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​

Answers

Answer 1

(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.

Answer 2

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)

Cylinder A is mathematically similar to cylinder B. The height of cylinder A is 10cm and its surface area is 440cm2​ ​. The surface area of cylinder B is 3960cm2​ ​. Calculate the height of cylinder B

Answers

Answer:

[tex]440 = 2\pi {r}^{2} + 2\pi(r)10 \\ [/tex]

[tex]3960 = 2\pi {r}^{2} + 2\pi(r)h[/tex]

[tex] \frac{3960 = 2\pi {r}^{2} + 2\pi(r)h}{440 = 2\pi {r }^{2} + 2\pi(r)10 } [/tex]

[tex]9 = \frac{h}{10} [/tex]

h=90

The height of the cylinder B is 30 cm.

Given that:

Both cylinders A and B are similar. Similarity applies proportionate size which means we have

height of cylinder A : radius of cylinder A ::  height of cylinder B: radius of cylinder B

or symbolically we have:

[tex]$\frac{h_1}{r_1} = \frac{h_2}{r_2}$\\[/tex]

or we can say we have:

[tex]r_2 = h_2\times\dfrac{r_1}{h_1} \\[/tex]                    

Now it is given that Cylinder A's height [tex]h_1[/tex] is 10 cm and surface area is [tex]400\rm \;cm^2[/tex]

Thus from the formula of surface area of cylinder , we have below equation for cylinder A:

[tex]2\pi \times r_1 \times 10 = 440\\or\\r_1 = \dfrac{440}{20\pi}\\\\r_1 \approx 7 \rm\: cm\\\\\\[/tex]

Also given surface area of cylinder B is 3960 [tex]\rm cm^2[/tex], thus:

[tex]2\times \pi\times r_2 \times h_2 = 3960\\\\\2\times\pi\times (h_2\times\dfrac{r_1}{h_1})\times h_2= 3960\\\\2\times\pi\times (h_2\times\dfrac{7}{10})\times h_2 = 3960\\or\\ (h_2)^2 = \dfrac{39600}{2\times\pi\times7}\\\\or\\h_2 = 30 \rm \;cm.[/tex]

Thus height of the cylinder B is 30 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the sequence, the defining formula is given as;

an = Previous term + 9

So a2 will be -5 + 9 = 4

a3 will be 4 + 9 = 13

a4 will be 13 + 9 = 22

a5 will be 22 + 9 = 31

So the sequence of numbers will be;

Sarah has $12.45 in quarters and nickels. She has 39 more nickels than quarters.

How many of each coin does she have?

Answers

Answer:

There are 14 nickes, 24 dimes and 48 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of nickels.

As she has 10 more dimes than nickels, the number of dimes is x + 10.

As she has twice as many quarters as dimes, the number of quarters is 2(x + 10)

the total value is $15.10, so I get an equation:

0.05x + 0.1*(x + 10) + 0.25*2(x + 10) = 15.10

0.05x + 0.1x + 1 + 0.5x + 5 = 15.10

0.65x = 9.1

x = 14

x + 10 = 24

2(x + 10) = 48

Two men can do a work in 4 days and 6 days respectively how many days will it take if they work togatherpls tell with steps ill mark brainlist

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 12/5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The First Man (FM) takes 4 days to complete the work

In one day he does (1/4)th portion of the work

The Second Man (SM) takes 6 days to complete the work

In one day he does (1/6)th portion of the work

The FM and SM together do [ (1/4 ) + ( 1/6) ] th portion of the work

So , [ (3+2 )/12] = ( 5 / 12 ) = 5/12 th portion in one day

Hence, FM and SM together complete the work in 12/5 = 2.4 days


Sally is 6 years older than Ali. Together the sum of their ages is 34. How old is each of them?

Answers

Answer:

34-6=?

Step-by-step explanation:

34-6=?

Answer:

Ali is 14

Sally is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call Sally S.

let's call Ali A.

using what's given, you can make this equation:

A + 6 = S

(because Ali is 6 years younger than Sally)

you can also make this equation:

A + S = 34

(because the sum of their ages is 34)

now, substitute S for A + 6.

A + A + 6 = 34

2A + 6 = 34

subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

2A + 6 - 6 = 34 - 6

2A = 34 - 6

2A = 28

divide both sides of the equation by 2

2A/2 = 28/2

A = 28/2

A = 14

almost done! now you just need to substitute A for 14 in the first equation.

A + 6 = s

14 + 6 = s

20 = s

Ali is 14

Sally is 20

TIME REMAINING 01:37:16 Absalom states that 0 is a rational number. Which is a correct explanation for this statement? The number 0 is a whole number, which is part of the rational numbers. The number 0 is the center of the number line. The number 0 is a natural number, which is part of the rational numbers. The number 0 cannot be written as a fraction.

Answers

Answer:

The number 0 is a whole number, which is part of the rational numbers, is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absalom states that 0 is a rational number.

As the whole numbers are 0,1,2,3,... which is starting from 0, so the stated number 0 is a part of the whole number.

As all the whole number are rational numbers, so 0 is a rational number

Hence, the explanation (i) which is,

The number 0 is a whole number, which is part of the rational numbers, is correct.

The naturals numbers are 1,2,3,... which starts from 1, so 0 is not a part of the natural number, and the number 0 can be written as a fraction like [tex]0=\frac {0}{1}[/tex].

Hence, statement (ii) The number 0 is a natural number, which is part of the rational numbers as well as the statement (iii) The number 0 cannot be written as a fraction, are wrong.

Answer:

The number 0 is a whole number, which is part of the rational numbers.

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Quadrilateral EFGH is a scaled copy of quadrilateral ABCD. Select all of the true statements.

A. Segment EF is twice as long as segment AB.

B. Segment CD is twice as long as segment FG

C. The measure of angle HEF is twice the measure of angle DAB

D. The length of segment EH is 16 units.

E. The area of EFGH is twice the area of ABCD.

Answer: A. Segment EF is twice as long as segment AB

              D. The length of segment EH is 16 units

              E. The area of EFGH is twice the area of ABCD

Step-by-step explanation: One quadrilateral which is scaled copy of another quadrilateral means both quadrilateral are similar, i.e., they have congruent angles (same angles) but different sides lengths.

Comparing side GH with side CD, you notice GH's length is twice the side CD. This relationship between each corresponding sides is called scale factor.

Analysing statements above:

A. This statement is correct because segments EF and AB are corresponding sides, so EF will be twice as much as AB;

B. This is incorrect because they are not corresponding sides, so they are not related;

C. Is incorrect because measure of angle in similar quadrilateral has the exact same angle;

D. Statement is correct because if segment AD is 8 units, the corresponding segment EH will be:

EH = 2 x 8 = 16 units

E. Tis statement is correct because area of quadrilateral ABCD is proportional to the area of quadrilateral EFGH by the scale factor, therefore, area of EFGH is twice the area of ABCD.
