In 2014, the CDC estimated that the mean height for adult women in the U.S. was 64 inches with a standard deviation of 4 inches.

Suppose X, height in inches of adult women, follows a normal distribution. Which of the following gives the probability that a randomly selected woman has a height of greater than 68 inches?
A. 16%B. 34%C. 68%D. 84%E. 95%F. 99.7%

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%

Pls help me!! I just need help on both of the following questions, a-d on each
Ymorist [56]
I'll do a and e on the first one to show you how to do it

Then See if you can do the rest

a. 6(-3)<span><span>
</span></span>
When your multiplying or dividing with negative numbers; If one of your numbers is negative like the one above, your answer will be negative

So 6 × 3 = 18 ; but since there is a negative on the 3 your answer will be -18

e. -20 ÷ 5

same for this; 20 ÷ 5 = 4, but since the 20 is negative the answer will be <span>-4

You do b, c, d, and f on the first question. Tell me what you get and we'll go from there

</span>Now for the second question <span>

</span>I will do a and d to show you how to do this then you do the rest<span> (I'm inserting a picture with these)

</span>a. 4(-2 \frac{1}{3}) + 7 \frac{1}{6}
First go ahead and turn the fractions into improper fractions, this makes them a bit easier to work with. When multiplying fractions; they do not need a common denominator, all you do is multiply top by top and bottom by bottom.<span>
However, when you add and subtract fractions you MUST have a common denominator

</span>d. (-4.25)(2) + (-4.25)(-2)
remember from the first problem a negative times a positive gives you a negative<span>

but when you times a negative by a negative you get a positive


Now you try b and c; let me know what you get, and we'll go from there!
