Given:
μ = 68 in, population mean
σ = 3 in, population standard deviation

Calculate z-scores for the following random variable and determine their probabilities from standard tables.

x = 72 in:
z = (x-μ)/σ = (72-68)/3 = 1.333
P(x) = 0.9088

x = 64 in:
z = (64 -38)/3 = -1.333
P(x) = 0.0912

x = 65 in
z = (65 - 68)/3 = -1
P(x) = 0.1587

x = 71:
z = (71-68)/3 = 1
P(x) = 0.8413

Part (a)
For x > 72 in, obtain
300 - 300*0.9088 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (b)
For x ≤ 64 in, obtain
300*0.0912 = 27.36

Answer: 27

Part (c)
For 65 ≤ x ≤ 71, obtain
300*(0.8413 - 0.1587) = 204.78

Answer: 204

Part (d)
For x = 68 in, obtain
z = 0
P(x) = 0.5
The number of students is
300*0.5 = 150

Answer: 150

A members-only speaker series allows people to join for $28 and then pay $4 for every event attended. What is the total cost for
wariber [46]

Given:

Joining fee = $28

Fee of each event = $4

To find:

Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.

Solution:

Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.

Fee for 1 event = $4

Fee for x events = $4x

Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is

y=28+4x

Substitute x=4 in this equation.

y=28+4(4)

y=28+16

y=44

Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.

Compare square root of one hundred eighty and one hundred two eighths using <, >, or =.
olga2289 [7]

Converting the mixed number to a decimal, the correct comparison of the numbers is given as follows:

\sqrt{180} > \sqrt{100 \frac{2}{8}}

<h3>What is a mixed number?</h3>

A mixed number is represented by an integer part and a fractional part, as follows:

a b/c.

In which:

  • a is the integer part.
  • b/c is the fractional part.

In this problem, the numbers are given as follows:

\sqrt{180}, \sqrt{100 \frac{2}{8}}

The mixed number is:

100 and 2/8 = 100 + 0.25 = 100.25.

The square root is an increasing function, hence the higher the input, the higher the square root, as 180 > 100 the comparison is:

\sqrt{180} > \sqrt{100 \frac{2}{8}}
