Answer:

<em>About 160 people weigh more than 165 pounds. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The measured weights of 1,000 men in a certain village follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds.

We know that,

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 165

μ = mean = 150

σ = standard deviation = 15

Putting the values,

z=\dfrac{165-150}{15}=\dfrac{15}{15}=1

Finding the value of probability for z=1, from z score table,

P(z

Hence, 84% of total men will weigh less than 165 pounds. So 16% of men will be more than 165 pounds, i.e

1000\times \dfrac{16}{100}=160

Z = (X-Mean)/SD 
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16% 
</span>
<span>Therefore, 
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>

6+(-5) is the same as 6-5 because when adding negative 5 to 6 you are basically subtracting a regular 5 from 6. So the + in front of the parenthesis makes the 5 a positive: 6+(-5) —— 6-5

One zero of f(x)=x^3-2x^2-5+6 is 1 what are the other zeros of the function
noname [10]

Answer:

the other zeros of this function are {-2, 3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use synthetic division to find the roots.  The coefficients of this cubic function are 1, -2, -5, 6, and we begin by using 1 as our first divisor:

1    /    1    -2    -5    6

               +1      -1    -6

    --------------------------

         1     -1       -6    0

Because the remainder is zero (0), we can conclude that 1 is indeed a root of the given polynomial.  The quotient is 1x^2  - 1x  - 6, whose roots can be found either through synthetic division or factoring.  In this case the factors are (x - 3) and (x + 2), so the other zeros of this function are {-2, 3}.

Which is the better buy a 3 pound ham for $5.70 or 5 pounds for $8.75
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The larger ham is the better buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the better buy, divide both of the prices by their weight to get the price per pound of ham.

5.70/3 = 1.90 per lb

8.75/5 = 1.75 per lb

Therefore the 5 pound of ham is a better buy.

I don't understand this, please explain how.

First find the volume of the pool. To do so, multiply the length, times the width, times the height. In this case, it would be 12*15*5 and you get 900 cubic meters.
If the pool is being filled with 36 cubic meters of water per hour, you divide 900 by 36. You get 25 hours.
To check your work, multiply 25 hours and 36 cubic meters of water. You get 900 cubic meters, which is the area of the pool meaning it is full.
