Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to compare all three numbers, you must change them all to have the same form, either all decimal form, all fraction, or all percentages.
The easiest ways to compare are decimal and percentage, as they're practically the same thing. For simplicities sake, though, let's turn all the numbers into decimal.
Since 0.85 is already in decimal form, leave it as it is.
3/4 can be turned into a decimal by putting it into a calculator, but intuitively you should know that it's 0.75. If you don't know a fraction intuitively, you just need to make the fraction into a multiple of denominator 100 and take the numerator. For example:
Numerator is 75.0, now simply move the decimal place up to to get the decimal form 0.75.
91% can be changed into a decimal by moving the decimal place left 2 places. 91.0% turns into 0.91.
Now that you can see the numbers, just rearrange them from least to greatest
0.75<0.85<0.91
equal to A
Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 4.624.
So then the best answer for this case would be:
C. 4.64
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 4.624.
So then the best answer for this case would be:
C. 4.64
