Answer:

<em>The 9th percentile of X is 44.96</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentiles for a Normal Distribution</u>

The standard normal distribution can be used for computing percentiles. For example, the median is the 50th percentile being the center value, the first quartile is the 25th percentile, and so on.

To compute percentiles of a normal distribution we can use the formula

X=\mu+z\sigma

Where \mu is the mean, \sigma is the standard deviation of the variable X, and z is the z-score value from the standard tables

The value of X can also be directly obtained from digital tables included in math packages and tools like Excel.

The Excel NORM.INV Function calculates the inverse of the cumulative Normal Distribution Function for a given value of p, \mu and \sigma.

We'll use the values

p=9\%=0.09,\ \mu=53, \ \sigma=6

NORM.INV(0.09,53,6) results in 44.96 which means the 9th percentile of X is 44.96

We could have used the standard normal distribution, which only needs the value of p

NORM.S.INV( 0.09 )=-1.34

That is the value of z, we now apply the formula

X=\mu+z\sigma

X=53+(-1.34)\cdot 6=44.96

We get the very same result as before

MArishka [77]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 3

6x + 3y = -3

the substitution method means you plug one equation into the next, because the first equation gives us a solution for y we can go ahead and plug that into y of the second equation

6x + 3(-2x + 3) = -3

6x - 6x + 9 = -3

9 = -3

which is false meaning that there are no solutions and the lines don't touch at any point

Brandon enters bike races.He bikes 8 1/2 miles every 1/2 hour. complete a table to find how far Brandon bikes for each time inte
MissTica
12. Since there is no table given I will assume that what you want me to do is to show that Unit rate of Brandon’s biking. SO here are the data that we need: => 8 and ½ miles = 8.5 miles => ½ hour = .5 hours or 30 minutes Now, let’s solve for the unit rate => SO in every 30 minutes he bikes around 8.5 miles => Since 1 hour is equals to 30 minutes, simply multiply 8.5 by 2 => 8.5 * 2 = 17miles => 17 miles / hour
