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.

the ratio of the number of skiers who bought passes to the number of snowboaders who bought season passes is 1:2 . if 1250 more
viva [34]
If a ratio of skiers and snumboarders is 1:2, and if there are 1250 snowboarders more than skiers, it means that is that there 2500 snowboarders and 1250 skiers.

How to check it? 2500 is 1250 more than 1250 and the ratio is still 1:2 (there are two times more snowboarders than skiers). Both conditions are fulfiled, so it's correct.
