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.

Drag and drop a statement or reason to each box to complete the proof.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1. MN≅QP

  MQ≅NP

2. MP≅MP

3. SSS congruence postulate

4. ∠N≅∠Q

5. CPCTC

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As per the property of parallelogram that opposite sides are congruent, in given case of parallelogram MNPQ the opposite sides

                    MN≅QP  and   MQ≅NP.

2. The reflexive property of congruence states that a line or a geometrical figure is reflection of itself and is congruent to itself. Hence in given case of parallelogram MNPQ

                                         MP≅MP

3. SSS congruence postulate stands for Side-Side-Side congruence postulate, it states that when three adjacent sides of two triangle are congruent then the two triangles are congruent. In given case of parallelogram MNPQ, as the sides MN≅Q, MQ≅NP and MP≅MP hence

                               ΔMQP≅ΔPNM

5. As proven in part 4 that ΔMQP is congruent to ΔPNM, so as per the property of CPCTC (congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

                                 ∠N≅∠Q

5. CPCTC stands for congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
