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

Which points are on the graph of g(x) = (1/5)^x
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A) The point( -1 , 5)  is satisfies the  given graph  g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

B) The point( 3 , 1/125)  is satisfies the  given graph  g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:-</em></u>

Given graph  

               y =      g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

Put the point ( -1 , 5)

Put y =5 and x =-1

            5 = (\frac{1}{5} )^{-1} = 5

The point( -1 , 5)  is satisfies the  given graph

ii)

Given graph  

               y =      g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

             \frac{1}{125}  = (\frac{1}{5} )^{3} = \frac{1}{125}

The point( 3 , 1/125)  is satisfies the  given graph  g(x) = (\frac{1}{5} )^{x}

Is this statement true or false 5/12 = 2/6
AveGali [126]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

6*2= 12

So to get common denominators, you would need to divide 5/12 by 2 OF multiply 2/6 by 2

For the sake of ease just multiply 2/6 by 2, this will equal 4/12 NOT 5/12

Hope this helps! :)

Kendal bought x boxes of cookies to bring to a party. Each box contains 12 cookies. She decides to keep two boxes for herself. S
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes
