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\%

X is left and right

hmm
see the aproximate slope
see endpoints
ok, so from about (0,3) to (35,30)
slpoe is 27/35

so
y=(27/35)x+3 about
so when x=
ok, so according to the garph, when x=35, y=30, not 20


ok, so when x=40

y=(27/35)x+3
y=(27/35)*40+3
y=33.8571 about for x=40

Which values of a, b, and c correctly represent the answer in simplest form? 3 and one-half divided by 2 and one-fourth = a Star
sasho [114]

Answer:

(A) a=1,b=5,c=9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify 3\frac{1}{2} \div 2\frac{1}{4} for values of a, b and c which satisfies: a\dfrac{b}{c}

3\dfrac{1}{2} \div 2\dfrac{1}{4}\\\text{Changing each fraction to improper fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}\div \dfrac{9}{4}\\\text{Next, we change the division sign to multiplication by taking reciprocal of the second fraction}\\=\dfrac{7}{2}X \frac{4}{9}\\=\dfrac{7X4}{2X9}\\=\dfrac{28}{18}\\Converting our result to mixed fraction

\dfrac{28}{18}=1\dfrac{10}{18}=1\dfrac{5}{9}\\a=1,b=5,c=9
