Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that X - the distribution of heights of male pilots is approximately normal, with a mean of 72.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.7 inches.
Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches
We have to find the percentile
X = 74.2
Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6
P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%
i.e. only 5% are below him in height.
Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.
Given function : 
We need to identify a " initial amount", b "growth factor", r " rate of growth".
We know, exponential growth formula
, where a is initial amount, b is growth factor. On comparing with given function let us find values of a and b.
⇔ .
We can see a= 1.05 and b = 1.46.
Now, b=1+r.
Therefore, 1+r =1.46.
Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get
1+r-1 =1.46-1
r = 0.46.
On converting 0.46 into percentage, we get
0.46 × 100 = 46.
Therefore, intial amount a = a= 1.05 , growth factor b = 1.46, and the rate of growth r= 46%.
Here is the step by step answer.
