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

. Pediatricians regularly measure the heights of toddlers to determine whether there is a problem. 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.

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.

12.75 - 11.25 = 1.50
11.25 - 9.75 = 1.50
there is a difference of $ 1.50 in allowance between brothers

that means the 7 yr old is gonna get : 9.75 - 1.50 = 8.25 <==

Based on the polynomial remainder theorem, what is the value of the function when x=−6 ?
Vaselesa [24]
ANSWER

f( - 6) =  10


EXPLANATION

The given function is
f(x) =  {x}^{4}  + 8 {x}^{3}  + 10 {x}^{2}  - 7x + 40

According to the remainder theorem,

f( - 6) = R
where R is the remainder when
f(x)

is divided by
x + 6


We therefore substitute the value of x and evaluate to obtain,

f( - 6) =  { (- 6)}^{4}  + 8 {( - 6)}^{3}  + 10 { (- 6)}^{2}  - 7( - 6)+ 40




f( - 6) =  1296 + 8 ( - 216) + 10 (36) - 7( - 6)+ 40




f( - 6) =  1296  - 1728 + 360  + 42+ 40



This will evaluate to,


f( - 6) =  10


Hence the value of the function when
x =  - 6

is
10



According to the remainder theorem,
10
is the remainder when

f(x) =  {x}^{4}  + 8 {x}^{3}  + 10 {x}^{2}  - 7x + 40
is divided by
x + 6
