In a spreadsheet, you can use the function NORM.DIST(upper bound, μ, σ, TRUE) to find the area under a normal curve for values o

f x less than or equal to a specified upper bound. Suppose the heights of all the children in a state are normally distributed with a mean of 41 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches. What is the probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall?

Given Information:

Mean height of children = μ = 41 inches

Standard deviation of height of children = σ = 4 inches

Required Information:

Using Excel find P(x > 34) = ?

Answer:

P(x > 34) = 95.99%

Explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

The Microsoft Excel has a built-in function "NORMDIST" which calculates the probability of a normal distribution.

Syntax:

NORMDIST(x, mean, standard deviation, cumulative flag)  

Where x is the variable of interest

Cumulative flag = TRUE or FALSE

The probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall is given by

P(x > 34) = 1 - P(x < 34)

Using MS Excel,

P(x > 34) = 1 - NORM.DIST(34,41,4,TRUE)

Which return the probability of

P(x > 34) = 1 - 0.040059

P(x > 34) = 0.959941

P(x > 34) = 95.99%

Therefore, there is 95.99% probability that a randomly chosen child is greater than 34 inches tall.

Which direction does the graph of f(x) = −18 + x2 − 3x open?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Please write this equation as    <span>f(x) = −18 + x^2 − 3x       

Rewrite it in descending order by powers of x:  f(x) = x^2 - 3x - 18

Since the coefficient of the x^2 term is +, the graph opens UP.</span>

Based on the scale drawing, what is the length, in feet, of the actual parking lot? On the drawing they have the width 12.8 cm a
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The width of 48 feet is represented by 12.8cm; the length represented by 1cm is 48/12.8 = 15/4 = 3.75 feet.

The length on the drawing is 3.2cm, which is exactly 1/4 of the width of 12.8cm; therefore the length of the actual parking lot is 48/4 = 12 feet.

Which transformations will produce similar but not congruent figures
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The third one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all the other ones does a transformation that doesn't change the size of the figure. The third one is dilated, which means that the original figure is being made smaller or bigger. So the final result will be different from the original figure.
