(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.
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)

On Monday, you run treadmill for 1/2 hour at x miles per hour. On Tuesday, you walk the same distance on the treadmill, at 2 mph slower, and it takes you 3/4 hour.
How many miles did you run on the treadmill on Monday?
Distance = rate * time
Let r = rate
Distance is the same for both runs, so:
.5r = D = 3/4(r - 2)
Distribute (and convert .5):
2/4r = 3/4r - 3/2
Subtract 3/4 r from both sides:
-1/4r = -3/2
Multiply both sides by -4 to get a solitary r:
r = -3 * -4 / 2
r = 3 * 2
r = 6 miles per hour
.5 hours * 6 mi/hr = 3 miles
check:
6 - 2 = 4
3/4 hours * 4 mi/hr = 3 miles

Casey bought 3/8 pound of plums and 5/12 pound of bananas. How many pounds of fruit did he buy?
Answer:
19/24 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total number of pounds, we should add 3/8 and 5/12. They both have different denominators, so we have to find the least common multiple between 12 and 8. The least common multiple between 12 and 8 is 24. 12 should be multiplied by 2 to get 24 (5 too) and 8 should be multiplied by 3 to get 24 (3 too).

A mobile dealer sells a mobile at a discount of 25% on its marked price and earns a profit of 10%. If the marked price of the mobile is 8800, what will be the cost price of the mobile? 6075
Discount = 25% .
Profit = 10%.
Marked price of mobile = Rs.8800.
Find :Cost Price of the mobile
Solution :As we know that, their is no direct relation between Mark price and cost price . so we have to work on selling price of the mobile.
So,
→ MP of mobile = Rs.8800
→ Discount = 25% .
than,
→ SP of mobile = MP * (100 - discount%) / 100
→ SP of mobile = 8800 * (100 - 25) / 100
→ SP of mobile = 88 * 75
→ SP of mobile = Rs.6600 .
Now,
→ SP of mobile = Rs.6600
→ Profit % = 10% .
than,
→ CP of mobile = SP * 100 / (100 + Profit%)
→ CP of mobile = 6600 * 100 / (100 + 10)
→ CP of mobile = (6600 * 100) / 110
→ CP of mobile = 60 * 100
→ CP of mobile = Rs.6000 . (Ans.)
Hence , Cost Price of the mobile is Rs.6000.

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The cost price of the mobile phone is 6,000.
What are Percentages?A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.
Let the cost price of the mobile be represented by x.
Given that dealer earn profit of 10% on its cost price, therefore, we can write the selling price of the mobile as,
Selling price = Cost price + Profit
= x + 10% of x
= 1.10x
Also, given that the mobile dealer sells a mobile at a discount of 25% on its marked price. Therefore, we can write the selling price as,
Selling price = Marked price - Discount
= Marked price - 25% of marked price
= 8,800 - 25% of 8,800
= 8,800 - 0.25(8,800)
= 8,800 - 2,200
= 6,600
Now, Comparing the sales price we got from above two equation, therefore, the cost price of the mobile can be written as,
1.10x = 6,600
x = 6,600/1.10
x = 6,000
Hence, the cost price of the mobile phone is 6,000.

While on spring break, Kayla decided she wanted to go parasailing She was held at a constant angle above the water by a large tow rope attached to the back of the boat. The length of the tow rope is 240 meters. If the angle of the rope keeps Kayla at a horizontal distance of 181 meters away from the boat, how high above the boat is Kayla?
Answer:
157.6m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Horizontal distance = 181m
Length of the rope =240m
To know how high above Kayla was, we will use the Pythagoras theorem.
According to the theorem;
d² = x²+y²
x is the horizontal distance
y is the vertical distance
d is the length of the rope
Substitute
240² = 181²+y²
y² = 240²-181²
y² = 24839
y = √24839
y = 157.6m
Hence the boat is 157.6m above Kayla

Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify 2m + 5 - 3m to -m+ 5
-m + 5 = 7
Regroup terms.

Subtract 5 from both sides.
-m = 7 - 5
Simplify 7 - 5 to 2
-m = 2
Multiply both sides by -1
m = -2
Anne works for a company that manufactures liquid dyes for clothing. She currently wants to mix up some 30%-concentrated red dye. She has 66 gallons of 21%-concentrated red dye, as well as plenty of 51%-concentrated red dye. How many gallons of the 51%-concentrated red dye will Anne need to add to the 21%-concentrated red dye to make a batch with a concentration of 30%?
Answer:
28.29 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the available amount of 21%-concentrated red dye= 66 gallons.
Let x gallons of 51%-concentrated red dyes to be mixed with 56 gallons of 21%-concentrated red dye to get 30%-concentrated red dyes.
Total amount of the resulting mixture = 66 + x gallons.
Amount of red dyes in the mixture = (21% of 66) + (51% of x)
To get the resulting mixture as 30%-concentrated red dyes, we have
30% of (66+x) = (21% of 66) + (51% of x)
[tex]\Rightarrow 30(66+x)=21\times66+51x\\ \Rightarrow 30\times 66 +30x= 21\times66+51x\\\Rightarrow 51x-30x=66(30-21)\\\Rightarrow 21x=66\times 9\\\Rightarrow x = 28.29[/tex]
Hence, the amount of 51%-concentration red dyes to be mixed = 28.29 gallons.
