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.

A sewing club used 48 feet of fabric to make 8 blankets. At this rate how many blankets can be made from 6 yards of fabric?
Scilla [17]
48f=8b
÷8    ÷8 (divided by 8)
6f=b
it takes 6 feet of fabric to make 1 blanket 
6f=1b                                                             3f=y
36f=6b
12y=6b

it takes 12 yards to make 6 blankets
