Answer:

B) 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to standardize 58 and 66 inches using the following equation:

z=\frac{x-m}{s}

Where m is the mean and s is the standard deviation, so 58 and 66 are equivalent to:

z=\frac{58-70}{4}=-3\\z=\frac{66-70}{4}=-1\\

Then, the percent of men whose heights falls between 58 inches and 66 inches is calculated as:

P(58<z<66) = P(-3<z<-1)

So, using the normal table, we get:

P(-3<z<-1) = P(z<-1) - P(z<-3)

P(-3<z<-1) = 0.1587 - 0.0013

P(-3<z<-1) = 0.1574

Finally, 0.1574 rounded to the nearest whole percent is equal to 16%

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem. For those of you that don't know, it is a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\.  

11 is the bigger side in this case, so our formula would go like this: 5^2 + 6^2 = 11^2\\.

We now calculate to see if this is true.

25 + 36 \neq 121

Therefore, the answer is wrong.
