Answer:

(a) The probability that his height is less than 66 inches is 0.2743.

(b) The probability that the height is between 66 and 71 inches is 0.4679.

(c) The probability that the height is more than 71 inches is 0.2578.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given in the question is:

Mean (μ) = 68.4

Standard Deviation (σ) = 4

Let X denote the height of men. We will use the normal distribution z-score formula to calculate the z-score and then look up the probability in the normal probability distribution table. The z-score formula is:

z = (X - μ)/σ

(a) For P(X<66), first calculate the z value.

z = (66-68.4)/4

z = -0.6 (Look up this value in the standard normal distribution table)

P(z<-0.6) = 0.2743

The probability that his height is less than 66 inches is 0.2743.

(b) P(66<X<71)  = P(X<71) - P(X<66)

We need to find P(X<71) so, calculating the z-value:

z = (71-68.4)/4

z = 0.65

P(z<0.65) = 0.7422

P(66<X<71)  = 0.7422 - 0.2743

P(66<X<71)  = 0.4679

The probability that the height is between 66 and 71 inches is 0.4679.

(c) To find the probability P(X>71), we need to find P(X<71) and then subtract it from 1 because the normal distribution table gives values for P(X<k). We have already calculated the value of P(X<71) in part (b) so,

P(X>71) = 1 - P(X<71)

            = 1 - 0.7422

P(X>71) = 0.2578

The probability that the height is more than 71 inches is 0.2578.

Answer:

E = 50

D  = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

D + E = 200

D = 3E

Substituting that into the equation

3E + E = 200

Combing terms

4E = 200

Divide by 4

4E /4 = 200/4

E = 50

D = 3E

D = 3*50 = 150

He will use more tiles because 1/3 is smaller than 1/2 and the smaller the tiles the more you need to fill the place up.

What is -2(6a-2b+4c-9)
scoray [572]

Answer:

-12a + 4b - 8c + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, you will need to use the Distributive Property. Multiply the number outside of the parenthesis by the terms inside of the parenthesis.

-2(6a - 2b + 4c - 9) becomes:

-12a + 4b - 8c + 18
