A survey found that​ women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.4 in and standard deviation 2.2 in. A branch of the m

ilitary requires​ women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in. a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too​ tall? b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest​ 1% and the tallest​ 2%, what are the new height​ requirements?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.4 in and standard deviation 2.2 in.

Let X be the random variable representing women heights.

P(58<X<80)

Z for 58 = -2.454

Z for 80 = 7.545

P(-2.454<Z<7.545) = 0.4945+0.5=0.9945

Suppose that two cards are randomly selected from a standard​ 52-card deck. ​(a) what is the probability that the first card is
Savatey [412]
(a) without replacement:
P(S)=13/52=1/4
P(SS)=(1/4)*(12/51)=1/17
Probability of selecting two spades without replacement is 1/17.

(b) with replacement
P(S)=13/52=1/4
P(SS)=(1/4)(13/52)=1/16
Probability of selecting two spades with replacement is 1/16.

Which of the following points is a solution of y &gt; Ixl + 5?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

B. (1,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute the x and y values of each coordinate into the inequality and test if they work.

Let's start with A, 5 being y and 0 being x .

5 > |0|+5\\5> 0+5\\5 > 5

5 IS NOT greater than 5, they are the exact same, so A is out.

Let's try B, 1 being x and 7 being y.

7 > |1| + 5\\7 > 1 + 5\\7 > 6

7 IS greater than 6, so B. (1,7) does work for this inequality!

Let's do C for fun, when 7 is x and 1 is y.

1 > |7| + 5\\1>7+5\\1>12

1 IS NOT greater than 12, it is quite less than 12, so C doesn't work.

Therefore B. (1,7) works for the inequality of y > |x|+5.

Hope this helped!

In 1982 Abby’s mother scored at the 93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.

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(which is the square root of the variance) \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.

Abby's mom score:

93rd percentile in the math SAT exam. In 1982 the mean score was 503 and the variance of the scores was 9604.

93rd percentile. X when Z has a pvalue of 0.93. So X when Z = 1.476.

\mu = 503, \sigma = \sqrt{9604} = 98

So

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

1.476 = \frac{X - 503}{98}

X - 503 = 1.476*98

X = 648

Abby's score

She scored 648.

\mu = 521 \sigma = \sqrt{10201} = 101

So

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

Z = \frac{648 - 521}{101}

Z = 1.26

Z = 1.26 has a pvalue of 0.8962.

The percentle for Abby's score was the 89.62nd percentile.
