Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 175cm

Standard deviation = 6 cm

Percentage of students below 163 cm

163 = 175 - 2*6

So 163 is two standard deviations below the mean.

By the Empirical rule, 95% of the heights are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The other 100-95 = 5% are more than 2 standard deviations of the mean. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, 2.5% of them are more than 2 standard deviations below the mean(so below 163cm) and 2.5% are more than two standard deviations above the mean.

2.5% of the students have heights less than 163cm.

Out of 1000

0.025*1000 = 25

25 is the answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the heights of students at a college are normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = heights of students

µ = mean height

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 175 cm

σ = 6 cm

The probability that the height of a student is less than 163 cm is expressed as

P(x < 163)

For x = 163

z = (163 - 175)/6 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

Therefore, the expected number of students with heights lesser than 163 cm is

1000 × 0.023 = 23 students

which of the following gives an equation of a line that passes through the point (6 over 5, -19 over 5) and is parallel to the l
victus00 [196]
One equation for this would be

y = \frac{41}{16} x-\frac{55}{8}

We start by finding the slope between the two points:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-12-\frac{-19}{5}}{-2-\frac{6}{5}}&#10;\\&#10;\\=(-12+\frac{19}{5}) \div (-2-\frac{6}{5})&#10;\\&#10;\\=(\frac{-60}{5}+\frac{19}{5}) \div (\frac{-10}{5}-\frac{6}{5})&#10;\\&#10;\\=\frac{-41}{5} \div \frac{-16}{5}=\frac{-41}{5} \times \frac{-5}{16}=\frac{41}{16}

A line parallel to this one will have the same slope.  We will use point-slope form to write our equation:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)&#10;\\&#10;\\y-\frac{-19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}(x-\frac{6}{5})&#10;\\&#10;\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x- \frac{41}{16} \times \frac{6}{5}&#10;\\&#10;\\y+\frac{19}{5}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y+\frac{304}{80}=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{246}{80}-\frac{304}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{550}{80}&#10;\\&#10;\\y=\frac{41}{16}x-\frac{55}{8}
