Answer:

The bottom cutoff heights to be eligible for this experiment is 66.1 inches.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches.

This means that \mu = 69, \sigma = 2.8

What is the bottom cutoff heights to be eligible for this experiment?

The bottom 15% are excluded, so the bottom cutoff is the 15th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.15. So X when Z = -1.037.

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

-1.037 = \frac{X - 69}{2.8}

X - 69 = -1.037*2.8

X = 66.1

The bottom cutoff heights to be eligible for this experiment is 66.1 inches.

The table represents a linear function. find the values of a,b, and c. Show your work.
viva [34]

Answer:

The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the meaning of the linear function

- Linear function is represented by a line graphically

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope

  of the line and c is the y-intercept (the point of intersection

  between the line and the y-axis is (0 , c))

- m = change of y/change of x

- We can find m from any two points on the line

* Lets use m to find a, b and c

- Use the points (3 , 8) and (5 , 9) to find m

∵ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ m = (9 - 8)/(5 - 3) = 1/2

- Find a by using points (a , 7) and (3 , 8) ⇒ (or (5 , 9))

∵ m = (8 - 7)/(3 - a) = 1/2

∴ 1/(3 - a) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3 - a = 2 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -a = -1 ⇒ × -1 both sides

∴ a = 1

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (7 , b) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (b - 9)/(7 - 5) = (b - 9)/2

∴ (b - 9)/2 = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 2(b - 9) = 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 2b - 18 = 2 ⇒ add 18 to both sides

∴ 2b = 20 ⇒ ÷ 2

∴ b = 10

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (c , 11) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (11 - 9)/(c - 5) = 2/(c - 5)

∴ 2/(c - 5) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ c - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = 9

* The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

EXPAND:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

\displaystyle  A) 5\log( {x}^{}   )  +   2 \log( {y}^{} )

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to expand the following logarithmic expression:

\displaystyle   \log( {x}^{5}  {y}^{2} )

remember the multiplication logarithmic indentity given by:

\displaystyle \rm  \log( \alpha  \times  \beta ) \iff  \log( \alpha ) +  \log( \beta )

so our given expression should be

\displaystyle   \log( {x}^{5}   )  +    \log( {y}^{2} )

by exponent logarithmic property we acquire:

\displaystyle   5\log( {x}^{}   )  +   2 \log( {y}^{} )

hence, our answer is A
