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%

What are the answers
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Given any straight line and a point not on it, there "exists one and only one straight line which passes" through that point and never intersects the first line, no matter how far they are extended. This statement is equivalent to the fifth of Euclid's postulates, which Euclid himself avoided using until proposition 29 in the Elements. For centuries, many mathematicians believed that this statement was not a true postulate, but rather a theorem which could be derived from the first four of Euclid's postulates. (That part of geometry which could be derived using only postulates 1-4 came to be known as absolute geometry.)

Also draw the line straight line them up. To me it would be best if you use a ruler.

The edge of each cube used to build this rectangular prism is 13 inch long. Which equation shows the volume of the prism, in cub
Vikki [24]
Dont see any answer choices... but Volume= L*W*H 

A cube, the sides are equal. So 13^3 or 13*13*13 = the volume of the cube. Then work your way to the rectangular prism.

Which of these is an example of continuous random variable?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

B. weight of a bag of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

A continuous random variable is a variable that is measured not counted. It can be any number between integers in decimal form.

So from the options given above, only the weight of bag of apples is a continuous variable as it will be measured.

While the others cannot be expressed in the form of decimals.

So the correct answer is:

B. weight of a bag of apples ..

What is the value of the 1 in 178
Igoryamba
The value of 1 in 178 is 100 since it is in the hundreds place.  The value of 7 in 178 is 70 and the value of 8 in 178 is 8.  The hundreds place carries numbers from 1 to 9.  Once you get to 10, you add a digit to the number such that you now have four total numbers and the first digit is in the thousands place.
