Answer:

a=14 -0.842*3=11.474

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 11.474.  

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".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lengths of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(14,3)  

Where \mu=14 and \sigma=3

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.8   (a)

P(X   (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:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.842

And if we solve for a we got

a=14 -0.842*3=11.474

So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 11.474.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

30 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

SO we need to find the area of the wall so we do

8 feet * 5 feet = 40 feet squared

then we find that area in inches

40*12=480

Now we find the area of the tiles

4*4=16

So now we divide to find how many tiles are needed

480/16=30

Our answer is 30

Jason and Kyle both choose a number from 1 to 10 at random. What is the probability that both numbers are odd?
Artemon [7]
Your answer is 

B) 1/2

because there are 5 odd and 5 even numbers from 5 through 10, so it would be 1/2.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

How do you solve 21/4=1/2x+3x and whats the answer?
MissTica
Hi there!

To solve is pretty easy. First, simplify.

21/4=(1/2x+3x) -> Combine Like Terms
21/4=7/2x
FLIP
7/2x=21/4

Multiply both sides by 2/7.
(2/7)*(7/2x)=(2/7)*(21/4)
x = 2/3

Hope this helps!
