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%

A sum of rs 400 is lent for 3 yrs at the rate of 6% per annum. Find the interest.
Nimfa-mama [501]
Interest is equal to rs 72

Simple Interest is computed by multiplying the principal to the interest rate and the time.

I = P * r * t

Principal = rs 400
Interest rate = 6%
Term / time = 3 yrs

I = 400 * 6% * 3
I = 72   the total interest that must be paid in 3 yrs.

What do you do to both sides to<br> r? What is r? 3/8 r = 6 HELP ME
faust18 [17]

Answer:

r = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{8}r = 6 \\\\

Multiply both sides by 8

8*\frac{3}{8}r = 6*8\\\\3r = 48\\

Divide both side by 3

\frac{3}{3}r=\frac{48}{3}\\\\r = 16

OR

Multiply both side by (8/3)

\frac{8}{3}*\frac{3}{8}r=6*\frac{8}{3}\\\\r = 2*8\\\\r = 16

write an equation to represent the information in this problem. Jerel runs five days each week. on each of 4 days, he runs 2.3 km. if jerel runs a total of 14km, how many kilometers does he run on the fifth day?

Let x be the distance run on the fifth day

Total distance run on all the four days = 2.3 * 4 = 9.2 km

Required equation : x + 9.2 = 14

x = 14 - 9.2

x = 4.8 km
