Given:
average height of a basketball player = 79 inches
μ = 70 inches
<span>σ = 3 inches
</span>
<span>standardize x to z = (x - μ) / σ </span>
<span>P(x > 79) = P( z > (79-70) / 3) </span>
<span>= P(z > 3) = 0.0013
0.0013 x 100% = 0.13%</span>


<span>0.13 % of the adult male population is taller than the average basketball player.</span>

A supermarket reduced the price per pound whole chicken by 20%. How many pounds of chicken can now be purchased for the amount o
nignag [31]

Answer:

25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that initially, 1 pound of whole chicken costs x.

So, initially 20 pounds of whole chicken costs 20x.

Now, the price is reduced by 20%.

That means that 1 pound of whole chicken now costs  x[1-\frac{20}{100} ]=0.8x

Therefore, with a 0.8x amount of money, we can now purchase 1 pound of the whole chicken.  

Hence, with a 20x amount of money, we can now purchase \frac{20x}{0.8x}=25 pounds of the whole chicken.

A fishing boat with two people on it runs out of gas while out in a bay. The people set off an emergency flare from a height of
elixir [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

time taken to reach the max height is expressed according to the projectile equation;

tmax = u/g

Given u = 30m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81

t = 30/9.81

t = 3.0secs

hence it will take the flare 3.06secs to reach its maximum height.

Max height = u²/2g

Max height = 30²/2(9.81)

Max height = 900/19.62

Max height = 45.87m

If the people set off an emergency flare from a height of 2 meters above the water, the total height will be 45.87 + 2 = 47.87m
