Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 9090​% of all males.​ (accommodating 1

00% of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​ expensive.) men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.814.8 in. and a standard deviation of 1.11.1 in. find upper p 90p90. that​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 9090​% from the largest 1010​%. the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 9090​% from the largest 1010​% is upper p 90p90equals= nothing in.

Let X be the hip breadth for men. X follows Normal distribution with mean μ =14.8 and standard deviation σ =1.1

Here we have to find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 90​% from the largest 10​%

That is we have to find X that separates lower 90% area from upper 10%. For that we will first find z such that probability below it is 0.9 and above it 0.1

P(Z < z) =0.9

Using z score table to find z value

We do not have probability value exactly 0.9 so we will take probability close to 0.9 which is 0.8997 and corresponding z score is 1.28

So we have P(Z < 1.28) =0.9

Now using z=1.28, μ =14.8 and σ =1.1 we will find value of x

x = z*σ + μ

= (1.28 * 1.1) + 14.8

x = 16.208 rounding to nearest integer x= 16

The hip breadth that separates lower 90% area from upper 10% is 16 inch

How does tripling the side lengths of a right triangle affect its area?)
kap26 [50]
The area of the triangle will then be 9 times as great. 

The formula of the area of a triangle is 1/2bh, so if the base has been tripled and the height has been tripled, you're essentially multiplying 3 to the original equation twice (3 x 3 = 9).
