Schach [20]

Answer:

a. Z = 1.99

b. 97.67%

c. Z = 2.56

d. 0.52%

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.

a. If a man is 6 feet 3 inches tall, what is his z-score (to two decimal places)?

The heights of adult men in America are normally distributed, with a mean of 69.7 inches and a standard deviation of 2.66 inches, and thus, we have $\mu = 69.7, \sigma = 2.66$

6 feet 3 inches = 6*12 + 3 = 75 inches, which means that we have to find z when X = 75. So

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

$Z = \frac{75 - 69.7}{2.66}$

$Z = 1.99$

b. What percentage of men are SHORTER than 6 feet 3 inches?

The proportion is the p-value of Z = 1.99.

Looking at the z-table, Z = 1.99 has a p-value of 0.9767.

0.9767*100% = 97.67%, which is the answer.

c. If a woman is 5 feet 11 inches tall, what is her z-score (to two decimal places)?

The heights of adult women in America are also normally distributed, but with a mean of 64.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.54 inches, and thus, we have $\mu = 64.5, \sigma = 2.54$ . We have to find Z when X = 5*12 + 11 = 71. So

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

$Z = \frac{71 - 64.5}{2.54}$

$Z = 2.56$

d. What percentage of women are TALLER than 5 feet 11 inches?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = 2.56.

Looking at the z-table, Z = 2.56 has a p-value of 0.9948.

1 - 0.9948 = 0.0052

0.0052*100% = 0.52%, which is the answer.

X/5-2=x/2+3 solve for x

Makovka662 [10]

Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer: x = (-50)/3
