Answer:

A. 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 64, \sigma = 4

Which of the following gives the probability that a randomly selected woman has a height of greater than 68 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 68. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{68 - 64}{4}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a pvalue of 0.84.

1 - 0.84 = 0.16

So the correct answer is:

A. 16%

Help with #9 linked above! Please help!
jasenka [17]

y = A(Bx - C)ⁿ + D

A is a vertical stretch (or shrink if |A| < 1)

B is a vertical shrink (or stretch if |B| < 1)

C is a shift to the right (or left if C is negative) → notice that Bx - C is "-C" so to take the opposite

D is a shift up (or down if D is negative)

when C = -3, it is a shift to the left 3 units

when D = -7, it is a shift down 7 units

Answer: B
