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%

Answer:

9.3 x 8.5 = 79.05

7.6 x 2.4 = 18.24

an easier way to multiply decimals is to take away decimals and add later

example: 9.<u>3</u>x8.<u>5</u> > 93x85 = 7905 since there are two places behind the decimal add that many to the solution 7905 > 79.05

A geologist visits 40 volcanoes in Alaska and California. 15% of the volcanoes are in California.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

<h2>Most explained:</h2>

40% = 100%

15 = (100% - 15% = 85%) 85% in Alaska

California = 15% of 40 = (0.15 x 40) = 6

Alaska = 85% of 40 = (0.85 x 40) = 34

<h2>The simple way (or the way i found it simple):</h2>

<h3>40 - 15 = 34</h3><h3>15% of 40 = 6</h3>

<h3>(I found the simple way after i solve the first way)</h3>

Bye, i hope this helps.
