Solution :

Given :

The mean height of an American adult = 5 feet 10 inches

Therefore converting feet into inches,

We know, 1 feet = 12 inches

So, 5 feet = 5 x 12 = 60 inches

The mean height in inches = 60+10

                                             = 70 inches

The standard deviation = 3 inches

x = 5 feet 7 inches

  = 5 x 12 + 7

  = 67 inches

∴ z score = \frac{x-mean}{sd}

                $=\frac{67-70}{3}$

                =\frac{-3}{3}

                 $=-1$

Therefore, the man's height is 1 standard deviation below mean

Any score above greater than 3 or less than -3 is considered to be an outliner.

Here its only -1 and it is less than -3.

Therefore, the height of the man 5'7'' is not considered abnormally short.

The vertices of a triangle are labeled clockwise A(–5, 3), B(6, 1), and C(–2, –3). How could you show that the figure is a right
mafiozo [28]

Explanation:

When the points are plotted on a graph, it is easy to see that the slope of AC is -2 and the slope of BC is 1/2. These slope values have a product of -1, so the corresponding line segments are perpendicular to each other.

___

If you have studied vectors, you can find the dot product of AC with BC:

  AC = (-5, 3) -(-2, -3) = (-3, 6)

  BC = (6, 1) -(-2, -3) = (8, 4)

The dot product is ...

  (-3, 6)·(8, 4) = (-3)(8) + (6)(4) = -24+24 = 0

When the dot product of vectors is zero, they are perpendicular.

What is 85.87 rounded to the nearest whole number?
Wewaii [24]
The answer is D, because you move to the right of the decimal to see if that number is 5 or above. Then you round up, (to 86). :) Hope this was helpful.
