Answer:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And we know that the value for z= 5.17

And that means that the height is 5.17 deviations above the population mean,

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)  

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

And we know that the value for z= 5.17

And that means that the height is 5.17 deviations above the population mean.

Can someone help me with these functions
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Function 1:

The starting point is (0,0.5)

As x increases, y increases

Function 2:

The starting point is (0,3)

As x increases, y decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the starting point, we need to plug in x=0.

y=0.5+3(0)\\\\y=0.5

y=3(0.5)^0\\\\y=3(1)\\\\y=3

As we plug in increasing numbers into function#1, the y-value increases

As we plug in increasing numbers into function #2, the y-value is decreasing

7^(x+4)=-34 solve for x
damaskus [11]

for
x^m=y
that means
log_x(y)=m
so

7^{x+4}=-34 means

log_7(-34)=x+4
minus 4 from both sides
log_7(-34)-4=x
