Easy, showing work,
using the method FOIL (First,Outer,Inner, Last)
Take, (x+3)(x+5) and multiply,
First,
x*x=
Outer,
x*5=5x
Inner,
3*x=3x
Last,
3*5=15
Add the terms together,

Answer:
a)
b)
c)
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Part a
Let X the random variable that represent the SAT scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:
Part b
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability with this difference:
And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.
Part c
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.2 of the area on the left and 0.8 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842. On this case P(Z<-0.842)=0.2 and P(Z>-0.842)=0.8
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 415.8.
