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.

Sherrod and Kamar are planning to drive at most 900 miles road trip. Sherrod drives at 60 miles per hour, and Kamar at 50 miles
Allushta [10]

The inequality gives the total expected journey from the road trip, such that the time during which Sherrod and Kamar drives is known.

  • a. The inequality that represents the miles that Sherrod and Kamar drives is; <u>x + y ≤ 900</u>
  • b. Two possible combination of <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> are; <u>(600, 300) and (300, 600)</u>

Reasons:

a. The distance distance Sherrod and Kamar plan to drive ≤ 900 miles

Sherrod's speed = 60 mph

Kamar's speed = 50 mph

The distance Sherrod drives = x

The distance Kamar drives = y

a. The miles driven by Sherrod and Kamar is given by the inequality;

  • <u>x + y ≤ 900</u>

b. Two possible combinations are;

First possible combination;

Sherrod drives for 10 hours, which gives;

Distance Sherrod drives = 60 mph × 10 hour = 600 miles

Kamar drives for 900 miles - 600 miles = 300 miles

Which gives;

Sherrod drives for 600 miles and Kamar drives for 300 miles

  • <u>First combination; (600, 300)</u>

Second possible combination;

The second possible combination is Sherrod drives for 300 miles and Kamar drives for 600 miles

  • <u>Second combination; (300, 600)</u>
