Adult male heights are a normal random variable with mean 69 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. Find the height, to the nearest inch, for which only 8 percent of adult males are taller (i. find the 92nd percentile)
Answers
Answer:
The height (corresponding to the [tex] \\ 92^{nd}[/tex] percentile) is (to the nearest inch) 73 inches (and, approximately, only 8% of adult males are taller than this height.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Roughly speaking, the [tex] \\ 92^{nd}[/tex] percentile is the x value (in the distribution) for which 92% of the observations in the [normal] distribution are below this x value, and 8% of the observations are above this x value.
To answer this question, we already know that:
Heights are a normal random variable, i.e, it follows a normal distribution.The mean for this distribution is [tex] \\ \mu = 69[/tex] inches.The standard deviation is [tex] \\ \sigma = 3[/tex] inches.Strategy for solving the question
For solving this, we have to use here the following key concepts: z-scores, the cumulative standard normal distribution, and the cumulative standard normal table.
Z-scores
To find the [tex] \\ 92^{nd}[/tex] percentile, we can use z-scores or standardized values. A z-score is a value that tells us the distance in standard deviations units from the mean. When the z-score is positive, it means that the value is above the mean. A negative indicates that the z-score is below the mean. The formula to obtain a z-score is as follows:
[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] [1]
Where
z is the z-score.x is the raw score.[tex] \\ \mu[/tex] is the mean.[tex] \\ \sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation.Cumulative standard normal distribution and corresponding table
We still need to know the corresponding z-score, z, for the cumulative probability of 92%. For this, we have to consult the standard normal table, available on the Internet or in any Statistics books.
In this case, we look in the different columns of the standard normal table a probability value (exact or approximate) to 0.92 and then find the value for z that corresponds to this probability. The value for z is between 1.40 (0.91924) and 1.41 (0.92073).
Using z = 1.40 in [1], we have:
[tex] \\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex] \\ 1.40 = \frac{x - 69}{3}[/tex]
Then, solving for x:
Multiplying by 3 at each side of the equation:
[tex] \\ 1.40 * 3 = x - 69[/tex]
Adding 69 at both sides of the equation:
[tex] \\ (1.40 * 3) + 69 = x[/tex]
[tex] \\ x = (1.40 * 3) + 69[/tex]
[tex] \\ x = 4.20 + 69[/tex]
[tex] \\ x = 73.20[/tex]
That is, the [tex] \\ 92^{nd}[/tex] percentile is 73.20 inches, and to the nearest inch, this percentile is 73 inches.
This result indicates that, approximately, 92% of the heights are below 73 inches, and only 8% of heights are taller than this height.
The shaded area in the graph below shows an area of 0.08076 (8.076%) for 73.20 inches.

A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has eight identical components, each with a probability of 0.45 of failing in less than 1,000 hours. The sub system will operate if any four of the eight components are operating. Assume that the components operate independently. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
Required:
Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.
Answers
Answer:
0.7396 = 73.96% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they fail in less than 1000 hours, or they do not. The components operate independently. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Eight components:
This means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]
Probability of 0.45 of failing in less than 1,000 hours.
So 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 probability of working for longer than 1000 hours, which means that [tex]p = 0.55[/tex]
Find the probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.
We need at least four of the components operating. So
[tex]P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{8,4}.(0.55)^{4}.(0.45)^{4} = 0.2627[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{8,5}.(0.55)^{5}.(0.45)^{3} = 0.2568[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{8,6}.(0.55)^{6}.(0.45)^{2} = 0.1569[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 7) = C_{8,7}.(0.55)^{7}.(0.45)^{1} = 0.0548[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 8) = C_{8,8}.(0.55)^{8}.(0.45)^{0} = 0.0084[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) = 0.2627 + 0.2568 + 0.1569 + 0.0548 + 0.0084 = 0.7396[/tex]
0.7396 = 73.96% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

A. Shift down 2 units.
B. Vertically stretch by a factor of 4.
O c. Horizontally stretch by a factor of 4.
O D. Shift left 2 units.
Answers
Answer:
A. Shift down 2 units.
B. Vertically stretch by a factor of 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function
f(x)=x
If we stretch y vertically by a factor of m, we have: y=m·f (x)
Therefore:
Vertically stretching f(x) by a factor of 4, we have: 4x.
Next, if we take down f(x) by k units we have: y= f(x)-k
Therefore: Taking down 4x by 2 units, we obtain:
g(x)=4x-2
Therefore, Options A and B applies.

