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.

5x – 2x + 7 – x = ?x + ?
fomenos

Step-by-step explanation:

5x – 2x + 7 – x = ?x + ?

I need the answer for "no solution" and "infinite solutions".

NO SOLUTION:

no solution because any value you give to x is not solvable, it remains +7

5x – 2x + 7 – x = ?x + ?

2x = 2x + 7

INFINITE SOLUTION

infinite solutions because any value you give to x is solvable

5x – 2x + 7 – x = ?x + ?

5x – 2x + 7 – x = 2x + 7

2x + 7 = 2x + 7

A reflecting pool is shaped like a square with a side length of 4 meters. What is the perimeter of the​ pool? Explain how you fo
True [87]

Answer:

16 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two things to keep in mind at this point, the first is that a square has all its sides equal and the second is that the perimeter in this type of figure is the sum of all the sides.

Knowing the above, we can deduce that therefore each side of the square measures 4 meters and the perimeter could be calculated since we know the value of all the sides, we know that a square has four sides:

p = 4 +4 +4 +4

p = 16

that is to say that the perimeter is equal to 16 meters.

Solve the equation 425x=850
mina [271]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must isolate x. To do this, divide both sides by 425 because that is what x is being multiplied by (and dividing is its opposite). Then, you get the answer, x=2.
