In 1998 the World Health Organization reported the findings of a major study on the quality of blood pressure monitoring around

the world. In its report it stated that for Canada the results for diastolic blood pressure had a mean of 78 mmHg and a standard deviation of 11 mmHg. Assuming that diastolic blood pressure measurements are Normally distributed, the DBP reading that represents the 80th percentile of the distribution is _____.

Answer:

87.26 mm Hg is the reading that represents the 80th percentile of the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 78 mm Hg

Standard Deviation, σ = 11 mm Hg

We are given that the distribution of diastolic blood pressure is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.80

P(X < x)

$P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 78}{11})=0.8$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(z < 0.842) = 0.8$

$\displaystyle\dfrac{x - 78}{11} = 0.842\\\\x = 87.262 \approx 87.26$

87.26 mm Hg is the reading that represents the 80th percentile of the distribution.

Hi..........help me....please math..........

First things first. You need to know the formula for finding volume of a pyramid.

The formula is V=1/3Bh or Volume=1/3*Base Area*height

-Remember >Capital B means base area...not base

What did the problem give us?

-The height of the pyramid is 6 cm
-The length and width of the base is 2 cm

Lets plug what we know into the formula.

V=1/3Bh > 1/3(4)6
Now you would have to solve it.

1/3(4)=1.33333333333

1.33333333333*6=8

So the answer is 8 cm.

I need to solve the equation please help me

Answer:

$\displaystyle x=\Big\{\frac{7\pi}{6}+2n\pi, \frac{3\pi}{2}+2n\pi, \frac{11\pi}{6}+2n\pi}\Big\}, n\in\mathbb{Z}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$4\sin^2(x)+6\sin(x)+2=0$

First, we can divide everything by 2:

$2\sin^2(x)+3\sin(x)+1=0$

Notice that we have an equation in quadratic form. Namely, if we make a substitution where u = sin(x), we acquire:

$2u^2+3u+1=0$

Solve for u. Factor:

$(2u+1)(u+1)=0$

Zero Product Property:

$2u+1=0\text{ or } u+1=0$

Solving for both cases:

$\displaystyle u=-\frac{1}{2}\text{ or } u=-1$

And by substitution:

$\displaystyle \sin(x)=-\frac{1}{2}\text{ or } \sin(x)=-1$

For the first case, recall that sin(x) is -1/2 for every 7π/6 and every 11π/6. Hence, for the first case, our solutions are:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{7\pi}{6}+2n\pi \text{ and } x=\frac{11\pi}{6}+2n\pi, n\in\mathbb{Z}$

Where n is an integer.

For the second case, sin(x) is -1 for every 3π/2. Thus:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{3\pi}{2}+2n\pi$

All together, our solutions are:

$\displaystyle x=\Big\{\frac{7\pi}{6}+2n\pi, \frac{3\pi}{2}+2n\pi, \frac{11\pi}{6}+2n\pi}\Big\}, n\in\mathbb{Z}$

12*7 - 3*8 = 60 ft²

#2

12*8 - 4*4 = 80 cm²

#3

4*4*5 + 4*4 = 96 m²

#4

15² - 9² = 144 cm²
