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

How do you do Pythagorean theorem
ser-zykov [4K]
Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2. You are trying to find x which is c^2
so plug in the other numbers to the other letters. 9^2 + 17^2 = c^2
9^2= 81. 17^2= 289
81 + 289 = 370
370= c^2
Now all you have to do is square root the number
*square root sign* 370
19.24
c = 19.24
So, x = 19.24
