Answer:

1.) 92.61%

2.) 97.58%

3.) 65.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean populational weight (X) = 175 pounds

Standard deviation (σ) = 7.6 pounds

The z-score for any given student weight, X, is defined by:

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

The z-score can be converted to a percentile of the normal distribution through a z-score table.

1.

The z-score for X=186 pounds is:

z=\frac{186- 175}{7.6}\\z=1.447

A z-score of 1.447 corresponds to the 92.61-th percentile.

Therefore, the probability that a male student weighs at most 186 pounds is:

P(X\leq 186) = 92.61\%

2.

The z-score for X=160 pounds is:

z=\frac{160- 175}{7.6}\\z=-1.974

A z-score of 1.447 corresponds to the 2.42-th percentile.

Therefore, the probability that a male student weighs at least 160 pounds is:

P(X\geq 160) = 100 - 2.42=97.58\%

3.

The z-score for X=165 pounds is:

z=\frac{165- 175}{7.6}\\z=-1.316

A z-score of -1.316 corresponds to the 9.41-th percentile.

The z-score for X=180 pounds is:

z=\frac{180- 175}{7.6}\\z=0.658

A z-score of 0.658 corresponds to the 74.47-th percentile.

Therefore, the probability that a male student weighs between 165 and 180 pounds is:

P(165\leq X\leq 180) = 74.47-9.41=65.06\%

First, we are going to find if the function is odd or even. Remember that we can determine if a function is odd of even from its graph by looking at its ends; if both ends go to the same the direction, the function is even. If both ends go to opposite directions, the function is odd. At both ends, the graph of our function go towards the same direction, minus infinity, so we can conclude that our function is even.

Next, we are going to find the possible degree of our function. Remember that the possible degree of a function is the number of x-intercepts.
We can infer from our graph that the function intercepts the x-axis at least 6 times.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: even degrees of 6 or greater.
