age have mean height 69.3 inches with standard deviation 2.8 inches. a) What is the z-scores for a woman 6 feet tall? b) What is the z-scores for a man 6 feet tall? c) What information do the z-scores give that the actual heights do not? d) What percent of men are shorter than 5 feet, 5 inches tall? e) What percent of women are over 6 feet, 1 inch tall? f) Find the interquartile range for the height of women aged 20-29.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

X - Heights of women aged 20 to 29: X is N(64, 2.7)

Y - Heights of men aged 20 to 29: X is N(69.3, 2.8)

a) X=6'=72"

Z= $\frac{72-64}{2.7} =2.963$

b) Y = 72"

z= $\frac{72-69.3}{2.8} =0.965$

c) 72' women can be taken as very tall but men moderately taller than average

d) Y<5'5" =65"

Z< $\frac{65-69.3}{2.8} =-1.536$

e) X>73"

Z> $\frac{73-64}{2.7} =3.33$

Almost 0% can be taken

f) IQR =Q3-Q1

Z scores =

Drupady [299]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

see which ones are vertical to each other and since they are vertical to each other they are the same degree then and all of the numbers you already have and the answer from that subtract it from 360 and them divide it by 2 .

64+64=128

37+37=74

128+74=202

360-202=158

158÷2=79

Please please help i beg ill give brainlist

Answer:

$a_{15}=-268,435,456$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find what factor each term is multiplied by to get to the next. To do this, divide the second term by the first, the third term by the second, etc

$4\div-1=-4\\-16\div4=-4\\64\div-16=-4$

The common factor is 4. Using that, you can now write the equation for the geometric sequence in the form of:

$a_n=a_1x^{n-1}$

It looks scarier than it is. aₙ is the nth term in the sequence, x is the factor, and n is the index in the sequence, that's all it is.

Plug in the information we have to get the equation for this sequence:

$a_n=(-1)(-4)^{n-1}$

Then, you can solve for the 15th term:

$a_{15}=(-1)(-4)^{15-1}\\a_{15}=(-1)(-4)^{14}\\a_{15}=(-1)(268,435,456)\\a_{15}=-268,435,456$

Basically, just raise the scale factor to the power of the term you want minus 1, then multiply that by the first number.

An article presents a new method for timing traffic signals in heavily traveled intersections. The effectiveness of the new meth

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

With 89.9% we can say that the mean improvement is between 583.1 and 728.1 vehicles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the effectiveness of the new method was evaluated in a simulation study. In 50 simulations, the mean improvement in traffic flow in a particular intersection was 655.6 vehicles per hour, with a standard deviation of 311.7 vehicles per hour.

A traffic engineer states that the mean improvement is between 583.1 and 728.1 vehicles per hour.

<em>Let </em> $\bar X$ <em> = sample mean improvement</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean improvement = 655.6 vehicles per hour

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 311.7 vehicles per hour

n = sample of simulations = 50

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the mean improvement is between 583.1 and 728.1 vehicles per hour is given by = P(583.1 < $\bar X$ < 728.1) = P( $\bar X$ < 728.1) - P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 583.1)

P( $\bar X$ < 728.1) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < $\frac{728.1-655.6}{\frac{311.7}{\sqrt{50} } }$ ) = P(Z < 1.64) = 0.9495

P( $\bar X$ $\leq$ 583.1) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{583.1-655.6}{\frac{311.7}{\sqrt{50} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.64) = 1 - P(Z < 1.64)

= 1 - 0.9495 = 0.0505

<em />

<em>So, in the z table the P(Z </em> $\leq$ <em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.64 in the z table which has an area of 0.9495.</em>

Therefore, P(583.1 < $\bar X$ < 728.1) = 0.9495 - 0.0505 = 0.899 or 89.9%

Hence, with 89.9% we can say that the mean improvement is between 583.1 and 728.1 vehicles per hour.

You are planning a new production floor. You will need space for eight manufacturing processes and six stockpiles. Each takes 16

mina [271]

Answer:

Total space needed is 3136 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Space required for eight manufacturing processes and six stockpiles.

Each takes 160 square feet.

Space required for 8 process =

$=8\times 160\\=1280\text{ square feet}$

Space required for 6 stockpiles =

$=6\times 160\\=960\text{ square feet}$

Total space =

$=1280 + 960\\=2240\text{ square feet}$

Open space required = 40%

$=\dfrac{40}{100}\times 2240\\\\=896\text{ square feet}$

Total space required =

$=2240 + 896\\=3136\text{ square feet}$

Thus, total space needed is 3136 square feet.
