The heights of American men aged 18 to 24 are approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 68 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. Only about 5% of young men have heights outside the range​

Answers

Answer 1

(Hope that helps (= The given says the height distribution is normally distributed with the mean height equal to 68 inches. In this case, the bell-shaped curve has a vertical symmetry at 68 inches. This means, half of the mean exceeds 68 inches while the other half has height below 68 inches.

Answer 2

The height range out of which only 5% of the young American men (from age 18 to 24) lie is  [63.35, 72.65] (in inches)

How to get the z scores?

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z score.

If we have

[tex]X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)[/tex]

(X is following normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] )

then it can be converted to standard normal distribution as

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, \\\\Z \sim N(0,1)[/tex]

(Know the fact that in continuous distribution, probability of a single point is 0, so we can write

[tex]P(Z \leq z) = P(Z < z) )[/tex]

Also, know that if we look for Z = z in z tables, the p value we get is

[tex]P(Z \leq z) = \rm p \: value[/tex]

For this case, let we take:

X = height of American men from age 18 to 24[a,b] = range of height (the values of X) outside which there lies only 5% of American men.

Then, according to the given data, we have:
[tex]X \sim N(\mu = 68, \sigma = 2.5)[/tex]

where [tex]\mu[/tex] is mean value of X and [tex]\sigma[/tex] is standard deviation of X (both in inches).

Also, we can write:

[tex]P(X < a) + P(X > b) = 5\% = 0.05[/tex]

Since normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, we can take a and b equidistant from the mean, so as to get a symmetric range which makes much more sense than taking an asymmetric range which doesn't comply with the nature of values of X.

Thus, we have:

[tex]\mu - a = b - \mu\\b = 2\mu - a[/tex]

From this result and [tex]P(X < a) + P(X > b) = 5\% = 0.05[/tex], we get:
[tex]P(X < a) + P(X > 2\mu -a) = 0.05[/tex]

Converting X to Z(the standard normal distribution), we get;
[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]P(X < a) + P(X > 2\mu -a) = 0.05\\\\P(Z < z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma} = \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) + P(Z > \dfrac{2(68) - a - 68}{2.5}) = 0.05\\\\P(Z < \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) + P(Z > \dfrac{68-a}{2.5}) = 0.05\\\\P(Z < \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) + P(Z > -\dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) = 0.05\\\\P(Z < \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) + P(Z \leq \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) = 0.05 \: \: \: \: (\because P(Z > -k) = P(Z \leq k))\\\\2P(Z < \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) = 0.05\\\\P(Z < \dfrac{a-68}{2.5}) = 0.025[/tex]

Using the z-tables, we get the value of Z for which p-value is 0.025 as

-1.96

Thus, we get:
[tex]\dfrac{a-68}{2.5} = -1.96\\\\a = 68 + (-1.96 \times 2.5)\\a = 63.35[/tex]

Thus, we get: [tex]b = 2\mu - a = 2(68) - 63.35 = 72.65[/tex]

Thus, the range is [a,b] = [63.35, 72.65]

Thus, the height range out of which only 5% of the young American men (from age 18 to 24) lie is  [63.35, 72.65] (in inches)

in an equation y varies directly as x varies. if y = 55 when x = 22, what is the value of x when y = 85?​

Answers

Answer:

x=34

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put Y and X into a ratio then it will be

5:2

because since their GCF is 11, then we will have to divide both of the numbers by 11.

If y=85 then that means that it was multiplied by 17. If we want them to stay within the same ratio, then we will have to multiply X (2) by 17.

That will get you 34.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

The distribution curve is skewed to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mean = 58

The outlier = 92

Given that the outlier, P, can be found from the following formula, we have;

P > Q₃ + 1.5·IQR = (Q₃ + 1.5 (Q₃ - Q₁)

92 > (Q₃ + 1.5 (Q₃ - Q₁)

Given that mean = 58

Therefore, the IQR, and Q₃ are relatively small compared to the outlier, and the data is skewed, with the more smaller numbers than there are large numbers which makes the distribution curve to be skewed to the right.

