In a survey of men in a certain country (ages 20 - 29), the mean height was 64.7 inches with a standard deviation of 2.9 inches. (a) What height represents the 90th percentile? (b) What height represents the first quartile?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the height that represents the 90th percentile, we would need to use a standard normal distribution table and a Z-score. We need to first find the Z-score corresponding to the 90th percentile by solving for Z using the formula:

Z = (x - μ) / σ

Where x is the height at the 90th percentile, μ is the mean height (64.7 inches), and σ is the standard deviation (2.9 inches).

Z = (x - 64.7) / 2.9

Since the 90th percentile corresponds to a Z-score of 1.28, we can use the above formula to find x:

x = μ + Zσ

x = 64.7 + (1.28)(2.9)

x = 68.9 inches

So, the height that represents the 90th percentile is 68.9 inches.

(b) To find the first quartile (25th percentile), we would use a Z-score of -0.67.

x = μ + Zσ

x = 64.7 + (-0.67)(2.9)

x = 62.3 inches

So, the height that represents the first quartile is 62.3 inches.

What are trigonometric ratios in terms of a right-angle triangle?

We know a right-angled triangle has three sides they are -: Hypotenuse,

Opposite and Adjacent.

We can remember SOH CAH TOA which is,

sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjecen/hypotenuse and

tan = opposite/adjacent.

From the given information AB = AC - BC.

We know, tan = opposite/adjacent.

tan12° = 150/AC.

AC = 150/0.213.

AC = 704.23.

Again,

tan21° = 150/BC.

BC = 150/0.384.

BC = 390.63.

Therefore, AB = 704.23 - 390.63 = 313.6 feet.

An earthquake near New Zealand measured 4.2 on the Richter scale. Use the formula R = log(4) to determine approximately

Answers

The wave amplitude was A =  15849 Ao times stronger the wave amplitude of the earthquake was than Ao.

How to solve for the wave

The formula to solve this is given as

K = log (A / Ao)

Where we have k to be the constant that is measured on the richter scale as 4.2

Then when we put this in the formula, we would have:

4.2 = log (A / Ao)

Answers

Answer:

  See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the numbers for quotient, dividend, and remainder in the area model of 49÷3.

Area model

The number in each rectangle is its area, which is the product of the divisor on the left and the quotient at the top. These can be considered the length and width of the rectangle. The rectangle area is their product.

The remainder is put in the box at upper right. It is a value that is smaller than the divisor on the left.

The line at the bottom summarizes the division. The quotient is the sum of the quotient values at the top of the model, and the remainder is what's left over: the number that is too small to divide further.

what is the probability that at least two of the faces match when you roll three fair six-sided dice? express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

The probability that we get the same faces when we roll 3 fair six-faced dice is 44.44%.

What is probability?

Simply put, the probability is the likelihood that something will occur.

We can discuss the likelihood of several outcomes or the potential of one outcome when we are unsure of how something will turn out.

Statistics is the study of events that fall into a probability distribution.

Therefore, there is a chance that each one is unique:

6/6 * 5/6 * 4/6 = 120/216

Therefore, the likelihood that at least two of them will display the same face is:

1 - 120/216 = 96 / 216 =44.44%

Therefore, the probability that we get the same faces when we roll 3 fair six-faced dice is 44.44%.

A fish swims a distance of 6 km in 5 minutes. What is the average speed in m/s

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6 km = 6000 m

5 min = 300 s

6000m / 300s  = 20 m/s

Answer:

20 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of the fish can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

First, we need to convert the distance from km to meters:

6 km = 6,000 meters

Next, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds:

5 minutes = 5 × 60 = 300 seconds

Finally, we divide the distance traveled by the time taken:

Average speed = 6000 meters / 300 seconds = 20 m/s

So, the average speed of the fish is 20 m/s.

The price for calculating the price to deliver a parcel of mass m kg is price ($) = 7 + 3.5m
What is the mass, in kg, of a parcel with a delivery price of $70?

Answers

Answer:

18 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use algebra to solve for the mass, m, given the delivery price, $70.

Starting with the formula:

price ($) = 7 + 3.5m

We can substitute $70 for price ($) and solve for m:

$70 = 7 + 3.5m

Subtracting 7 from both sides:

$63 = 3.5m

Dividing both sides by 3.5:

m = 18

Therefore, the mass of the parcel is 18 kg.

In the years from 2010 to 2015, the population of the District of Columbia is expected to decrease about 0.9% annually. In 2010, the population was about 530,000. What is the population of the District of Columbia expected to be in 2015?​

Answers

Answer: 506,150

First we must divided 0.9 into 530,000 to find out how much of the population will decrease each year.

0.9% of 530,000 is 4770. Which means that each year, 4,770 people will move the District of Columbia. From 2010 to 2015, that is 5 years, which means that we have to multiply 4,770 by 5.

4770 x 5 is 23850.

Next we have to subtract the amount of people who moved.

530,000- 23,850 is 506,150

This means by 2015, the expected population will be 506,150 in the District of Columbia.

Using the formula of Interest I = PRT and given values the value of P is $5250.

What is Interest?

Interest is the sum over and above the original amount (the amount borrowed) that is paid to a lender or depositor by a borrower or deposit-taking financial institution at a set rate. Interest differs from profit, in that interest is received by a lender, whereas profit is received by the owner of an asset, investment or enterprise.

Given that, the formula is I = PRT

I = $7140, R = 0.17, T = 8

To find the value of P, from the formula

7140 = P * 0.17 * 8

⇒ 7140 = P * 1.36

divide both sides with 1.36 we get

⇒ 7140/1.36 = P

⇒ P = $5,250
