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.

Mr. Schordine wants to fill up enough helium balloons to allow him to fly through the skies. He weighs 84 kilograms. He knows th
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

There is needed around 311 balloons to fulfill Mr. Schordine’s dream of flight.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the volume of each balloon by considering the balloons as a sphere:    

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Where:

r: is the radius = 0.4 meters

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3}\pi (0.4 m)^{3} = 0.27 m^{3}

Knowing that 1 m³ of helium is able to lift about 1 kg, that Mr. Schordine weights 84 kg, and that each ballon has 0.27 m³ of helium, the number of balloons needed are:

N = \frac{1 m^{3}}{1 kg}*84 kg*\frac{1 balloon}{0.27 m^{3}} = 311.1 \: balloon              

Therefore, there is needed around 311 balloons to fulfill Mr. Schordine’s dream of flight.      

 

I hope it helps you!

Given triangle ABC. Prove the three medians of triangle ABC intersect at a common point.
pychu [463]

Answer:

Let's try to render the first part of the proof a bit more legibly.

Point F is a midpoint of Line segment AB

Point E is a midpoint of Line segment AC

Draw Line segment BE

Draw Line segment FC by Construction

Point G is the point of intersection between Line segment BE and Line segment FC Intersecting Lines Postulate

Draw Line segment AG by Construction

Point D is the point of intersection between Line segment AG and Line segment BC Intersecting Lines Postulate

Point H lies on Line segment AG such that Line segment AG ≅ Line segment GH by Construction

OK, now we continue. We need to prove some parallel lines; statement 4 lets us do so.

IV Line segment FG is parallel to line segment BH and Line segment GE is parallel to line segment HC -------- Midsegment Theorem

Now that we've shown some segments parallel we extend that to collinear segments.

III Line segment GC is parallel to line segment BH and Line segment BG is parallel to line segment HC -------- Substitution

We have enough parallel lines to prove a parallelogram

I BGCH is a parallelogram -------- Properties of a Parallelogram (opposite sides are parallel)

Now we draw conclusions from that.

II Line segment BD ≅ Line segment DC -------- Properties of a Parallelogram (diagonals bisect each other)

Answer: IV III I II, second choice

What is √−100 = + i simplifying square roots of negative numbers
Viktor [21]

Answer:

±10i

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt( -100)

sqrt(  100*-1 )

We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

sqrt(100)sqrt(-1)

We know that sqrt(-1) = i

±10i
