Answer:

the probability that the woman is taller than the man is  0.1423

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

the men's heights are normally distributed with mean \mu  68

standard deviation \sigma   = 3.1

And

the women's heights are normally distributed with mean \mu  65

standard deviation \sigma   = 2.8

We are to find the probability that the woman is taller than the man.

For woman now:

mean  \mu = 65

standard deviation \sigma = 2.8

P(x > 68 ) = 1 - p( x< 68)

\\ 1 -p  \ P[(x - \mu ) / \sigma < (68-25)/ 2.8]

= 1-P (z , 1.07)

Using z table,

= 1 - 0.8577

= 0.1423

Thus, the probability that the woman is taller than the man is  0.1423

Answer: The graph is shown below

The solution to the system is (x,y) = (2,3)

=============================================================

Explanation:

To graph y = \frac{5}{2}x-2, we need two points. Generating any (x,y) point involves picking a random x value to find its paired y value. For instance, if you plugged in x = 0, you should get to y = -2 which is the y intercept. Then trying something like x = 2 will lead to y = 3. This line goes through (0,-2) and (2,3). This line is shown in red below.

The blue line is horizontal and goes through 3 on the y axis. Every point on this horizontal line has the same y coordinate of 3. The x value doesn't matter, so it's not part of the equation y = 3.

The intersection of the red and blue line is the solution to the system. That intersection occurs at (x,y) = (2,3). This means x = 2 and y = 3 pair up together to make both original equations true.

Since this system has at least one solution, we consider it a consistent system.

Let $a_1$, $a_2$, . . . , $a_{10}$ be an arithmetic sequence. If $a_1 + a_3 + a_5 + a_7 + a_9 = 17$ and $a_2 + a_4 + a_6 + a_8 +
vfiekz [6]

So

a be first term and d be common difference

  • a+a+2d+a+4d+a+6d+a+9d=17
  • 5a+21d=17--(1)

And

  • a+d+a+3d+a+5d+a+7d+a+9d=15
  • 5a+25d=15--(2)

Eq(1)-Eq(2)

  • -4d=-2
  • d=1/2

Put in second one

  • 5a+25d=15
  • a+5d=3
  • a+5/2=15
  • a=15-5/2
  • a=25/2
