Suppose that f(x) is the (continuous) probability density function for heights of American men, in inches, and suppose that f(69

) = 0.19. Think carefully about what the meaning of this mathematical statement is.(a) Approximately what percent of American men are between 68.8 and 69.2 inches tall?(b) Suppose F(h) is the cumulative distribution function of f. If F(69) = 0.5, estimate each of:F(68.8) =F(68.6) =

Answer:

(a) 7.6%

(b) 46.2% 42.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)According to the definition of Continuous probability distribution

$f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}F(x)$

$f(x) = \frac{F(x + h) - F(x - h)}{(x + h) - (x - h)}$

$f(69) = \frac{F(69 + 0.2) - F(69 - 0.2)}{0.4}$

⇒ 0.19 × 0.4 = F(69.2) - F(68.8)

⇒ F(69.2) - F(68.8) = 0.076

⇒ 7.6%

(b) Given F(69) = 0.5

$f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}F(x)$

$f(x) = \frac{F(x) - F(x - h)}{x - (x - h)}$

$f(69) = \frac{F(69) - F(69 - 0.2)}{0.2}$

⇒ 0.19 × 0.2 = F(69) - F(68.8)

⇒ F(68.8) = 0.5 - 0.038 = 0.462

⇒ 46.2%

$f(x) = \frac{d}{dx}F(x)$

$f(x) = \frac{F(x) - F(x - h)}{x - (x - h)}$

$f(69) = \frac{F(69) - F(69 - 0.4)}{0.4}$

⇒ 0.19 × 0.4 = F(69) - F(68.8)

⇒ F(68.8) = 0.5 - 0.076 = 0.424

⇒ 42.4%

Please help me i dont know what the answer is ??

Assoli18 [71]

To answer this, we need to use the rules of geometric shapes. An equilateral triangle is equiangular, meaning all its angle measures are equal. Since all triangles' angles add up to 180°, simply divide 180 by three to find the angle measure of each angle:
$\frac{180}{3} = 60$
Therefore, the measure of the triangle's angle is 60°

Next, we know that a characteristic of a rectangle is that each angle must be a right angle, or an angle with a measure of 90°.

Now, all we have to do is use the sum of all the angle measures to figure out the missing piece:
$90=x+60+12 \\ 90=x+72 \\ 90-72=(x+72)-72 \\ 18=x$

The missing angle measure, angle x, equals 18°.

Hope this helps!

Simplify the expression. (16y54y3)12 Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

Simplify the expression: $(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Use the exponent power:

$a^n \cdot a^m = a^{n+m}$

$\sqrt[n]{a^n} =a$
$(a^n)^m = a^{nm}$

$(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Apply the given rules;

$(16y^{\frac{5}{4} +3} )^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Simplify:

$(16y^{\frac{17}{4}} )^{\frac{1}{2}}$

then;

$(16)^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot (y^{\frac{17}{4}})^{\frac{1}{2}} = 4y^{\frac{17}{8}}$

Therefore, the simplified expression of $(16y^{\frac{5}{4}}y^3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is, $4y^{\frac{17}{8}}$

Consider the two functions described below. Function 1 describes the cost, y, to park in a parking lot for x hours. There is a f

Len [333]

Statement B explains correctly that the parking garage charges a higher rate per hour than the parking lot. Statements B and D are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

For the parking lot, there is a flat fee of $7.00 and then a charge of $1.00 every hour.

So if a vehicle was parked for 1 hour charges are 7 + 1 (1) = $8,

If parked for two hours charges are 7 + 1 (2) = $9.

Step 2;

To understand the pricing of the parking garage, we must plot the points of the graph.

The points on the graph are (0, 4), (1, 6), (2, 8), (3, 10), (4, 12), (5, 14)...

So for the parking garage, there is a flat fee of $4 and then a charge of $2.00 every hour.

So if a vehicle was parked for 1 hour charges are 4 + 2 (1) = $6,

If parked for two hours charges are 4 + 2 (2) = $8.

Step 3:

Comparing both the parking lot and the parking garage, we get that the flat fee for the parking lot is higher while the parking charges for an hour are higher for the parking garage which is statement B.

Statement B and D are the same.
