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

the perimeter of a rectangle is 132 m. the length is 2 meters more than 3 times the width. find the dimensions of the rectangle
Anon25 [30]
2l + 2w = 132
l = 3w + 2

2(3w+2)+2w=132
6w + 4 + 2w = 132
8w + 4 = 132
8w = 128
w = 16

l = 3(16) + 2
l = 48 + 2
l = 50

2(50) + 2(16) __ 132
100 + 32 = 132

If you have 36 ft of fencing what are the area of the different rectangles you could enclose with the fencing?consider only whol
n200080 [17]

The fence you have must fit the perimeter of the rectangle.

With 36 feet of fence, these are the rectangles that you can enclose:

1-ft x 17-ft . . . Area = 17 ft²

2 x 16 . . . Area =  32 ft²
3 x 15 . . . Area =  45 ft²
4 x 14 . . . Area =  56 ft²
5 x 13 . . . Area =  65 ft²
6 x 12 . . . Area =  72 ft²
7 x 11 . . . Area =  77 ft²
8 x 10 . . . Area =  80 ft²
9 x 9 . . . Area =  81 ft²

Given: f(x) = x - 7 and h(x) = 2x + 3 Write the rule for f(h(x)).
azamat
F(h(x)) means wherever you see x in the f(x) function you're gonna plug in the h(x) function:
f(h(x)) = (2x + 3) - 7
= 2x + 3 - 7
= 2x - 4
