Answer:

the probability that two 18 year old boys chosen at random will have heights greater than 185cm is 0.403

Step-by-step explanation:

P( x > 193) = 0.15

= 1- p(x less than or equal 193)

= 1 -p( z < (x- u) /sigma)

= 1- p( z< (193 - 187)/ sigma)

= 1- p( z< 6/ sigma)

P(z< 6/sigma) = 1 - 0.15

P(z < 6/sigma)= 0.85

6/sigma =1.036

Sigma= 6/1.036

Sigma= 5.79

P( x> 185) = 1- p( x< 185)

= 1- p (z < (185- 187)/5.79)

= 1- p( z< -0.345)

= 1- 0.365

= 0.635

P (x> 185) = 0.635 × 0.635

=0.403

Statistics Question. Use the Desmos graphing calculator to find the least-squares regression line for the dataset in the table:
Soloha48 [4]

Given:

The table of values.

To find:

The least-squares regression line for the data set in the table by using the desmos graphing calculator.

Solution:

The general form of least-squares regression line is:

\hat{y}=mx+b           ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

By using the desmos graphing calculator, we get

m\approx 2.55,b\approx -6.435

Substitute these values in (i).

\hat{y}=(2.55)x+(-6.435)

\hat{y}=2.55x-6.435

Therefore, the correct option is A.

De que numero es 552 el 8%menos
djyliett [7]
8% of 552 is 44.16. Look at the percent sign as a decimal and move it two places to the left, that'll give you 0.08. To find 8% of 552, look at it as 0.08 multiplied by 552. After you multiply you should get 44.16.
