On her birthday, Sonia distributed chocolates in an orphanage. She gave 5 chocolates to each child and 20 chocolates to adults.
1 answer:
Answer with explanation:
Total number of Children = x Children
Total number of chocolates distributed = y Chocolates
If there are x children, then total number of chocolate got by children= 5 x Chocolate
Number of chocolate got by Adults= 20
Let total number of adults be z.
Expressing the statement in terms of Equation
y = 5 x + 20 z
⇒Number of Adults =z

Answer:
a)
b)
c) The value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 9.9745.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
2) Part a
Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
3) Part b
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
4) Part c
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.6745. On this case P(Z<0.6745)=0.75 and P(z>0.6745)=0.25
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 9.9745.
