Your firm has a contract to make staff uniforms for a fast-food retailer. The heights of the staff are normally distributed with

a mean of 70 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. a) What percentage of uniforms will have to fit staff shorter than 67 inches, i.e., P(X<67)? b) What percentage will have to be suitable for staff taller than 76 inches, i.e., P(X>76)?

Answer:

a) 16%

b) 2.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The mean is 70 with standard deviation(SD) of 3 and you are asked to find out the percentage of staff that have <67(70-3 inch= mean - 1 SD) inch size, which means 1 SD below the mean (<-1 SD). Using 68-95-99.7 rule, you can know that 68% of the population is inside 1 SD range from the mean ( -1 SD to + 1 SD).

To put it on another perspective, there are 32% of the population that have < -1 SD and > +1 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of < - 1 SD alone is 32%/2= 16%

b)

The question asks how many populations have size >76 inches, or mean + 2 SD (70+3*2 inch).

You can also solve this using 68-95-99.7 rule, but you take 95% value as the question asking for 2 SD instead.  Since 95% of population is inside 2 SD range from the mean ( -2 SD to + 2 SD), so there are 5% of population that have < -2 SD and > +2 SD value. Assuming the distribution is symmetrical, then the value of > +2 SD alone is 5%/2= 2.5%

Nisha collects comic books, and she convinced her friend Hakim to start collecting as well. Every week, they go to the store tog
andreyandreev [35.5K]

By using the given table, we will get the linear equation:

h = n - 9

<h3>How to find the equation for Hakim?</h3>

We know that they always get comic books together, so always that Nisha's collection increases by one, Hakim's collection will also increase by one, so we will have a linear equation.

Now, if you look at the given table, you can see that Hakim's collection is always 9 units less than Nisha's collection, then the linear equation that models the relation between the two collections, h and n, is really straightforward, it will be:

Hakim's collection = Nisha's collection - 9

Using the variables, we get:

h = n - 9

That is the linear equation Hakim wanted.

1. What is the slope between the points (2,-5) and (8,3)? *<br><br> Show work please
hjlf

Answer:

\sf m = \dfrac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, \sf (x_1, ~ y_1) = (2, -5) and \sf (x_2, ~ y_2) = (8, 3)

The slope formula is, \sf m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

\sf m = \dfrac{3 - (-5)}{8 - 2}

\sf m = \dfrac{8}{6}

\bf m = \dfrac{4}{3}
