Answer:
So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 605.68.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
We want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 605.68.
After performing the transformation on f(x) = |x|+7; reflected across the x-axis and translated 4 units up. We get the function g(x) = -(|x| + 7) + 4
<h3>What is a function?</h3>It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.
We have a function:
f(x) = |x| + 7
First we reflect the function f(x) across the x-axis
Multiply the function by -1
F(x) = -(|x| + 7)
To translated 4 units up add 4 to the function.
g(x) = -(|x| + 7) + 4
Thus, after performing the transformation on f(x) = |x|+7; reflected across the x-axis and translated 4 units up. We get the function g(x) = -(|x| + 7) + 4
