Answer:

0.0918 = 9.18% probability that a randomly selected male has a height > 180 cm.

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.

Mean of 170cm and standard deviation of 7.5 cm.

This means that \mu = 170, \sigma = 7.5

Find the probability that a randomly selected male has a height > 180 cm.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 180. So

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

Z = \frac{180 - 170}{7.5}

Z = 1.33

Z = 1.33 has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

0.0918 = 9.18% probability that a randomly selected male has a height > 180 cm.

Find the value of x.
Stels [109]

Answer:

x=136

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles inside a quadrilateral add to 360, so

79+55+110+x=360

Combine like terms

224+x=360

Subtract 224 from both sides

x=136

Find x on this special right triangle
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know than Tan45=1

Tanx=opp/adj

tan45=y/(7\sqrt{2})/2

Thus y=7\sqrt{2}/2

We know by pythagoras theorem that hyp^2=side^2+side^2

x^{2}=((7\sqrt{2} /2)^{2}+(7\sqrt{2}/2)^{2}

x^{2}=(49(2)/4)+(49(2)/4)

x^{2}=(49/2)+(49/2)

x^{2}=(98/2)

x^{2}=49

x=7
