Answer:

71.57% of student heights are lower than Darnell's height

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are 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 question, we have that:

\mu = 150, \sigma = 20

Darnell has a height of 161.4 centimeters. What proportion of student heights are lower than Darnell's height?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 161.4.

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

Z = \frac{161.4 - 150}{20}

Z = 0.57

Z = 0.57 has a pvalue of 0.7157

71.57% of student heights are lower than Darnell's height

-7x-3x+2=-8x-2 can you please show your work how
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 7x - 3x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ← simplify left side

- 10x + 2 = - 8x - 2 ( add 8x to both sides )

- 2x + 2 = - 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2

<span>The triangle on paper is 5 inches wide by 7 inches high.</span><span>
</span><span>
If 1 inch on paper is equal to 1.5 feet on paper, then you need to multiply all dimensions by 18 because 1.5 feet is equal to 18 inches and you are getting 18 inches on the real banner for every inch on the paper banner. </span><span>

5 * 18 = 90 inches from the base of the rear triangle.</span><span>
7 * 18 = 125 inches for the height of the rear triangle. </span><span>

The area of the rear triangle will be 90 * 125 / 2 = 5625 square inches. </span><span>

the height of the real banner will be 90 / 12 = 7.5 feet.</span><span>
