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

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Allow me to rewrite your question and hope it will fit the original one:

<em>Jackson recorded the growth of a plant over 10 weeks. The equation </em><em>y=0.25x+4</em><em> represents the height y in inches over time x in weeks what does the y intercept represent In terms of the situation</em>

My answer:

As we know that y intercept is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis (the value of x =0)

So in this situation, if x= 0, it means the height of the tree (y-intercept) initially be at 4 at week 0.

Hope it will find you well.

It is recommended that an adult drink 64 fluid ounces of water every day .Josey has already consumed 700 millimeters of water.ho
Reptile [31]

We know, 1 ounce = 29.57 ml

so, 64 ounces = 1892.71 ml

so, remaining drink would be: 1892.71-700 = 1192.71 ml
