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

zhuklara [117]
Quadrant I or QI

This is tough to explain but here I go
If x and y is positive, it's QI
If x is negative and y is positive it's QII
If x and y are negative, it's QIII
If x is positive and y is negative It's QIV

So the answer is C
Hopes this helps :D
