Can someone help me answer these two questions please.

Heights of Women. Heights of adult women are distributed normally with a mean of 162 centimeters and a standard deviation of 8 c

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

a) 6.68% of heights less than 150 centimeters

b) 58.65% of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 162, \sigma = 8$

a) The percentage of heights less than 150 centimeters

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 150. So

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

$Z = \frac{150 - 162}{8}$

$Z = -1.5$

$Z = -1.5$ has a pvalue of 0.0668

6.68% of heights less than 150 centimeters

b) The percentage of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 180 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 160.

X = 180

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

$Z = \frac{180 - 162}{8}$

$Z = 2.25$

$Z = 2.25$ has a pvalue of 0.9878

X = 160

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

$Z = \frac{160 - 162}{8}$

$Z = -0.25$

$Z = -0.25$ has a pvalue of 0.4013

0.9878 - 0.4013 = 0.5865

58.65% of heights between 160 centimeters and 180 centimeters

A test is worth 100 points. The test is made up of 40 items. Each item is worth either 2 points or 3 points. Which matrix equati

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Total number of points in the test = 100

Total number of items in the test = 40

Let number of items of 2 points be x and number of items of 3 points be y.

Now, using the given information the situation can be represented by using the following equations :

⇒ x + y = 40 .........(1)

⇒ 2x + 3y = 100 .........(2)

The matrix equation is :

$\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1\\ 2& 3\end{bmatrix}\cdot \begin{bmatrix}x\\ y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}40\\ 100\end{bmatrix}$

By solving the equation (1) and equation (2), we get :

Solution : x = 20 and y = 20

Which of the following conjectures is false?<br>Please give a counterexample!<br>Thank youuu

MakcuM [25]

Which of the following conjectures is false?

Solution: The false conjecture is:

J. The sum of two odd numbers is odd

Explanation:

F. The product of two even numbers is even.

For example: Let us take two even numbers 4 and 6.

The product of two even numbers is:

$4 \times 6 = 24$

Therefore, the product is also even number. Hence the conjecture is true.

G. The sum of two even numbers is even.

For example: Let us take two even numbers 4 and 6.

The sum of two even numbers is:

$4+6 = 10$

Therefore, the sum is also even number. Hence the conjecture is true.

H. The product of two odd numbers is odd.

For example: Let us take two odd numbers 3 and 5.

The product of two odd numbers is:

$3\times5 = 15$

Therefore, the product is also odd number. Hence the conjecture is true.

J. The sum of two odd numbers is odd.

For example: Let us take two odd numbers 3 and 5.

The sum of two odd numbers is:

$3+5= 8$

Therefore, the sum is not an odd number. Hence the conjecture is false.

Can somebody help me please! And explain I appreciate it!!!

True [87]

Answer:

54 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hexagon = 6

2 hexagons = 10

3 hexagons = 14

Based on the pattern shown above +4 you can create an equation from this to help support finding the amount.

y = 4x + 6

y - total amount

4x - amount that is added by

6 - initial amount for 1 hexagon

Based on this you plug in 12 into x and you will find the answer:

y = 4(12) + 6

= 48 + 6

= 54

If you need to check the work honestly drawing it out, but this equation can also be supported based on the 3rd diagram of hexagon, where the initial is 6 and then 4 are added each time afterwards!!!
