Let x be a random variable representing the heights of adult American men. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - mean)/Standard deviation

From the information given,

mean = 68

standard deviation = 2.5

The probability that the height of a selected adult is between 63 and 73 is expressed as

$P(68\leq x\leq73)$

For x = 63,

z = (63 - 68)/2.5 = -2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

For x = 73,

z = (73 - 68)/2.5 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.97725

Therefore,

$P(68\text{ }\leq x\leq73)\text{ = 0.97725 - 0.0}2275\text{ = 0}.9545$

Thus, the percentage of men are between 63 and 73 is

0.9545 * 100 = 95.45%

Rounding up to the nearest percentage, the answer is 95%

A document that is 35 in. By 40 in. Is redrawn at 1 1/2 scale and then redrawn at 1/4 scale. What are the final dimensions of th

Andru [333]

The dimension of the document is 35 inches by 40 inches.
It is redrawn at a scale of 1 1/2 or 3/2 or 1.5
The dimension will be:
35 * 1.5 = 52.5 in
40 * 1.5 = 60 in

Then redrawn again at 1/4 or 0.25
52.5 * 0.25 = 13.125 in
60 * 0.25 = 15 in

So the final dimensions of the drawing is 13.125 in by 15 in
