Set up two fractions:
8/x and 3/5
Set them equal to each other and cross multiply to get:
8*5 = 3x
40 = 3x
13.3 = x or 13 and 1/3 feet tall.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Where
and 
We are interested on this probability

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

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 variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and 
We are interested on this probability

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

Answer:
a) 675 000
b) 685 000
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of a town is 680 000 correct to the nearest 10 000.
a) To find it lower bound, we level of accuracy by 2 and then subtract from 680 000
The lower bound is:
680 000-5000=675,000
Therefore the least possible population of the town is 675 000
b) We repeat the same process to find the upper bound
680 000+5000=685,000
