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 answer would be 60. By rounding, 14.2=14; 15.51=16; 14.99=15; 15.8=16.
14+15+16+16=61
Rounding: 61=60

-2x + 7 = -32 i need all the steps
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

x = 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 7 = -32           (subtract 7 on both sides)

      -7     -7

-2x = -39                  (Divide by -2)

x = 19.5

Here is Laila’s graph from the previous screen.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

y=-1/3x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no need for any specific answers, but here is one that could logically work out. Since the graph is going left/down, it has a negative slope, so -1/3 would be reasonable. The graph doesn't cross the origin and crosses above it, so this equation must have a positive 'b' value. In this case, I chose 8. y=-1/3+8 could represent Laila's graph.
