Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 9090​% of all males.​ (Accommodating 1

00% of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.5 in. and a standard deviation of 1.2 in. Find Upper P90. That​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 90​% from the largest 10​%.
The hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 90​% from the largest 10% is P90__in.

Answer:

Hip breadths less than or equal to 16.1 in. includes 90% of the males.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 14.5

Standard Deviation, σ = 1.2

We are given that the distribution of hip breadths is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10.

P(X > x)  

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2})=0.10  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2})=0.10  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2})=0.90  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z < 1.282) = 0.90

\displaystyle\frac{x - 14.5}{1.2} = 1.282\\x = 16.0384 \approx 16.1  

Hence, hip breadth of 16.1 in. separates the smallest 90​% from the largest 10%.

That is hip breaths greater than 16.1 in. lies in the larger 10%.

Determine the line described by the given point and slope (0,0) and 2/3
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The  line is  y=\frac{2}{3} x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Point and slope (0,0) and 2/3.

Now, to determine the line.

Here the point is:

(x_{1},y_{1}) =(0,0)

And the slope is:

m=\frac{2}{3}

Now, putting the formula and substituting the value from above to determine the line:

y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})

y-0=\frac{2}{3}(x-0)

y=\frac{2}{3} x

Therefore, the  line is y=\frac{2}{3} x.

There is a 0.9986 probability that a randomly selected 33​-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charge
Helen [10]

Answer:

Expected Value = -$42 (loss of 42 dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question Below:

<em>"There is a 0.9986 probability that a randomly selected 33​-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charges ​$182 for insuring that the male will live through the year. If the male does not survive the​ year, the policy pays out ​$110 comma 000 as a death benefit. If a 33-year-old male purchases the policy, what is his expected value?"</em>

<em />

We can say P(survival) = 0.9986 and thus P(not survival) = 1 - P(survival) = 1-0.9986 = 0.0014

Also,

In case 33 year old doesn't live, the payment would be 100,000 - 182 = $99,818

And

In case 33 year old lives, the payment is

-$182

We know, the <em>expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility with its probability.</em>

ExpectedValue=\Sigma x*p(x)=(99818)(0.0014)+(-182)(0.9986)=-42

This means a loss of $42 (or -$42)
