Answer:

73.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for this using z score formula.

z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

x = unknown = randomly selected male's height

μ = 70.3 inches

σ = 4.1 inches

z = is not given but we are given its percentile which is 75

The z score for a 75th percentile = 0.674

Hence,

0.674 = x - 70.3/4.1

Cross Multiply

0.674 × 4.1 = x - 70.3

2.7634 = x - 70.3

x = 70.3 + 2.7634

x = 73.0634 inches

The height of the randomly selected male = 73.0634

Therefore, the height of the randomly selected male to the nearest tenth of an inch is 73.1 inches

Solution:

Given,

Volume of the-

First cube box=1728 in³

Second cube box=13824in³

We know that volume of cube =a³

So for the first box

a³= 1728 in³

a= 12 in

Now, surface area of the first box

6a²= 6×(12)²

= 864 in²

and for the second box

b³= 13824 in³

b= 24 in

Now, the surface area of the second box

6b²= 6×(24)²

= 3456 in²

Now, the ratio of the surface area of first box to the second box will be

864:3456

=1:4

The surface area of the larger of two boxes is

3456 in²
