Answer:

z=1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=239 +1.28*4.6=244.89

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 244.89.  

Step-by-step explanation:

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".  

Solution to the problem:

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(239,23)  

Where \mu=239 and \sigma=23

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we are interested on a value a such that:

P(\bar X>a)=0.10   (a)

P(\bar 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 0.90 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

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

P(\bar X  

P(z

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

z=1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=239 +1.28*4.6=244.89

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 244.89.

HELP PLESSE ITS MULTIPLE CHOICE
Andrew [12]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>Letter A</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to solve all the equations

First one is (4*1)-6

<em>We have to use PEMDAS</em>

<em>which stands for </em>

<em>Parenthesis</em>

<em>Exponents</em>

<em>Multiplication</em>

<em>Divison</em>

<em>Addition</em>

<em>Subtraction</em>

In (4*1)-6  

You have to do 4*1 first ~ which equals 4

the next step would be 4-6  ~  which equals -2

The next equation would be (1*4)-6

First do 1*4  ~ which is 4

Next 4-6  ~ which again equals -2

Next equation is (1*6)-(4-6)

Parenthesis first, 1*6=6

4-6=-2

6-(-2)

which equals 8

Our next equation is 6-(1*4)

1*4=4

6-4~ which equals 2

Our last equation is 4*(1-6)

Parenthesis comes first, so it would be 1-6 first

which equals -5

4*(-5) would be our final step  ~  which equals -20

All of our answers would be

-2 - from the top equation

-2 - from letter A

8 - from letter B

2 - from letter C

-20 - from letter D

which means <u><em>Letter A</em></u> is the answer.

Hope this is helpful.
