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.

What is 3/4 ÷ 1/6? Please help !......
Reika [66]

Answer:

4 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the fractions formula for division, to

3/4÷1/6

and solve

3/6x4/1

=18/4

Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF(18,4) = 2

18/24÷2/2=9/2

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 9 ÷ 2 = 4R1, so

9/2=4 1/2

Therefore:

3/4÷1/6=4 1/2
