A college football coach has decided to recruit only the heaviest 15% of high school football players. He knows that high school

Answer:

The coach should start recruiting players with weight 269.55 pounds or more.                                                    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 225 pounds

Standard Deviation, σ = 43 pounds

We are given that the distribution of weights is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.15

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43})=0.15  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43})=0.15  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43})=0.85  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z < 1.036) = 0.85

\displaystyle\frac{x - 225}{43} = 1.036\\\\x = 269.548 \approx 269.55

Thus, the coach should start recruiting players with weight 269.55 pounds or more.

Suppose that F(x)= x^2 and G(x) 4/5 x^2. Which statements best compares the graph of G(x) with the graph of F(x)?
34kurt

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

C. The graph of G(x) is the graph of F(x) compressed vertically.

If, for example, x = 1, then F(1) = 1^2 = 1, while G(1) = (4/5)(1^2) = 4/5.

Note that G(1) < F(1); we say G(x) is a vertical compression of F(x).

If a triangle has lengths of 3 ft and 54 ft, check all the possible lengths for the third side
zhenek [66]

MrBillDoesMath!


Answer:  51,53,55,57


Discussion. By the triangle inequality the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than or equal to the third side. In our case,   3 + 54 = 57, so  the third side must be less than or equal to 57.
