Using the graph and the percentile concept, it is found that:

The 20th percentile represents about 67 inches, meaning that 20% of the people in the group are shorter than 67 inches.

<h3>What is the percentile concept?</h3>

When a measure is in the xth percentile of a data-set, it is greater than x% of the measures and lesser than (100 - x)%.

In the graph:

The x-axis is the height.

The y-axis is the percentile.

When y = 20, x = 67, which means that:

The 20th percentile represents about 67 inches, meaning that 20% of the people in the group are shorter than 67 inches.

Suppose that 70% of college women have been on a diet within the past 12 months. A sample survey interviews an SRS of 267 colleg

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The probability that 75% or more of the women in the sample have been on a diet is 0.037.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of college women on a diet.

The probability of a woman being on diet is, P (X) = p = 0.70.

The sample of women selected is, n = 267.

The random variable thus follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 267 and p = 0.70.

As the sample size is large (n > 30), according to the Central limit theorem the sampling distribution of sample proportions ( $\hat p$ ) follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this distribution is:

$\mu_{\hat p} = p = 0.70$

The standard deviation of this distribution is: $\sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p}{n}} =\sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70}{267}}=0.028$

Compute the probability that 75% or more of the women in the sample have been on a diet as follows:

$P(\hat p \geq 0.75)=P(\frac{\hat p-\mu_{\hat p}}{\sigma_{\hat p}} \geq \frac{0.75-0.70}{0.028}) =P(Z\geq0.179)=1-P(Z$

**Use the z-table for the probability.

$P(\hat p \geq 0.75)=1-P(Z$

Thus, the probability that 75% or more of the women in the sample have been on a diet is 0.037.

The vertex of the parabola below is at the point (2,4), and the point (3,6) is

lukranit [14]

Answer:

A. y= 2(x - 2)2 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex having an x value of 2 means the phrase in paren must be x - 2.

This eliminates B and D

vertex having a y value of 4 is of no help as the remaining two equations will result in 4 if the x term is 2

plugging in x = 3 makes y = 6 in equation A, but not in equation C where y = 10

Please help!

motikmotik

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

x² - 8x = 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Complete the Square: x² - 8x + 16 = 3 + 16
Factor: (x - 4)² = 19
Square root both sides: x - 4 = ±√19
Add 4 to both sides: x = 4 ± √19

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

C) 35

Step-by-step explanation:

$^7C_3 \\ = \frac{7!}{3!(7 - 3)!} \\= \frac{7!}{3! \: 4!} \\ = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4!}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 4!} \\ = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4!}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 4!} \\ = 35 \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: ^7C_3 = 35}}$
