The heights of men in a certain population follow a normal distribution with mean 69.7 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.

15 (a) If a man is chosen at random from the population, find the probability that he will be more than 76 inches tall. (b) If two men are chosen at random from the population, find the probability that (i) both of them will be more than 76 inches tall; (ii) their mean height will be more than 76 inches.

Answer:

a) P(Y > 76) = 0.0122

b) i) P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = 0.00015

   ii) P(Y > 76) = 0.0007

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The heights of men in a certain population follow a normal distribution with mean 69.7 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.

To find - (a) If a man is chosen at random from the population, find

                    the probability that he will be more than 76 inches tall.

              (b) If two men are chosen at random from the population, find

                    the probability that

                    (i) both of them will be more than 76 inches tall;

                    (ii) their mean height will be more than 76 inches.

Proof -

a)

P(Y > 76) = P(Y - mean > 76 - mean)

                 = P( \frac{( Y- mean)}{S.D}) > \frac{( 76- mean)}{S.D})

                 = P(Z >  \frac{( 76- mean)}{S.D})

                 = P(Z > \frac{76 - 69.7}{2.8})

                 = P(Z > 2.25)

                 = 1 - P(Z  ≤ 2.25)

                 = 0.0122

⇒P(Y > 76) = 0.0122

b)

(i)

P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = (0.0122)²

                                                                           = 0.00015

⇒P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = 0.00015

(ii)

Given that,

Mean = 69.7,

\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{N} } = 1.979899,

Now,

P(Y > 76) = P(Y - mean > 76 - mean)

                 = P( \frac{( Y- mean)}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{N} } })) > \frac{( 76- mean)}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{N} } })

                 = P(Z > \frac{( 76- mean)}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{N} } })

                 = P(Z > \frac{( 76- 69.7)}{1.979899 }))

                 = P(Z > 3.182)

                 = 1 - P(Z ≤ 3.182)

                 = 0.0007

⇒P(Y > 76) = 0.0007

Answer:

  (a)  $1430

  (b)  $1340

  (c)  Debit card

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The debit card is funded by Jenny's checking account, so it cannot be used to spend more than her checking account balance. The most Jenny can spend using her debit card is $1430.

__

(b) Amounts purchased using her credit card add to the credit balance. The most Jenny can purchase is the difference between her current balance and her credit limit.

  Limit - balance = $2350 -1010 = $1340

The most Jenny can spend using her credit card is $1340.

__

(c) For a purchase of $1400, the amount available on Jenny's credit card is insufficient. She can make the purchase using her debit card.

3. How many 4-letter code can be formed using the first 10 letters of the English alphabet, if no letter can be repeated?
galben [10]
Abcdefg
There cannot be more than two because there are only two vowels, e and a. But it has to be 4 lettered, which limits a lot of option, so there can only be one 4-letter code.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the equation y=-75x-50, which represents a submarine DESCENDING towards the ocean floor, where y is the depth in feet, and x is the number of minutes the submarine is descending

Since the submarine is DESCENDING, we can immediately eliminate A and C, which talk about the submarine ASCENDING

That leaves B and D

Looking at the given equation, y=-75x-50, -75 is the slope, or rate of change, and -50 is the y intercept, or the "beginning" (where the equation will "start")

Therefore, the submarine will start at -50 feet, or 50 feet below sea level

As x is the number of minutes the submarine is descending, that means that if the submarine travels 1 minute, it will descend 75 feet (-75*1=-75), at 2 minutes, it'll descend 150 feet (-75*2=-150), and so on

So that means the submarine must be descending at a rate of 75 feet per minute

Therefore D is the correct answer

Hope this helps! Good luck on your assignment :)
