The heights of men in the United States are approximately normally distributed with mean 69.1 inches and standard deviation 2.9

inches. The heights of women in the United States are approximately nor- mally distributed with mean 63.7 inches and standard deviation 2.7 inches. Additionally, suppose that the heights of husbands and wives have a correlation of 0.3. Let X and Y be the heights of a married couple chosen at random. What are the mean and standard deviation of the average height,

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M be the heights of men in the United States and W be the heights of women in the United States

Given that M is N(69.1, 2.9) and W (63.7, 2.7)

For a husband and wife we have average height as

\frac{x+y}{2}=Z (say)

Mean =E(z) = \frac{1}{2} [E(M)+E(W)] = 66.4 inches

Var (Z) =Var (\frac{x+y}{2} )=\frac{1}{4}[Var(x)+ Var(y)+2 cov (x,y)]\\

=0.25[2.9^2+2.7^2+2*r*sx*sy]\\= 0.25(20.398)\\=5.0995

Mean = 66.4" and std dev = 2.258

Polygon MNOPQ is dilated by a scale factor of 0.8 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image M′N′O′P′Q′.
Goryan [66]
M` = ( 0.8 * 2,  0.8 *4 ) = 0.8 * ( 2, 4 );
N` = ( 0.8 * 3, 0.8 * 5 ) = 0.8 * ( 3 , 5 ).  
The slope of line M`N` ( after dilation ):
m = Rise / Run = ( y 2 - y 1 ) / ( x 2 - x 1 ) =
= 0.8 * ( 5 - 4 ) / ( 0.8 ( 3 - 2 ) = 0.8 / 0.8 = 1
m = 1
Answer:
The slope of line M`N` is : B ) 1

Could someone explain/answer this?
ASHA 777 [7]

in general, the graph of y = f(x-a) is a shift a units right if a is positive and shift of a units left if a is negative. for example, y = f(x-2) is 2 units right of f(x) and y=f(x+2) is 2 units LEFT.


in general, the graph of y = f(x) + a is a shift a units up if a is postiive and a units down if a is negtaive. For example, y = f(x) + 4 is 4 units up and y=f(x)-4 is a shift of 4 units down.

Note that f(x) = sqrt(x) here, so we have f(x+4) = sqrt(x+4) for 4 units left. Then you do f(x+4) + 6 = sqrt(x+4) + 6 for 6 units up.

Your answer is g(x) = sqrt(x+4) + 6
