stretch of highway has a Poisson distribution with mean 1.7. The random var
tiny-mole [99]
The probability can be modeled using the following formula:
P(X =3)
wherein X follows the density 
P(X=k)=\frac{1.7^ke^{-1.7}}{k!}
Now for k = 3 we get:
P(X=3)=\frac{1.7^3e^{-1.7}}{3!}=0.15
The probability we are looking for is 0.15.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 2,500 cm. Find the unknown side length. the other side is 750
sineoko [7]

Answer:

<h2>500 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question we have

2500 = 2l + 2(750) \\ 2500 = 2l + 1500 \\ 2l = 2500 - 1500 \\ 2l = 1000 \\  \frac{2l}{2}  =  \frac{1000}{2}  \\ l =  \frac{1000}{2}  \\  l = 500

We have the final answer as

<h3>500 cm</h3>

Hope this helps you
