Answer:

The interval (meassured in Inches) that represent the middle 80% of the heights is [64.88, 75.12]

Step-by-step explanation:

I beleive those options corresponds to another question, i will ignore them. We want to know an interval in which the probability that a height falls there is 0.8.

In such interval, the probability that a value is higher than the right end of the interval is (1-0.8)/2 = 0.1

If X is the distribuition of heights, then we want z such that P(X > z) = 0.1. We will take W, the standarization of X, wth distribution N(0,1)

W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-70}{4}

The values of the cumulative distribution function of W, denoted by \phi , can be found in the attached file. Lets call y = \frac{z-70}{4} . We have

0.1 = P(X > z) = P(\frac{X-70}{4} > \frac{z-70}{4}) = P(W > y) = 1-\phi(y)

Thus

\phi(y) = 1-0.1 = 0.9

by looking at the table, we find that y = 1.28, therefore

\frac{z-70}{4} = 1.28\\z = 1.28*4+70 = 75.12

The other end of the interval is the symmetrical of 75.12 respect to 70, hence it is 70- (75.12-70) = 64.88.

The interval (meassured in Inches) that represent the middle 80% of the heights is [64.88, 75.12] .

The mean is not the same thing as median
mean=78+81+85+87=331
mean=331/4=82.75
median is the middle number, but you have a par set of numbers, so your median will be the middle numbers 78,81,85,87 , which are 81+85=166, 166/2=83
83 is your median

What is 15% of 60 show your work to prove your answer
Mila [183]
<span>To convert a percentage to a decimal you move the decimal two places to the left. Therefore:

15.% becomes .15

You then multiply this decimal to the number you are trying to find the percentage of.

.15 × 60 = 9.

9 is 15% of 60.

A data set whose original x values ranged from 120 through 351 was used to generate a regression equation of ŷ=0.06x + 14.2. Use
lawyer [7]

Answer:

35.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression equation usually demonstrated as

y=a+bx.

In the above equation y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, a is the intercept of regression line and b is the slope of regression line.

The given regression equation is

y^=0.06x+14.2

The predicted value of y can be computed by simply putting the value of x in above equation.

So,

y^=0.06(352)+14.2

y^=21.12+14.2

y^=35.32

Thus, the predicted value of y for x=352 is 35.32.
