Among American women aged 20-29 years, 10% are less than 60.8 inches tall, 80% are between 60.8 inches and 67.6 inches tall, and 10% are more than 67.6 inches tall. Assuming that the height distribution can adequately be approximated by a normal curve, find the mean and standard deviation of the distribution. Use empirical rule to explain answer.

Answers

Answer 1

You are expected to use a z-score table to find how many standard deviations correspond to having 10% outside the bounds. It is like having 68% within 1σ. The table interpolates.

I'm sorry I looked everywhere and I still cannot find how to calculate with the data provided. I'm new to stats so any help is appreciated, if there is any more information let me know and I could solve it.

Answer 2
Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that the mean is of 64.2 inches, while the standard deviation is of 2.66 inches.By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of American women aged 20-29 years have heights between 58.88 and 69.52 inches.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

10% are less than 60.8 inches tall, which means that when [tex]X = 60.8[/tex], Z has a p-value of 0.1, so Z = -1.28, then:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.28 = \frac{60.8 - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]60.8 - \mu = -1.28\sigma[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 60.8 + 1.28\sigma[/tex]

10% are more than 67.6 inches tall, hence, due to the symmetry of the normal distribution, when X = 67.6, Z = 1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{67.6 - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]67.6 - \mu = 1.28\sigma[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 67.6 - 1.28\sigma[/tex]

Then, equaling both equations:

[tex]60.8 + 1.28\sigma = 67.6 - 1.28\sigma[/tex]

[tex]2.56\sigma = 6.8[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \frac{6.8}{2.56}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 2.66[/tex]

[tex]\mu = 67.6 - 1.28\sigma = 67.6 - 1.28(2.66) = 64.2[/tex]

The mean is of 64.2 inches, while the standard deviation is of 2.66 inches.

By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

64.2 - 2(2.66) = 58.88

64.2 + 2(2.66) = 69.52

By the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of American women aged 20-29 years have heights between 58.88 and 69.52 inches.

Write a polynomial to represent the larger rectangle and the smaller rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

See answers below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Large Rectangle:  length x width = (x + 3)(x - 4) =

                                        x² - 4x + 3x - 12

                                           x² - x - 12

Smaller Rectangle:  length x width = (x)(3) = 3x

Shaded Region: shaded area =  lg. rectangle minus small rectangle

                             A = (x² - x - 12) - 3x  

                             A = x² - 4x - 12

Solve for x, if shaded reion's area is 48 square units:      

                          48 = x² - 4x - 12

                                  x² - 4x - 12 -48 = 0

                                  x² - 4x - 60 = 0

                                  (x - 10)(x + 6) = 0

                                   x - 10 = 0   or   x + 6 = 0

                                   x = 10    or    x = -6

                                               But x represents a length, so x cannot be -6.

                                  x = 10

Answer:

Flag = 46

Shamrock = 46

Hat = 27

Accordion = 198

Step-by-step explanation:

To keep things simple, I'll denote the flag with f, the shamrock with s, the hat with h and the accordion with a.

The second equation tells us that f/s is 1. When you divide something by something and get 1, that means they're equal (eg, 2÷2=1, 3÷3=1 etc). That means f=s.

The second equation tells us f+s+s=138, but since f=s, this basically means 3f=138. Dividing both sides by three, we find out f=46 and by extension, s=46.

The third equation tells us s+h+h=100. We know s so we can write this as 46+2h=100. Take 46 form both sides to get 2h=54. Divide both sides by 2, we find out h=27.

The fourth equation tells us a=4f+14. Sub in our value for f and this is a=(4x46)+14. Solve this to get a=184+14, a=198.

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms: the 10x and the 2x can be combined making it 12x and then you keep the -3y making it 12x-3y

Answer:

12x - 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do for this question is combine like terms. It isn't wanting you to solve for anything, so it's pretty fast to do. Since the 2 and 10 both have x values next to them, you can combine them. They are both positive, so you can simply add them together. This gives you 12x. Because the -3 and 12 have different values next to them, you cannot combine them. So you are left with 12x - 3y. This is your answer.

I hope this makes sense and is easy to understand. Please let me know if you need any more help. Have a great day and good luck!!

This question is based on the equation of circle. Therefore, the equation of circle is (x - 4)² + (y + 7)² = 81 describes a circle with center (4, -7) and radius 9.

What is circle?

A circle is a closed two-dimensional figure in which the set of all the points in the plane is equidistant from a given point called “centre”. The perimeter around the circle is known as the circumference.

here, we have,

Given:

A circle with center (4, -7) and radius 9.

We need to determined the equation describes a circle with center (4, -7) and radius 9.

According to the question,

As we know that, the equation of a circle in standard form is

⇒ (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the center and r is the radius.

Here, it is given that,  (h, k) = (4, - 7) and r = 9.

Therefore, by putting the given values.

We get,

⇒ (x - 4)² + (y - (- 7))² = 9², that is

⇒ (x - 4)² + (y + 7)² = 81 ← equation of circle

Therefore, the equation of circle is  (x - 4)² + (y + 7)² = 81 describes a circle with center (4, -7) and radius 9.

pounds of dog food do they eat each day?

Answers

Answer:

0.375 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

For this one all you need to do is convert 6 oz to pounds and to do this

For example to convert an ounce measurement to a pound measurement, use a simple formula. Since one ounce is equal to 1/16 of a pound, the formula for the conversion is:

pounds = ounces ÷ 16

1. Take measurement

2. Divided ounces by 5

3. Round the result to desired decimal places.

And don't just put this answer because I am not very sure.

1.875 pounds of dog food can be eaten by 5 dogs per day.

Pound and ounce based problem:

What information do we have?

Number of dogs = 5

Each dog eats per day = 6 oz

Total dog food eaten per day = Number of dogs × Each dog eats per day

Total dog food eaten per day = 5 × 6

Total dog food eaten per day = 30 oz

1 pound = 16 oz

So,

Total dog food eaten per day = 30oz / 16oz

Total dog food eaten per day =  1.875 pound
