Answer:

65.3658 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the height of a woman randomly choosen. We know tha X have a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. For an x value, the related z-score is given by z = (x-63.6)/2.5. We are looking for a value x_{0} such that P(X < x_{0}) = 0.76, but, 0.76 = P(X < x_{0}) = P((X-63.6)/2.5 < (x_{0}-63.6)/2.5) = P(Z < (x_{0}-63.6)/2.5), i.e., (x_{0}-63.6)/2.5 is the 76th percentile of the standard normal distribution. So, (x_{0}-63.6)/2.5 = 0.7063, x_{0} =63.6+(2.5)(0.7063) = 65.3658. Therefore, the height of a woman who is at the 76th percentile is 65.3658 inches.

A system of equations is shown below.
prisoha [69]

Given:

The system of equations is

y=1.5x-3

y=1.5x+4

To find:

The true statement about the given system of equations.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have,

y=1.5x-3

y=1.5x+4

On comparing these two lines with slope intercept form, we get

m_1=1.5,b_1=-3

m_2=1.5,b_2=4

Since the slopes of the lines are equal but the y-intercepts are different, therefore, the two lines are parallel and the system has no solution.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Given here are a set of sample data: 12.0, 18.3, 29.6, 14.3, and 27.8. the sample standard deviation for this data is equal to _
disa [49]
The answer is 7.9306

Using the formula in the attached:
Where: xi = sample value; μ = sample mean; n = sample size

1.) Calculate the mean first:
μ = 12.0 + 18.3 + 29.6 + 14.3 + 27.8 / 5
   = 102 / 5
μ = 20.4

2.) Using the mean, calculate (xi - μ)² for each value:
(12.0 - 20.4)² = 70.56
(18.3 - 20.4)² = 4.41
(29.6 - 20.4)² = 84.64
(14.3 - 20.4)² = 37.21
(27.8 - 20.4)² = 54.76

3.) Sum the squared differences and divide by n - 1.
μ = 70.56 + 4.41 + 84.64 + 37.21 + 54.76
   = 251.58 / 5-1
μ = 62.895 (this is now called sample variance)

4.) Get the square root of the sample variance:
 √62.895 = 7.9306

Answer:

The rule of the arithmetic sequence is 13 - 2n

The 30th term is -47

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ f(n) = 11 and g(n) = -2(n - 1) = -2n + 2

∴ f(n) + g(n) = 11 + -2n + 2 = 13 - 2n

Use n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 to check the type of the sequence

∵ n = 1 ⇒ 13 - 2(1) = 11

∵ n = 2 ⇒ 13 - 2(2) = 13 - 4 = 9

∵ n = 3 ⇒ 13 - 2(3) = 13 - 6 = 7

∵ n = 4 ⇒ 13 - 2(4) = 13 - 8 = 5

∵ 11 , 9 , 7 , 5 is an arithmetic sequence with difference -2

∴ The rule of the arithmetic sequence is 13 - 2n

∴ The 30th term = 13 - 2(30) = -47
