According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with a mean of 23.3 ce

ntimeters and a standard deviation of 1.2 centimeters. In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long. What percentage of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller?

Answer:

22.66% of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller

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 = 23.3, \sigma = 1.2

In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long. What percentage of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 22.4. So

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

Z = \frac{22.4 - 23.3}{1.2}

Z = -0.75

Z = -0.75 has a pvalue of 0.2266

22.66% of women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller

A school wishes to enclose its rectangular playground using 480 meters of fencing.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Part a) A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2

Part b) The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

Part a) Find a function that gives the area A(x) of the playground (in square meters) in terms of x

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular playground is given by

P=2(L+W)

we have

P=480\ m\\L=x\ m

substitute

480=2(x+W)

solve for W

240=x+W\\W=(240-x)\ m

<u><em>Find the area of the rectangular playground</em></u>

The area is given by

A=LW

we have

L=x\ m\\W=(240-x)\ m

substitute

A=x(240-x)\\A=-x^2+240x

Convert to function notation

A(x)=(-x^2+240x)\ m^2

Part b) What side length x gives the maximum area that the playground can have?

we have

A(x)=-x^2+240x

This function represent a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

The x-coordinate of the vertex represent the length that give the maximum area that the playground can have

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

A(x)=-x^2+240x

Factor -1

A(x)=-(x^2-240x)

Complete the square

A(x)=-(x^2-240x+120^2)+120^2

A(x)=-(x^2-240x+14,400)+14,400

A(x)=-(x-120)^2+14,400

The vertex is the point (120,14,400)

therefore

The side length x that give the maximum area is 120 meters

Part c) What is the maximum area that the playground can have?

we know that

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum area

The vertex is the point (120,14,400) -----> see part b)

therefore

The maximum area is 14,400 square meters

Verify

x=120\ m

W=(240-120)=120\ m

The playground is a square

A=120^2=14,400\ m^2

How many solutions does this system of equations have?
victus00 [196]
Infinitely many because if you take the top equation and multiply it by 2 you get the same equation. That means that any number you plug in for x is a solution
