Answer:

a) 6.68% of heights less than 150 centimeters

b) 58.65% of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

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 = 162, \sigma = 8

a) The percentage of heights less than 150 centimeters

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 150. So

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

Z = \frac{150 - 162}{8}

Z = -1.5

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

6.68% of heights less than 150 centimeters

b) The percentage of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 180 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 160.

X = 180

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

Z = \frac{180 - 162}{8}

Z = 2.25

Z = 2.25 has a pvalue of 0.9878

X = 160

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

Z = \frac{160 - 162}{8}

Z = -0.25

Z = -0.25 has a pvalue of 0.4013

0.9878 - 0.4013 = 0.5865

58.65% of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

F(x)=(5x+1)(4x−8)(x+6)f, left parenthesis, x, right parenthesis, equals, left parenthesis, 5, x, plus, 1, right parenthesis, lef
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

x=-\frac{1}{5}  \:or \: x=2 \:or\: x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x)=(5x+1)(4x-8)(x+6)

The zeros of the polynomial function are the point where the function f(x) equals zero.

f(x)=(5x+1)(4x-8)(x+6)=0

If abc=0, then a=0 or b=0 or c=0

Therefore:

(5x+1)(4x-8)(x+6)=0 \:means\\5x+1=0 \:or \: 4x-8=0 \:or\: x+6=0\\5x=-1 \:or \: 4x=8 \:or\: x=-6\\x=-\frac{1}{5}  \:or \: x=2 \:or\: x=-6

22.a) A fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750 of them on the same day.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: Ksh 6144

Step-by-step explanation:

On Thursday, a fruit vendor bought 1948 oranges on a Thursday and sold 750. The number of oranges left will be: = 1948 - 750 = 1198

On n Friday, he sold 240 more oranges than on Thursday. This means the number of oranges sold is: = 240 + 750 = 990.

The number for f oranges left will then be: = 1198 - 990 = 208

On Saturday, he bought 560 more

oranges, the total oranges that the vendor has now will be:

= 208 + 560 = 768

Since sold all the oranges he had at a price of Ksh. 8 each, the amount if money made will be:

= Ksh 8 × 768

= Ksh 6144

The vendor made Ksh 6144
