The mean height of a Clydesdale horse is 72 inches with a standard deviation of 1.2 inches. What is the probability that a Clyde
1 answer:
Answer:
0.0062
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Mean (μ) = 72 inches, Standard deviation (σ) = 1.2 inches.
The z score is a measure in statistics is used to determine by how many standard deviation the raw score is above or below the mean. If the raw score is above the mean, the z score is positive and if the raw score is below the mean, the z score is negative.
The z score is given as:
For Clydesdale is greater than 75 inches tall, x = 75 inches, the z score is:
The probability that a Clydesdale is greater than 75 inches tall = P(X > 75) = P(Z > 2.5) = 1 - P(Z < 2.5) = 1 - 0.9938 = 0.0062 = 0.62%
The probability that a Clydesdale is greater than 75 inches tall is 0.62%

The graph of y=ax+b, where a≠0, is always a line:
i) increasing if a>0
ii) decreasing if a<0
Consider the decreasing case.
The line is above the x-axis, that is positive but decreasing. At 1 single point it cuts the x-axis, so x=0, and then it continues decreasing below the x-axis.
Back to our problem:
The graph of y=-1/2 x +2 is a decreasing line.,
so it CANNOT be
"positive over the interval (4, infinity) and negative over the interval (-infinity, 4)"
it is
"<span>negative over the interval (4, infinity) and positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>"
the graph is "<span>positive over the interval (-infinity, 4)</span>", it means that the line is decreasing but above the x-axis until 4, (4 not included).
then, "negative over the interval (4, infinity)", which means that the line is now decreasing below the x-axis.
when x=4, the line cuts the x-axis.
