Answer

y = (1/4)x - 5 or 4y - x + 20 = 0

Explanation

To get the rule required, we interpret the sentence and write it in a mathematical form.

5 less than one fourth of x is y

one fourth of x ⇒ (1/4)x

5 less than one fourth of x is y ⇒ (1/4)x - 5 = y

y = (1/4)x - 5

4y = x - 20

4y - x + 20 = 0

It is determined that 1/6 of the students in 6th grade choose Art as their elective. If there are 384 students in 6th grade, how

320 students. Because you have to divide 384 by 6 which will give you 64 which is the number for the students that chose art and then subtract that from the total students which are 384 and you'll get 320 as your answer for the student that didn't pick art.

[Q71 Suppose that the height, in inches, of a 25-year-old man is a normal random variable with parameters g = 71 inch and 02 = 6

viktelen [127]

Answer: (a) Percentage of 25 year old men that are above 6 feet 2 inches is 11.5%.

(b) Percentage of 25 year old men in the 6 footer club that are above 6 feet 5 inches are 2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Height (in inches) of a 25 year old man is a normal random variable with mean $g=71$ and variance $o^{2} =6.25$ .

To find: (a) What percentage of 25 year old men are 6 feet, 2 inches tall

(b) What percentage of 25 year old men in the 6 footer club are over 6 feet. 5 inches.

Now,

(a) To calculate the percentage of men, we have to calculate the probability

P[Height of a 25 year old man is over 6 feet 2 inches]= P[X> $74in$ ]

P[X>74] = P[ $\frac{X-g}{o}$ > $\frac{74-71}{2.5}$ ]

= P[Z > 1.2]

= 1 - P[Z ≤ 1.2]

= 1 - Ф (1.2)

= 1 - 0.8849

= 0.1151

Thus, percentage of 25 year old men that are above 6 feet 2 inches is 11.5%.

(b) P[Height of 25 year old man is above 6 feet 5 inches gives that he is above 6 feet] = P[X, $6ft$ $5in$ - X, $6ft$ ]

P[X > $6ft$ $5in$ I X > $6ft$ ] = P[X > 77 I X > 72]

= $\frac{P[X > 77]}{P[ X > 72]}$

= $\frac{P[\frac{X - g}{o}>\frac{77-71}{2.5}] }{P[\frac{X-g}{o} >\frac{72-71}{2.5}] }$

= $\frac{P[Z >2.4]}{P[Z>0.4]}$

= $\frac{1-P[Z\leq2.4] }{1-P[Z\leq0.4] }$

= $\frac{1-0.9918}{1-0.6554}$

= $\frac{0.0082}{0.3446}$

= 0.024

Thus, Percentage of 25 year old men in the 6 footer club that are above 6 feet 5 inches are 2.4%.
