Answer:
The same sign
Step-by-step explanation:
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
(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)

Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in what you know so: 45+15(6-1)
So, following the order of operations, you do the parentheses first so: 45+15(5)
Then, still following the order of operations, you'd multiply from left to right. So: 45+75
Then, you add from left to right, so you get 45+75=120

Is this a function? Explain
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
The only reason a graph will not be a function is if it doesn't pass the vertical line test. In other words, if you draw a vertical line at any point, it will never pass through more than 1 point.
In that case, that is true, so it must be a function.

A 34-year-old woman has a maximum heart rate of 175 bpm. She plans an exercise program so that her heart rate will be between 80% and 90% of her maximum heart rate for at least 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Calculate the desired range of heart beats per minute for this exercise program
Answer:
The desired range is from 141 bpm to 157 bpm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the maximum heart rate = 175 bpm.
She plans an exercise program to reach the desired heart rate which is in the range of 80% and 90% of the maximum heart rate.
So, the lower limit of the desired heart rate = 80% of the maximum heart rate
=\frac{80}{100}\times 175= 140 bpm
and the upper limit of the desired heart rate = 90% of the maximum heart rate
=\frac{90}{100}\times 175= 157.5 bpm
So, mathematically, the desired range is between 140 bpm and 157.5 bpm.
The heart-beats per minute should be a counting number, so, round the upper limit to the lower integral value to be within the range.
Hence, the desired range is from 141 bpm to 157 bpm.

Add m to each side
m+m = -2-m+m
2m = -2
2m/2 = -2/2

The TCMS Mustangs played the GCF Grizzlies. On the opening kickoff the ball traveled 35 yds. The running back ran for 17 yards on the next play. The quarterback was sacked for a loss of 5 yds. The next 3 plays had a gain of 4 yards per play. What was the total change in the position of the ball on the field?
Answer: The total change in the position of the ball on the field =24 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
According to integers, every loss is represented by negative integers and every gain is represented by positive integers.
As per given total run = 35+17-5+3(4)
= 59 yards
Change in position = 59 yards - 35 yards
= 24 yards
Hence, the total change in the position of the ball on the field =24 yards
A triangle has sides with lengths of 7 millimeters, 8 millimeters, and 10 millimeters. Is it a
right triangle?
Answer:
Depends if you are averaging C or not.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem to solve this.
c = √a^2 + b^2
A and B should be two of your sides and C should equal your third side. If C is incorrect, it is not a right triangle. I plugged in 7 for A and 8 for B. The answer was about 10.63. If you are supposed to round C then yes, it is a right triangle. If you aren't supposed to round C (probably not) then no, It isn't a right triangle.

The chess club sold different drinks and snack item for both the audience and participants
They sold 486 items at a total of $2,673
Therefore the price of each item can be calculated as follows
= 2673/486
= 5.50
Hence the price of each item is $5.50

The triangles shown below must be congruent.
Answer:
The question asks if they must be congruent, so the answer is false
Step-by-step explanation:
All the angles are equal
47 = 47
62=62
71=71
The side between the 62 and 71 equals 7 on the left, we are not given the side between the 62 and the 71 on the right so we do not know if the triangles are congruent. We need to have one of the sides be equal for the triangles to be congruent.
The question asks if they must be congruent, so the answer is false

In January Mr Patel's electricity meter reading is 36 517. During the next three months he uses 1 084 units of electricity. a) What is the reading on his meter at the end of these three months? b) In Janurary Mr Patel'a gas meter reading is 51 314. Three months later it is 51 809. How many units of gas has he used? c) Electricity costs 12 pence per unit. Gas costs 8.6 pence per unit. Work out the total cost of Mr Patel's gas and electricity for these three months. Give your answer in pounds.
Answer: 172.65 pound
Step-by-step explanation:
a. What is the reading on his meter at the end of these three months?
January's electricity meter reading = 36,517.
Electricity used for next three months = 1 084 units
Meter reading at the end of the three months will be:
= 36517 + 1084
= 37601
b. In Janurary Mr Patel'a gas meter reading is 51 314. Three months later it is 51 809. How many units of gas has he used?
This will be:
= 51,809 - 51,314
= 495 units
c. Electricity costs 12 pence per unit. Gas costs 8.6 pence per unit. Work out the total cost of Mr Patel's gas and electricity for these three months.
Electricity used for next three months = 1 084 units
Gas used for next three months
= 495 units
Cost = (1084 × 12pence) + (495 × 8.6 pence)
= 13008 pence + 4257 pence
= 17265 pence = 172.65 pound
