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.

Find the slope of every line that is parallel to the graph of the equation x+7y=6
raketka [301]
x+7y=6

7y=-x+6

(7y)/7=(-x+6)/7

y=(-1/7)x+6/7


Since, y=mx+b and m is the slope

m=-1/7
