Answer:

a = 200 + 0.253 * 50 = 212.65

So the value of height that separates the bottom 60% of data from the top 40% is 212.65. And rounded would be 212.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

The normal distribution is a "probability distribution that is symmetric around the mean, demonstrating that data near the mean occur more frequently than data distant from the mean."

The Z-score is defined as "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a set of values, expressed in standard deviations from the mean."

Let X be the random variable that represents how a loan officer scores credit applications from a population, and we know that the distribution for X is provided by:

X ~ N (200,50)

Where u = 200 and o = 50

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

Z = x - u/o

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P (X > a) = 0.40 (a)

P (X<a) = 0.60 (b)

In this example, both conditions are equal.

The z value that meets the criterion with 0.60 of the area on the left and 0.40 of the area on the right is z=0.253, as shown in the attached figure. P(Z0.253)=0.60 and P(z>0.253)=0.4 in this scenario.

Using the prior condition (b), we get:

P (X < a) = P (X-u/a < a - u/o) = 0.6

P (Z < a-u/o) = 0.6

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z = 0.253  < a -200/50

And if we solve for a we got

a = 200 + 0.253 * 50 = 212.65

So the value of height that separates the bottom 60% of data from the top 40% is 212.65. And rounded would be 212.7.

You by a t shirt at the fair that costs the owner $12,but your markup is 30%. Tax is 7%. How much money do you owe
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The final price of money of t shirt that I own = $ 16.69

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as ,

The t shirt cost to the owner = $12

The markup percentage = 30%

So, now the cost price of t shirt = 30% of 12 + 12

                                                    = 3.6 + 12 = $15.6

Tax which is added now            = 7%

So, new cost of t shirt = 7% of 15.6 + 15.6

                                     = 1.092 + 15.6  =$ 16.69

Hence , the final price of money of t shirt that I own = $ 16.69   Answer

If two sides in one triangle are 9 and 21 , then the third side might be
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a rule that says that if you add any 2 sides, it should be more than the third. 9+21 is greater than 13. 21+13 is greater than 9. 13 is the only number which if you add 9 to it it will be greater than 21. 12 will equal 21, but it still wont work.

hope this helps :))