Answers
Answer:
12√2 feet ≈ 16.97 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
For the dimensions shown in the attached diagram, the distance "a" along the ladder from the ground to the fence is ...
a = (6 ft)/sin(x) = (6 ft)/sin(0.82) ≈ 8.206 ft
The distance along the ladder from the top of the fence to the wall is ...
b = (6 ft)/cos(x) = (6 ft)/cos(0.82) ≈ 8.795 ft
__
In general, the distance along the ladder from the ground to the wall is ...
L(x) = a +b
L(x) = 6/sin(x) +6/cos(x)
This distance will be shortest for the case where the derivative with respect to x is zero.
L'(x) = 6(-cos(x)/sin(x)² +sin(x)/cos(x)²) = 6(sin(x)³ -cos(x)³)/(sin(x)²cos(x²))
This will be zero when the numerator is zero:
0 = 6(sin(x) -cos(x))(1 -sin(x)cos(x))
The last factor is always positive, so the solution here is ...
sin(x) = cos(x) ⇒ x = π/4
And the length of the shortest ladder is ...
L(π/4) = 6√2 + 6√2
L(π/4) = 12√2 . . . . feet

The successful development of these two energy sources are statistically independent. Determine the following: a. The probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years. b. The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Denote the event of commercially availability of f_uel cell technology as F_, commercial availability of solar power technology as S
Write the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources in the next 10 years
P(energy supplied) = P(S ∪ F) -----(1)
Rewrite eqn (1)
P(energy supplied) = P(S) + P(F) - P(F) P(S) ----(2)
substitute 0.85 for P(S) and 0,7 for P(F) in eqn (2) to find the probability of energy supplied by these energy sources
P(energy supplied) = 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.7 * 0.85)
= 0.85 + 0.7 - (0.595)
= 1.55 - 0.595
= 0.955
Therefore, the probability that there will be energy supplied by these two alternative sources in the next 10 years is 0.955
B) write the probability of only one source of energy available
P(only one source of energy available) = [tex]P(\bar F S)[/tex] ∪ [tex]P( \bar S F)[/tex] ---(3)
Rewrite the equation (3)
P(only one source of energy available) =
[tex]=P(\bar F S)+P(\bar S F)\\\\=\{[1-P(F)]P(S)+[1-P(S)]P(F)\}---(4)[/tex]
[tex]=\{[1-0.7]0.85+[1-0.85]0.7\}\\\\=0.255+0.105\\\\=0.36[/tex]
Therefore,The probability that only one of the two alternative energy sources will be commercially viable in the next 10 years is 0.36

Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.
The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

Confidence interval = 90%
z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645
Substituting the values we have;
$2.70+/-1.645($0.93/√22)
$2.70+/-1.645($0.198276666210)
$2.70+/-$0.326165115916

The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Suppose a sample of 1537 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 1184 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level.
Answers
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.2087, 0.2507).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
For this problem, we have that:
Suppose a sample of 1537 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 1184 read above the eighth grade level. So 1537 - 1184 = 353 read at or below this level. Then
[tex]n = 1537, \pi = \frac{353}{1537} = 0.2297[/tex]
95% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2297 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2297*0.7703}{1537}} = 0.2087[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2297 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2297*0.7703}{1537}} = 0.2507[/tex]
The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.2087, 0.2507).
Find the volume of the cone.
4 cm
3 cm
V = [?] cm3
Round to the nearest tenth.
Answers
Answer:
Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h
h = height
r = radius
r = 3cm h = 4cm
Volume = 1/3π(3)²(4)
= 36 × 1/3π
= 12π
= 36.69cm³
= 37cm³ to the nearest tenth
Hope this helps
Answer:
37.7

NOT 37
Step-by-step explanation:
v = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] · [tex]\pi[/tex] · [tex]r^{2}[/tex] · [tex]h[/tex]
v = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] · [tex]\pi[/tex] · [tex]3^{2}[/tex] · [tex]4 = 12\pi = 37.69911 =[/tex] 37.7

Which of these fractions is an improper fraction? 5/3 or 3/5
Answers
Answer:
5/3 is an improper fraction because 5 is higher then 3. So the correct way of writing it would be 1 2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
5/3 is an improper fraction, and could be a mixed number, because the denominator is less than the numerator.
5/3 = 1 2/3
The makers of a soft drink want to identify the average age of its consumers. A sample of 25 consumers was taken. The average age in the sample was 31 years with a standard deviation of 3.8 years.The Margin of error of the 99% confidence interval for the average age of the consumers is a.1.90 years b.2.13 years c.4.10 years d.1.65 years
Answers
Answer:
a.1.90 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:
[tex]\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]
Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex].
So it is z with a pvalue of [tex]1-0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]z = 2.575[/tex]
Now, find the margin of error M as such
[tex]M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]
In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
In this question:
[tex]n = 25, \sigma = 3.8[/tex]
So
[tex]M = 2.575*\frac{3.8}{\sqrt{25}} = 1.90[/tex]
So the correct answer is:
a.1.90 years
Which graph shows a function whose domain and range exclude exactly one value?
Answers
Answer:
C (the third graph)
Step-by-step explanation:
This graph's function has a domain and range that both exclude one value, which is 0. The x and y values are never 0 in the function, as it approaches 0 but never meets it.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
This graph has an asymptote at y = 0 and x=0
This excludes these values
The domain excludes x =0
The range excludes y=0
