Answer:

0.159

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 100

Population mean(pm) = 50

Standard deviation (s) = 8

Probability that Sample mean (m) will be greater Than 50.8

Using the relation :

(sample mean - population mean) / (standard deviation /sqrt(n))

P(m > 50.8)

Z = (50.8 - 50) / (8/ sqrt(100))

Z = 0.8 / (8/ 10)

Z = 0.8 / 0.8

Z = 1

P(Z > 1) = 0.15866 ( Z probability calculator)

Hence,

P(Z > 1) = 0.159 ( 3 decimal places)

Nonamiya [84]
Since I do not have answer choices, I can conclude things that may or may not be an answer choice. Just from the problem, you can tell that Marie lost more weight, because 175 -150 = 25, while 190 - 180 = 10. Indirectly, you can say that she might have worked out more, or changed her diet, although that would merely be an inference. If you have answer choices please let me know and I can answer more. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine).

marishachu [46]
1. You have that:

 - The homeowner<span> want the length of the swimming pool to be 4 feet longer than its width.</span> 
 - He wants to surround it with a concrete walkway 3 feet wide.
 - He can only afford 300 square feet of concrete for the walkway.

 2. Therefore, the tota area is:

 At=L2xW2

 L2 is the lenght of the walkway (L2=L1+3+3⇒L2=(W1+4+6)⇒L2=W1+10).
 W2 is the width of the walkway (W1+3+3⇒W2=W1+6)

 3. The area of the walkway is:

 A2=At-A1

 A2=300 ft²

 4. Therefore, you have that the width of the swimming pool is:

 A2=(W1+10)(W1+6)-(W1+4)(W1)
 300=(W1²+6W1+10W1+60)-(W1²+4W1)
 W1²+16W1+60-W1²-4W1-300=0
 12W1-240=0
 W1=240/12
 W1=20 ft

 5. And the length is:

 L1=W1+4
 L1=20+4
 L1=24 ft

umka21 [38]
<span>Initial number of the people that belong to a certain social website is 412. It is growing at a rate of 5% every month. It means that every month the number of people is growing 1.05 times. We can calculate how many of them will there be in 9 months: 412 * 1.05^9 = 412 * 1.55 = 638.6. When we round to the nearest whole number: there will be 369 members.</span>
