Example: In a survey of women in a certain country (ages 20-29) the mean height 63.7 inches with a standard deviations 2.65 inches. What is the height that represent 85 perentile ? what is the height represent First quartile
answer: in a survey of women in a certain country (ages 20-29) the mean height 63.7 inches with a standard deviations 2.65 inches.
What is the height that represent 85 percentile ?
Find the z-value of the 85th percentile::
invNorm(0.85) = 1.0364
Find the corresponding height value::
h = z*s + u
h = 1.0364*2.65 + 63.7
h = 66.47"
Answer:
Because we know the height of the mailbox is 4 feet and the length is 6 feet, and we also know that it's located 54 feet from the base of the flagpole, we can use proportions to solve the problem.
=
Cross-multiply 4 with 54 and 6 with x to result with 216=6x. Divide 6 to both sides to get 36. So, the height of the flagpole would be 36 feet.
You multiply all the sides to find the value of x
