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%

I need an answer what is 1.03 ÷ (-10.3)=?
Sloan [31]
The answer is - \frac{1}{10}
To figure this out,  convert both numbers to fractions. 1.03 = 1\frac{3}{100} and (-10.3) = -10\frac{3}{10}. Now, convert to improper fractions. 
 1\frac{3}{100}  = [tex] \frac{103}{100}
-10\frac{3}{10} = - \frac{103}{10}
Now, divide. Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying by the reciporical. So:
-\frac{103}{10}  \ becomes\  \frac{10}{103}
\frac{103}{100} *- \frac{10}{103} =  -\frac{1030}{10300} = - \frac{1}{10}
