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

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

First to solve this get the original amount before his parents gave him $6

20-6=14

So he had $14 after spending it at the batting cages.

It is stated he spent half of his money there so multiply 14 by 2

14 x 2=28

So he has a weekly allowance of $28

What is the vertex form of y=-2x2+4x + 3?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

y=-2(x-1)^2+5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=-2x^2+4x+3

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

Convert the quadratic equation into vertex form

step 1

Factor -2

y=-2(x^2-2x)+3

step 2

Complete the square

y=-2(x^2-2x+1)+3+2

y=-2(x^2-2x+1)+5

step 3

Rewrite as perfect squares

y=-2(x-1)^2+5 ----> equation in vertex form

The vertex is the point (1,5)

Question

Alice skates 2/5 mile in 1/5 hour. Elizabeth skates 2/3 mile in 2/9 hour. How far did elisabeth escape in in 1 hour?

Answer:

The Correct Answer is \frac{8}{9}

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

\frac{2}{9} +\frac{2}{3} = ?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

\frac{2+6}{9} = \frac{8}{9}

Therefore, The Answer Is \frac{8}{9}

Hope this helps!
