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

Look at the figure find the value of x for which l || m
Orlov [11]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:


19x and its vertical angle are equal.  Lets call that angle y

<y and 17x are same side interior angles.  Same side interior angles add to 180 if the lines are parallel.  Since l is parallel to m.

<y + 17x=180

We know that y and 19x are equal since they are vertical angles, so we can substitute this in.

19x+ 17x = 180

Combine like terms.

36x = 180

Divide each side by 36

36x/36 = 180/36

x = 5

Find the missing lengths:<br> LO=5 and OK=4, find OH and KH.
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The length of KH is 6 units and OH is 6.3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure with lengths LO=5 and OK=4. we have to find the length of  OH and KH.

In ΔLOH

By Pythagoras theorem

LH^2=LO^2+OH^2\\\\LH^2=5^2+OH^2 → (1)

In ΔKOH,

KH^2=OH^2+OK^2\\\\KH^2=OH^2+4^2  → (2)

In ΔKHL,

KL^2=LH^2+KH^2

Using eq (1) and (2), we get

KL^2=5^2+OH^2+OH^2+4^2

9^2=25+2OH^2+16

⇒ 2OH^2=81-25-16=40

⇒ OH=\sqrt{20}=6.324\sim6.3units.

Put the above value in eq 2, we get

KH^2=20+4^2=36

⇒ KH=6 units.
