Suppose the mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches and the standard deviation is about 3 inches. Assume men’s heights follow a normal curve. Using the Empirical Rule, 95% of adult males should fall into what height range?

Answers

Answer 1

Question options :

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.

c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.

d. None of the above.

Answer: a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :

Mean height = 70 inches

Standard deviation= 3 inches

According to the empirical rule ;

Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;

About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Using the empirical rule :

95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6

Upper limit = 2(3) = 6

(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)

(-6 + 70) and (6+70)

64 and 76

Answer 2

The range of height of adult males in U.S. using the 95% empirical rule is 64 to 76 inches

According to the given data

The mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches

The standard deviation of heights is about 3 inches.

Considering the data to be normally distributed

According  to the empirical rule for normal distribution we can write that

95.45% of the data lies with in the range of

[tex]\rm \mu - 2\sigma \; to \; \mu +2\sigma\\\\where \\\mu = Mean\\\sigma = Standard \; deviation[/tex]

We have to to determine that  using the Empirical Rule 95% of adult males should fall into what height range

According to the given data

[tex]\rm \mu = 70\\\rm \sigma = 3 \\[/tex]

[tex]\rm Lower \; limit \; of \; the\; range \; of\; variation\; of \; height\; range = 70 - 2(3) = 64[/tex]

[tex]\rm Upper \; limit \; of \; the\; range \; of\; variation\; of \; height\; range = 70 +2(3) = 76[/tex]

So we can conclude that the range of height of adult males in U.S. using the 95% empirical rule is 64 to 76 inches

Ms. delilio borrowed 1,200 from a bank for 3 months at 12% annual interest. How much interest did she pay?

Answers

Answer: $36

Step-by-step explanation:

When taking a loan from a bank, we have to pay interest. The Simple Interest Formula is:

Simple Interest (I) = Principal (P) × Interest Rate (r) × Time (t)

Principal (P) is the borrowed amount.

Interest Rate (r) is the percent of the principal to be paid.

Time (t) is the length of time that money is borrowed.

If Ms. Delilio borrowed $1,200 at an interest rate of 12% per year, for 3 months:

First, we have to convert 3 months into years

3 months = 3/12 =0.25 years

Then, find the interest by using the formula

Simple Interest (I) = Principal (P) × Interest Rate (r) × Time (t)

In this example

P = $1200

I = 12%

t = 0.25 years

Then:

I = 1200 × 0.12 × 0.25

I = 36

Answer:  $36

Kevin has $25 in his checking
account. If Kevin has $2.20
less than 4 times the amount
that Molly has in her
account, what is the
amount of money in
Molly's account?

Answers

Answer:

$6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of money in Molly's amount

according to question,

4x-25=2.20

4x=2.20+25

4x=27.20

x=27.20/4

x=6.8

So,the amount of money in Molly's amont is $6.8

Answer: $6.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We will represent the amount of money that Molly has with a m. So it tells us the relationship between Kevin's amount and Molly's amount. It is says Kevin has 2.20 less that 4 times Molly's amount so we could represent it by the equation.

25 = 4m -2.20   solve for m.

+2.20     +2.20

27.20 = 4m

m= 6.8

4(6.8) = 27.20 - 25 = 2.20

which is the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,2) and is parallel to the line in the graph?​

Answers

Answer:

A. 3x - 2y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given line in the graph has the following properties:

using point (2,3)

m = slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (5-2)/(2-0) = 3/2

New line passes through y0(3,2), so use the point-slope form

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

substitute in value y0(3,2)

y - 2 = (3/2) (x - 3)

multiply by 2 on each side

2y - 4 = 3x - 9

simplify and rearrange

3x - 2y = -4 + 9 =5

3x - 2y = 5

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of −2/3 and a y-intercept of 4?

Answers

Answer:

y = -2/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In an equation that represents a line, the number with which no variable is multiplied is the y-intercept.

The number with which "x" is multiplied is the slope.

So in this case, the slope is -2/3; so the equation should be like -2/3x.

The y-intercept is 4, so it is the number with which no variable is multiplied.

So the equation is:

=> y = -2/3x + 4

What is a circle?

A circle is a locus of a point whose distance always remains constant from a given specific point. The general equation is -

x² + y² = r²      (for circle centered at origin)

Given is a circle has a radius of 8 cm.

The area of the sector subtending the angle 150° at center is -

A = (150/360) x 3.1 x 8 x 8

where (h, k) is the center of the circle and 'r' is the radius.

In the given question coordinates of the center A are (-1, 10) and radius of the circle is 2 units.

By substituting these values in the formula,

(x + 1)² + (y - 10)² = 2²

(x + 1)² + (y - 10)² = 4

Given: Circle k(O), diameter US , m RU=50°, m UT=30° Find: m∠RUS, m∠STU

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{m<RUS = 65 \ degrees}\\\boxed{m<STU = 90 \ degrees}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding m∠RUS:

Given that RU = 50°, So Central Angle ROU = 50° too because the measure of arc is equal to its central angle

Now, Let's assume a triangle ROU. It is an isosceles triangle since RO = RU (Radii of the same circle)

So,

∠ORU ≅ ∠OUR (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

So, we can write them as 2(∠RUO)

So,

2(∠RUO)+50 = 180 (Interior angles of a triangle add up to 180)

2(∠RUO) = 180-50

2(∠RUO) = 130

Dividing both sides by 2

∠RUO = 130/2

∠RUO = 65 degrees

m∠RUS = 65 degrees  (Both are the same)

Finding m∠STU now:

In a semi circle (Given that SU is a diameter) , there must be a 90 degrees angle sin it opposite to the diameter.

So,

m∠STU = 90 degrees

From the diagram of circle k(O), m∠RUS = 65° and m∠STU = 90°

Circle

Given that:

m RU = m∠ROU = 50°, m UT = m∠UOT =30°

m∠ORU = m∠OUR (isosceles triangle)

m∠ORU + m∠OUR + m∠ROU = 180° (angle in triangle)

50 + 2 * m∠OUR = 180

m∠OUR = 65°

m∠OUR =  m∠RUS = 65°

m∠STU = 90° (angle subtended at circumference by semicircle).

From the diagram of circle k(O), m∠RUS = 65° and m∠STU = 90°
