Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 95​%of all males.​ (Accommodating 100%

of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​ expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4  in. and a standard deviation of 1.1in. Find Upper P 95.That​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 95​%from the largest 5​%.

Answer:

Upper P95 = 16.21in

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 14.4, \sigma = 1.1

Upper P 95

This is the 95th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.95. So X when Z = 1.645.

Then

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

1.645 = \frac{X - 14.4}{1.1}

X - 14.4 = 1.1*1.645

X = 16.21

Upper P95 = 16.21in

Question 1 of 10<br> What is the x-intercept of the function graphed below?
aleksley [76]

The "x-interept" is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.

From here, it looks like this graph crosses the x-axis where x=2 .

So the point is  <em>(2, 0)</em> .

That's choice-<em>A</em> .

Consider random samples of size 58 drawn from population A with proportion 0.77 and random samples of size 70 drawn from populat
fredd [130]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The formula for determining the standard error of the distribution of differences in sample proportions is expressed as

Standard error = √{(p1 - p2)/[(p1(1 - p1)/n1) + p2(1 - p2)/n2}

where

p1 = sample proportion of population 1

p2 = sample proportion of population 2

n1 = number of samples in population 1,

n2 = number of samples in population 2,

From the information given

p1 = 0.77

1 - p1 = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23

n1 = 58

p2 = 0.67

1 - p2 = 1 - 0.67 = 0.33

n2 = 70

Standard error = √{(0.77 - 0.67)/[(0.77)(0.23)/58) + (0.67)(0.33)/70}

= √0.1/(0.0031 + 0.0032)

= √1/0.0063

= 12.6

the standard error of the distribution of differences in sample proportions is 12.6

b) the sample sizes are large enough for the Central Limit Theorem to apply because it is greater than 30
