Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 20% = $\frac{20}{100}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

Hence to find 20% of a number, dividing the number by 5 is correct

20% of £30 = $\frac{30}{5}$ = £6

A study is run to investigate the association between flower color and fragrance in wild azaleas found in the Great Smoky Mounta

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The answer is 0.1935

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

From the question given, we will find the probability that a randomly selected azalea has no fragrance or is not colored

Now,

p (Fragrance, not colored)

Thus,

p (Fragrance, not colored)/ p (Not colored)

so,

12/62 = 0.1935

(1 point) The systolic blood pressure (given in millimeters) of males has an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 12

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) $Z = -2.7$

b) $Z = 2.3$

c) Kyle's systolic blood pressure is 1.75 standard deviations above the average systolic blood pressure for men.

d) $X = 144.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 problem, we have that:

$\mu = 127, \sigma = 10$

(a) 100 millimeters z-score =

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

$Z = \frac{100 - 127}{10}$

$Z = -2.7$

(b) 150 millimeters z-score =

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

$Z = \frac{150 - 127}{10}$

$Z = 2.3$

(c) Kyle's doctor told him that the z-score for his systolic blood pressure is 1.75. Which of the following is the best interpretation of his score?

1.75 standard deviations above the mean systolic blood pressure of males.

The problem does not talk about age.

So the answer is:

Kyle's systolic blood pressure is 1.75 standard deviations above the average systolic blood pressure for men.

d) Calculate Kyle's blood pressure

This is X when Z = 1.75. So

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

$1.75 = \frac{X - 127}{10}$
