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

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

  11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² + 10² = 15²

  d² = 225 -100 = 125

  d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet

The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building

Y=x-3 what is my answer
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

x = 3 or y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, substitute y with a 0.

0=x-3. Minus the x on both sides and x will equal 3

To find y, substitute x with a 0.

y=0-3. 0-3 equals -3 which means that y will equal -3
