Answer:

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The heights of 2-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of 32 inches and a standard deviation of 1.5 inches.

This means that \mu = 32, \sigma = 1.5

There may be a problem when a child is in the top or bottom 5% of heights. Determine the heights of 2-year-old children that could be a problem.

Heights at the 5th percentile and below. The 5th percentile is X when Z has a p-value of 0.05, so X when Z = -1.645. Thus

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 32}{1.5}

X - 32 = -1.645*1.5

X = 29.5

Heights of 29.5 and below could be a problem.

Seth's father is thinking of buying his son a summer movie pass for $30 dollars. With the pass, matiness cost $4 each.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Seth saved $90.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Find out how much would be spent without buying the movie pass.

Multiply the amount of money that one would spend for each movie, by the number of movies one saw.

8 * 30 = 240

2.Find out the amount that was actually spent

Multiply the amount that was actually spent on each movie, by the number of movies that were seen. Then add the additional cost of the pass.

(4 * 30) + 30

= 120 + 30

= 150

3. Find the difference between the two values.

Subtract the amount that one was supposed to spend by the amount one did spend.

240 - 150

= 90
