Answer:

a. Z=0.8

b. 78.81%

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score for a woman measuring 'X' inches is given by:

Z=\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Where μ is the distribution mean and σ is the standard deviation.

Since each feet equals 12 inches, the woman's height is:

X= 5*12 +3 = 63 \ inches

a. The z-score is:

Z=\frac{63 - 61}{2.5}\\Z=0.8

b. The percentage of women she is taller than can be found by checking for the corresponding percentile in a z-score table. A z-score of 0.8 is equivalent to the 78.81-th percentile. Therefore, she is taller than 78.81% of women.

matt built a house with 164 blocks the main part of his house has 100 blocks the roof has 50 blocks the chimney has 14 blocks wr
Minchanka [31]

Given:

The total number of blocks  = 164

Number of blocks used  for the main part of the house = 100

Number of blocks used  for the roof of the house = 50

Number of blocks used  for the chimney of the house = 14

Solution:

The number of blocks used for the new house is also 164

Let the number of blocks used for the main part of the new house be x, roof be y, chimney be z

Then

x+y+z =164

110 + 34+20 = 164
