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 of the following is a solution to 3x^2 = 36?
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

x = √12

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy:

3x^2 = 36

Cancel out the 3 so it is only x^2; you can do this by dividing each side by 3 which gives you:

x^2 = 12

Square root the entire thing to get rid of the square and you get the answer

x = √12

The greatest common factor of all the coefficients is of 8.

<h3>What is the greatest common factor?</h3>

The greatest common factor between multiple terms is the largest value for which all terms are divisible.

In this problem, the equation is:

h(x) = -16x^2 + 56x + 96

The terms are 16, 56 and 96. Hence, to find the gcf, we have to keep factoring them by prime factors while all can be factored by the same value, hence:

16 - 56 - 96|2

8 - 28 - 48|2

4 - 14 - 24|2

1 - 7 - 12

There are no terms by which both 7 and 12 are divisible, hence the procedure is stopped and:

gcf(16, 56, 96) = 2³ = 8.
