Answer:

a) X \sim N(9.3,1)  

b) P(X>9.2)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{9.2-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{9.2-9.3}{1})=1-P(Z

c) The value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 9.9745.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(9.3,1)  

Where \mu=9.3 and \sigma=1

3) Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X>9.2)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>9.2)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{9.2-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{9.2-9.3}{1})=1-P(Z

4) Part c

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.25   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.75 of the area on the left and 0.25 of the area on the right it's z=0.6745. On this case P(Z<0.6745)=0.75 and P(z>0.6745)=0.25

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(Z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=0.6745

And if we solve for a we got

a=9.3 +1*0.6745=9.9745

So the value of height that separates the bottom 75% of data from the top 25% is 9.9745.

which of the following best describes the technique used to graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept ? Y=5x+10
Vinvika [58]
The slope-intercept is y = mx+b. You can use this as a technique for graphing to make the experience easier. The "5" would be the slope or rise/run of the line. The 10 would be where it started on the y-intercept. You could also say it would be (0,10). Since the slope is positive than it would be going in an upward direction. That is why this technique is good for graphing. I hope this helps you and please put me as the brainliest answer. :)

Item 9 Find the annual interest rate. I=$562.50, P=$1500, t=5 yearsI=$562.50, P=$1500, t=5 years The annual interest rate is %.
Anton [14]
Hi there :-)
The formula of the simple interest is
I=prt
your question ask to find r which is interest rate you do that by dividing each side by (pt) to get
R=I÷pt
Now solve to get the interest rate
R=562.5÷(1,500×5)
R=0.075×100 multiply by 100 to get it as percentage
R=7.5%

Hope it helps:-)
