A new roller coaster at an amusement park requires individuals to be at least​ 4' 8" ​(56 ​inches) tall to ride. It is estimated

that the heights of​ 10-year-old boys are normally distributed with mu equals 54.0 inches and sigma equals 5 inches. a. What proportion of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the​ coaster? b. A smaller coaster has a height requirement of 50 inches to ride. What proportion of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this​ coaster? c. What proportion of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part​ a?

Answer:

a) 34.46% of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this​ coaster.

b) 78.81% of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this​ coaster

c) 44.35% of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part​ a

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 = 54, \sigma = 5

a. What proportion of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the​ coaster?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 56.

So

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

Z = \frac{56 - 54}{5}

Z = 0.4

Z = 0.4 has a pvalue of 0.6554

1 - 0.6554 = 0.3446

34.46% of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this​ coaster.

b. A smaller coaster has a height requirement of 50 inches to ride. What proportion of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this​ coaster?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

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

Z = \frac{50 - 54}{5}

Z = -0.8

Z = -0.8 has a pvalue of 0.2119

1 - 0.2119 = 0.7881

78.81% of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride this​ coaster.

c. What proportion of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part​ a?

Between 50 and 56 inches, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 56 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 50.

From a), when X = 56, Z has a pvalue of 0.6554

From b), when X = 50, Z has a pvalue of 0.2119

0.6554 - 0.2119 = 0.4435

44.35% of​ 10-year-old boys is tall enough to ride the coaster in part b but not tall enough to ride the coaster in part​ a

an ordered pair where the x and y coordinate are the same lies in the 1st or 3rd quadrant. true, sometimes true or not true?. ex
Zarrin [17]

The quadrants are as follows:

The 1st quadrant has the points which have both x and y positive and the 3rd quadrant has the points which have both x and y negative. If the ordered pair and the same x and y value, if ons is positive, the other also is, and the same for negative.

So, at first we see that there are point where the x and y are the same and that are in the 1st or 3rd quadrant.

However, there is one special case:

When x and y are 0, that is, the ordered pair is (0, 0).

Since this point is the origin, it doesn't lie on any of the quadrants.

Thus, this affirmative is sometimes true. Every point but (0, 0) that have same x and y values are in the 1st or 3rd quadrant except for (0, 0).

M is the midpoint of segment CS. C is at (-8, 2) M is at the origin. What are the coordinates of S?
ahrayia [7]
C(-8,2) and M(0,0) , since M is at the origin. Let x₁ and y₁ be the
coordinates of S →s(x₁ , y₁)

C(-8,2) and S(x₁ , y₁)
The coordinates of M, the midpoint of CS are M(x₂ , y₂)

a) x₂ = (-8 + x₁)/2 , but x₂ = 0, then :
0 = -4+x₁/2 and x₁ = 8

b) y₂ = (2+y₁)/2 , but y₂ = o, then:
0 = 2+ y₁/2  and y₂ = -2

Then the coordinates of  S are S(8 , -2)

8/7 divided by 5/8.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

64/35

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just the top and bottom number switched.

So the reciprocal of 5/8 would be 8/5.

Now, you can multiply 8/7 by 8/5.

This gives you 64/35.

And that's it!
