Answer:

<em>About 160 people weigh more than 165 pounds. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The measured weights of 1,000 men in a certain village follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds.

We know that,

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 165

μ = mean = 150

σ = standard deviation = 15

Putting the values,

z=\dfrac{165-150}{15}=\dfrac{15}{15}=1

Finding the value of probability for z=1, from z score table,

P(z

Hence, 84% of total men will weigh less than 165 pounds. So 16% of men will be more than 165 pounds, i.e

1000\times \dfrac{16}{100}=160

Z = (X-Mean)/SD 
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16% 
</span>
<span>Therefore, 
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>

Social studies Geometry P.11 Similarity and altitudes in right triangles CEZ You have priz If SU = 28 and UV = 6, what is TU? T
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

TU ≈ 12.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude on Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of outer triangle)² = (part of hypotenuse below it) × (whole hypotenuse)

TU² = UV × SU = 6 × 28 = 168 ( take square root of both sides )

TU = \sqrt{168} ≈ 12.96 ( to the nearest hundredth )

Which of the following is true with respect to the following functions:
Mkey [24]

The option that is true with regard to the following functions is Option B. "The domain g(x) and h(x) include all real number while the domain of i(x) and h(x) are restricted"

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?</h3>

  • Lets examine f(x) = 3x + 14

Note that this function is indicative of a straight-line. See the attached graph for function 1. Note that it doesn't have any end points. That is, it is Asymptote.

  • Let us examine h(x) = 3ˣ + 1

This represents an exponential graph. Just like the function above it doesn't have any end point. It however has an asymptote:

y = 0

  • Let us look at F'(x) = Log₃ (x = 1).

This is indicative of logarithm graph. It doesn't have any end but has an asymptote x == 0

  • Let us take a look at g(x) = X⁴ + 3x² - 14

Notice that in the mid point there is an end point given as (0, -14). Thus, it is correct to state that the function in Option B is the only one that exhibits end behavior and as such is restricted.

The formula for the area of a triangle is, 1 А A= bh Calculate the height of a triangle when A= 24 m2 and b = 8 m.​
Sphinxa [80]

I hope this helps you

A=1/2.b.h

given Area is 24 and base is 8

24=1/2.8.h

24=4.h (divide 4 both of sides)

h=6 (height)
