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\%

Answer:

First answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called the Arc length, here is the formula:

Arc length = (angle/360)*(2Pi*radius)

So,

(45/360)*(2*3.14*4)

= 3.14

SO Pi !!!!!

What is -4 the square root of 12 + the square root of 75 in simplist radical form?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

<u>The simplest radical form of this mathematical expression is - 3√3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's write in a mathematical expression the information given:

-4 the square root of 12 + the square root of 75

-4 (√12) + √75

-4 (√4 * 3) + (√25 * 3)  (12 = 4 * 3 and 75 = 25 * 3)

-4 (2 √3) + 5 √3

-8 √3 + 5√3

- 3 √3

The result is- 3 square root of 3.

<u>The simplest radical form of this mathematical expression is - 3√3</u>
