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 soccer game lasts 90 minutes without running into overtime. The coach
KatRina [158]

Answer: 7 Switches will be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{90}{12.5}= number of switches

7.2= number of switches

  • however you cannot have a fraction of a switch so you must round it to a whole number, which in this case is 7.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

Samuel has 3/4 ton of mulch to spread equally in 8 square yards. How many tons of mulch will be spread in each square yard
Vikki [24]

Answer:

0.09375 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, it is given that Samuel has 3/4 tons of mulch i.e. 0.75 tons of mulch.

Again it is given that Samuel has to spread equally this amount of mulch in 8 square yards of the plot.

Since the mulch is spread uniformly, then we can say that in each square yard of the plot (0.75/8) = 0.09375 tons of mulch is been spread.

Therefore, 0.09375 tons of mulch will be spread in each square yard. (Answer)
