Answer:
Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
a. Highest 20 percent
At least X
100-20 = 80
So X is the 80th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.8. So X when Z = 0.842.
Weights of at least 340.1 are in the highest 20%.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
AC = length of flagpole = 12 ft
AB = length of shadow = 14 ft
BC = length from the top of the flagpole to the end of the shadow = x ft
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x,
x² = AC² + BC²
= 12² + 14²
= 144 + 196
= 340
x = √340
x = 18.4 ft