An average swimming pool contains 19200 gallons of water. The pool needs drained at the end of the summer. Water drains from the pool at the rate of 12 gallons per minute. Which equation can be used to find the volume, V, of the water in the pool m minutes after draining begins?

Answers

Answer:

V = 19200 - 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool contains 19200 gallons of water.

Now we are told that water drains from the pool at the rate of 12 gallons per minutes.

Now, we want to find the volume, V, of the water in the pool, "m" minutes after draining begins.

Since water drains at 12 gallons per minutes, it means that after "m" minutes, the total amount that would have been drained is 12m gallons.

Thus, total volume V left after m minutes can be expressed as;

V = 19200 - 12m

The equation of the line shown in the graph is y = 4x / 5 -2.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is a tangent angle made by line with horizontal. i.e. m =tanx where x in degrees.

Here,

Points located on the graph that lies on the line are (0, -2), and (2.5, 0)

The slope of the line is given as,

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Substitute the value in the above equation,

m = 0+ 2 / 2.5 -0 = 20/25
m = 4 / 5

The equation of the line is given as

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Substitute the one point (-2, 0) and m in the above equation,
y + 2 = 4/5 (x - 0)

y = 4x / 5 -2

Thus, the equation of the line shown in the graph is y = 4x / 5 -2.

   [tex]P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  [/tex]  

b

    [tex]x =  19.78 \  months[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The mean is   [tex]\mu  =  26 \  months[/tex]

 The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma  =  4 \  months[/tex]

 Generally 2 year is  equal to  24 months

Generally the percentage of total production will the company expect to replace is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(X <  24 )=  P(\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma} <  \frac{24 - 26}{4}  )[/tex]

Generally  [tex]\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } =Z (The  \ standardized \  value  \  of  \  X )[/tex]

     [tex]P(X <  24 )=  P(Z <  -0.8  )[/tex]

Generally from the z-table  

       [tex]P(Z <  -0.8) =  0.21186[/tex]

So

       [tex]P(X <  24 )=  0.21186[/tex]

Converting to percentage

      [tex]P(X <  24 )=  0.21186  * 100[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  [/tex]  

Generally the duration that should be the guarantee period if  Accrotime does not want to make refunds on more than 6% is mathematically evaluated as

    [tex]P(X <  x) =  P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma}  < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06[/tex]

=> [tex]P(X <  x) =  P(Z < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06[/tex]

From the normal distribution table the z-score for  0.06 at the lower tail  is

       [tex]z = -1.555[/tex]

So

    [tex]\frac{x - 26}{4} = -1.555[/tex]

=> [tex]x =  19.78 \  months[/tex]

Suppose Jane's mother replaces the six bags of trail mix. She also provides the group with 18 cans of juice. Each snack pack has the same number of apples, bags of trail mix, and cans of juice. What is the greatest number of snack packs Jane can make? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

six[6] snack packs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Without mixing words, let's dive straight into the solution to the question above. So. the mathematics principle behind this question is what is known or refer to as Greatest Common Factor. The term ''Greatest Common Factor'' with acronym GCF means the highest factor in the set of numbers given.

In this question, we are given that there are 18 cans of juice, 24 apples and 36 small bags of mix trails in order to make snack packs. Thus, we have three set of values or numbers that is 18, 24 and 36. Hence, the question/problem require us to determine the greatest number of snack packs Jane can make that is to find/determine the  Greatest Common Factor.

STEP ONE: DETERMINE OR LIST OUT THE FACTORS FOR THE THREE SET OF VALUES GIVEN, THAT IS 18, 24 AND 36.

The  factors of 18 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 18.

The factors of 24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24.

The factors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18,  and 36.

STEP TWO: DETERMINE THE GREATEST FACTOR COMMON TO THE THREE LISTS.

For the three lists, the greatest factor common to them is 6.

Therefore, The greatest number of snack packs Jane can make is six[6] snack packs

Answer:

That means the total amount of the items bought must be equal to 20 dollars or 21 dollars or be within the two amount of money.

If Mikel buys six bottles of shampoo,  x represents the total amount for the six bottles of shampoo. Then, the compound inequalities for this expression will be x less than or equal to 21 dollars and x greater than or equal to 20 dollars. That is,
