The following are questions from a self-quiz.According to some study, the height for Northern European adult males is normally d

istributed with an average of 181 centimeter and a standard deviation of 7.3 centimeter. Suppose such an adult male is randomly chosen. Let X be height of that person. The next 2 questions correspond to this information. The answer may be rounded up to 3 decimal places of the actual value.a) The probability that the person is between 160 and 170 centimeters isb) The probability that the person is higher than 190 centimeter is

Answer:

a) 0.064

b) 0.109

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 181 centimeter

Standard Deviation, σ = 7.3 centimeter

We are given that the distribution of height for Northern European adult males is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(person is between 160 and 170 centimeters)

P(160 \leq x \leq 170) = P(\displaystyle\frac{160 - 181}{7.3} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{170-181}{7.3}) = P(-2.8767 \leq z \leq -1.506)\\\\= P(z \leq -1.506) - P(z < -2.8767)\\= 0.066 -0.002 = 0.064 = 6.4\%

b) P(person is higher than 190 centimeter)

P(x > 190)

P( x > 190) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{190 - 181}{7.3}) = P(z > 1.2328)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1.2328)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 190) = 1 - 0.891 = 0.109 = 10.9\%

natka813 [3]

Answer: 0.701

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula :  EBM =z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} , where \alpha= significance level , \sigma = Population standard deviation, n= sample size.

As per given,  n= 22

\sigma = 2

Critical z- value for 90% confidence level : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Then,

 EBM =(1.645)\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{22}}\\\\=(1.645)\dfrac{2}{4.690416}\\\\\approx0.701

Hence ,  error bound (EBM) of the confidence interval with a 90% confidence level= ± 0.701

Which of the following is the mark of a math novice as compared with a math expert?
malfutka [58]
The answer for this question is choice c. Memorization is not a good way to truly understand math. You want to understand the reasoning behind your answers always.

A math expert is what you should strive to be! The first two choices are great ways to become this.
