The air force reports that 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. Part A: A male pilot whose height is 74.2 inches is at what percentile? Mathematically explain your reasoning and justify your work. (5 points) Part B: Air force fighter jets can accommodate heights of soldiers between 70 inches and 78 inches without compromising safety. Anyone with a height outside that interval cannot fly the fighter jets. Describe what this interval looks like if displayed visually. What percent of male pilots are unable to fly according to this standard? Show your work and mathematically justify your reasoning. (5 points)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>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.</em>

<em />

<em>Height of male pilot = 74.2 inches</em>

<em />

<em>We have to find the percentile</em>

<em />

<em>X = 74.2</em>

<em />

<em>Corresponding Z score = 74.2-72.6 = 1.6</em>

<em />

<em>P(X<174.2) = P(Z<1.6) = 0.5-0.4452=0.0548=5.48%</em>

<em />

<em>i.e. only 5% are below him in height.</em>

<em />

<em>Thus the malepilot is in 5th percentile.</em>

Describe and correct the error in finding the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 12, 20, 28.
ycow [4]

Answer: The tenth term is 76

=======================================================

Explanation:

We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)

Plug in a_1 = 4, \ d = 8, \ n = 10 and you should get the following:

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(10-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(9)\\\\a_{10} = \textbf{76}\\\\

The tenth term is <u>76</u>

---------

We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

\begin{array}{c|c}\boldsymbol{n} & \boldsymbol{a_n}\\1 & 4\\2 & 12\\3 & 20\\4 & 28\\5 & 36\\6 & 44\\7 & 52\\8 & 60\\9 & 68\\10 & \textbf{76}\\\end{array}

---------

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in a_n = a_1 + d(n-1) which shifts everything one spot to the left.

Please explain how I find the surface area and the answer please
docker41 [41]
You can take it apart. There are a top and bottom (both the same) right triangle. So you can find the area of that by multiplying 8*6 and divide by two. Then multiply by two because there are 2 triangles.
You are left with three rectangular sides: One 10x10, one 10x6, and one 10x8.
So your whole equation looks like this: A = 2[(8*6)/2]+(10*10)+(10*6)+(10*8)

PLEASE HELP ME IMMEDIATELY
valkas [14]

Answer:

Angle 1 = Angle 2 = 5y -23            (Vertically opposite)

We can see that we have a triangle in the figure

Since the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180,

<em>(2x + 13) + (47) + (5y -23) = 180</em>

<em>2x + 5y + 37 = 180</em>

<em>2x + 5y = 143</em>

5y = 143 -2x -----------------(1)

Assuming l and m to be parallel

<em>angle 1  = 3x (corresponding angles)</em>

<em>5y - 23 = 3x </em>

<em>From equation (1)</em>

<em>143 -2x - 23 = 3x </em>

<em>120 = 5x </em>

x = 24 ---------------------- (2)

Using (2) in (1)

<em>5y = 143 - 2(24)</em>

<em>5y = 143 - 48</em>

<em>5y = 95</em>

y = 19

Therefore,

x = 24

y = 19
