Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 99​% of all males.​ (Accommodating 100

% of males would require very wide seats that would be much too​ expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.5 in. and a standard deviation of 0.9 in. Find Upper P 99. That​ is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 99​% from the largest 1​%.

Answer:

16.59 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean value = u = 14.5 inches

Standard deviation = \sigma = 0.9 in

We need to find the 99th percentile of the given distribution. This can be done by first finding the z value associated with 99th percentile and then using that value to calculate the exact value of hip breadth that lies at 99th percentile

From the z-table, the 99th percentile value is at a z-value of:

z = 2.326

This means 99% of the z-scores are below this value. Now we need to find the equivalent hip breadth for this z-score

The formula to calculate the z score is:

z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}

where, x is the hip breadth which is equivalent to this z-score.

Substituting the values we have:

2.326=\frac{x-14.5}{0.9}\\\\ 2.0934=x-14.5\\\\ x=16.5934

Rounded to 2 decimal places, engineers should design the seats which can fit the hip breadth of upto 16.59 inches to accommodate the 99% of all males.

Which equation represents the line with a slope of 5/6 that passes through the point (-2, 1)?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = 5/6

The points (-2,1)

So; y1 = 1 and x1 = -2

The equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 5/6(x + 2)

Multiply each term by 6

6y - 6 = 5(x + 2)

6y - 6 = 5x + 10

6y = 5x + 10 + 6

6y = 5x + 16

- 5x + 6y = 16

Multiplying by minus

5x - 6y = -16

Answer:

Yes

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Reading a coordinate graph
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving inequalities

Step-by-step explanation:

When we plot (-2, -4) onto the graph, we can envision that the point is within the shaded region of the graphed line.

∴ (-2, -4) would be a solution.

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

the total number of possible results is 4×4=16.

out of these 16 only the results

1 2

1 3

1 4

2 2

2 3

3 2

are desired results. these are 6.

so the probability of a desired result is 6/16 = 3/8
