Answer:

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 175, \sigma = 22

What is the minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers?

90th percentile

The 90th percentile is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.9. So it is X when Z = 1.28. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 175}{22}

X - 175 = 22*1.28

X = 203.16

The minimum weight for a passenger who outweighs at least 90% of the other passengers is 203.16 pounds

7. The points P(2, -3), Q(3, -2) and R(8, z) are
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear then the slopes between the points are equal.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (2, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (3, - 2)

m = \frac{-2+3}{3-2} = 1

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = Q (3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = R (8, z )

m = \frac{z+2}{8-3} = \frac{z+2}{5} , then

\frac{z+2}{5} = 1 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

z + 2 = 5 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

z = 3

Answer:

X= 360- (180+35)

X= 145

Step-by-step explanation:

since angle at a point is same as angle in a circle =360°

And we've being given two values out of three that makes up the point. so we subtract the sum of the two values from the size of angle at a point
