In a randomly selected sample of 1169 men ages 35–44, the mean total cholesterol level was 210 milligrams per deciliter with a s

tandard deviation of 38.6 milligrams per deciliter. Assume the total cholesterol levels are normally distributed. Find the highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10%.

Answer:

The highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10% is 160.59 milligrams per deciliter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 210, \sigma = 38.6

Find the highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10%.

This is the 10th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.1. So X when Z = -1.28.

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

-1.28 = \frac{X - 210}{38.6}

X - 210 = -1.28*38.6

X = 160.59

The highest total cholesterol level a man in this 35–44 age group can have and be in the lowest 10% is 160.59 milligrams per deciliter.

Based on the polynomial reminder theorem, what is the value of the function when x= -5
densk [106]

Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a polynomial in x

F (x)= x^4 + 12x^3 + 30x^2 - 12x + 70

We have to find the remainder when the above polynomial is divided by x+5

Remainder theorem says that f(x) gives remainder R when divided by polynomial x-a means f(a) = R

Applying the above theorem we can say that value of the function when x =-5

= Remainder when f is divided by x+5

= F(-5)

Substitute the value of -5 in place of x

= (-5)^4 + 12(-5)^3 + 30(-5)^2 - 12(-5) + 70

= 625-1500+750+60+70

= 5

Hence answer is 5

How can I do this exercise? <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B-2%7D%7B12%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%20%2B%201%7D%7Bx%20%2B
matrenka [14]

Answer:

-8/7 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

-2         x+1

----- = -----------

12         x+2

Using cross products

-2 (x+2) = 12 (x+1)

Distribute

-2x -4 = 12x+12

Add 2x to each side

-2x+2x -4 = 12x+2x+12

-4 = 14x +12

Subtract 12 from each side

-4-12 = 14x

-16 = 14x

Divide each side by 14

-16/14 =14x/14

-8/7 =x
