Answer:

Bianca's height = 42 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Bianca height.

Given:

Meredith height = 60 inches

We need to find the Bianca height.

Solution:

From the given statement the Meredith's height is $\frac{2}{3}$ of Bianca's height plus 32 inches, so the equation is.

Meredith's height = $\frac{2}{3}(Bianca\ height)+32$

Substitute Meredith's height in above equation.

$60=\frac{2}{3}x+32$

Now we solve the above equation for x.

$\frac{2}{3}x=60-32$

$\frac{2}{3}x=28$

By cross multiplication.

$x=\frac{3\times 28}{2}$

28 divided by 2.

$x= 3\times 14$

$x=42\ in$

Therefore, the height of the Bianca is 42 inches.

The daily dinner bills in a local restaurant are normally distributed with a mean of $28 and a standard deviation of $6. What ar

Degger [83]

Answer:

The minimum value of the bill that is greater than 95% of the bills is $37.87.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

$\mu = 28, \sigma = 6$
