Assume the heights in a male population are normally distributed with mean 70.3 inches and standard deviation 4.1 inches. If a randomly selected male’s height is at the 75th percentile, how tall is he (to the nearest tenth of an inch)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

73.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for this using z score formula.

z-score is z = (x-μ)/σ,

where x is the raw score,

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation.

x = unknown = randomly selected male's height

μ = 70.3 inches

σ = 4.1 inches

z = is not given but we are given its percentile which is 75

The z score for a 75th percentile = 0.674

Hence,

0.674 = x - 70.3/4.1

Cross Multiply

0.674 × 4.1 = x - 70.3

2.7634 = x - 70.3

x = 70.3 + 2.7634

x = 73.0634 inches

The height of the randomly selected male = 73.0634

Therefore, the height of the randomly selected male to the nearest tenth of an inch is 73.1 inches

Let u = (−2, 3, 1), v = (−1, −1, 2), and 3u − 2v − 4w = (3, 2, −3). Find: a. The vector w.b. -2u + 3v - 5w

Answers

Answer:

(a) w = [tex](\frac{-7}{4} , \frac{9}{4}, \frac{1}{2})[/tex]

(b) -2u + 3v - 5w = ([tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{-54}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex])

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

u = (−2, 3, 1)

=> u = -2i + 3j + k                           --------------------------(i)

v = (−1, −1, 2)

=> v = -i - j + 2k                                --------------------(ii)

3u − 2v − 4w = (3, 2, −3)

=> 3u − 2v − 4w = 3i + 2j - 3k             ------------------(iii)

(A) TO FIND THE VECTOR w

Let:

w = (a, b, c) = ai + bj + ck

(a) Substitute u, v and w into equation (iii)

3u − 2v − 4w = 3i + 2j - 3k

3(-2i + 3j + k) - 2(-i - j + 2k) - 4(ai + bj + ck) = 3i + 2j - 3k

(b) Solve the equation in step (a) by opening the brackets and collecting like terms

(-6i + 9j + 3k) - (-2i - 2j + 4k) - (4ai + 4bj + 4ck) = 3i + 2j - 3k

open brackets

-6i + 9j + 3k + 2i + 2j - 4k - 4ai - 4bj - 4ck = 3i + 2j - 3k

collect like terms

-6i + 2i - 4ai + 9j + 2j - 4bj + 3k - 4k - 4ck = 3i + 2j - 3k

i(-4 - 4a) + j(11 - 4b) + k(-1 - 4c) = 3i + 2j - 3k

(c) Solve for a, b and c in step (b)

Comparing both sides of the equation, we have;

-4 - 4a = 3              ----------(*)

11 - 4b = 2              -----------(**)

-1 - 4c = -3             ------------(***)

From (*)

4a = -4 - 3

4a = -7

a = [tex]\frac{-7}{4}[/tex]

From (**)

4b = 11 - 2

4b = 9

b = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

From (***)

-1 - 4c = -3

4c = -1 + 3

4c = 2

c = [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

c = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Remember that

w = (a, b, c)

w = ai + bj + ck

Therefore,

w = [tex](\frac{-7}{4} , \frac{9}{4}, \frac{1}{2})[/tex]

(B) TO FIND -2u + 3v - 5w

Remember that;

u = (−2, 3, 1)

v = (−1, −1, 2),

w = [tex](\frac{-7}{4} , \frac{9}{4}, \frac{1}{2})[/tex]

Substitute u, v, w into the expression as follows;

-2(−2, 3, 1) + 3(−1, −1, 2) - 5[tex](\frac{-7}{4} , \frac{9}{4}, \frac{1}{2})[/tex]

Expand

(4, -6, -2) + (−3, −3, 6) - [tex](\frac{-35}{4} , \frac{45}{4}, \frac{5}{2})[/tex]

Collect like terms

(4-3+[tex]\frac{35}{4}[/tex], -6-3-[tex]\frac{45}{4}[/tex], -2+6-[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex])

Solve

([tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{-54}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex])

Therefore, -2u + 3v - 5w = ([tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{-54}{4}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex])

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\tt -4 \textdegree \ per \ hour }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This question asks us to find the average rate of change in temperature per hour.

Therefore, we must divide the temperature change by the hours.

[tex]rate \ of \ change =\frac{temperature \ change}{hours}[/tex]

The temperature dropped 24 degrees in 6 hours. Since it dropped, the change was negative.

[tex]temperature \ change = -24 \textdegree \\hours = 6 \ hours[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]rate \ of \ change =\frac{-24 \textdegree}{6 \ hours}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]rate \ of \ change = - 4 \textdegree / hour[/tex]

The average change in temperature was -4° per hour. The temperature dropped 4 degrees each hour.

Answer:

Why is college important? It’s a question you may have heard among friends, or perhaps you’ve even wondered yourself about the benefits of earning a degree. And it’s a good question to be asking as you consider your future—and everything that will include, from earnings potential to starting or switching your career. Here are five facts you should know as you consider the value of a college education.

1. People with college degrees earn more on average.

According to averages calculated by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), people with a bachelor’s degree earn around 64% more per week than individuals with a high school diploma, and around 40% more than those with an associate’s degree. Those with an associate’s degree earn around 17% more than those with a high school diploma.

Over the course of a year (52 weeks), those percentage differences add up. For example, if you compare the average median annual earnings for those with a bachelor’s degree to those with a high school diploma, you’ll discover a difference of almost $24,000 per year in income.

2. College can help you expand your network.

Salary is far from the only answer for why is college important. You may have heard this before, but who you know and who your friends know is important. No matter how talented you are, a strong network can help you start and advance in your career.

At an Art Institutes school, you’ll not only have the chance to connect with instructors* who have worked in their fields, but you can also meet students in a variety of creative fields. These diverse connections may well benefit you in the future. Plus, you can also participate in professional groups, community activities, and industry conferences where you can grow your circle even more. Your Career Services department may also connect you with alumni in your field and can continue to provide networking support after graduation!

3. Gaining new skills can help enhance your current career.

Building your skill set and industry knowledge can help you move forward in your current career, and the skills you learn go beyond the obvious. At The Art Institutes, not only can you build your technical and artistic skills, but you can also develop your critical thinking, communication, and teamwork.

Earning your degree can demonstrate to a current employer that you’re serious about your career, and that you’re prepared to take on bigger projects and more responsibility. In the long term, when you apply to new jobs in your field, having a degree can provide you with a competitive edge. Even if the job doesn’t require a degree, your education—along with the quality of your work—may help you stand out among applica

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9 3/4 acres in 3 3/8 days = 9 6/8 acres in 3 3/8 days

(72 + 6)/8 = 78/8

A ball is thrown into the air. Its height (in feet) t seconds later is given by h(t)=64t−16t^2 a) What is the height of the ball 1 second after it has been thrown? b) After how many seconds does the ball hit the ground? c) At what time(s) is the ball 30 feet above the ground?

Answers

Answer:

A) 48 feet

B) 4 seconds

C) 0.54 seconds and 3.46 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

[tex]h(t)=64t-16t^2[/tex]

Which represents the height h(t) of the ball after t seconds.

A)

To find the height of the ball 1 second after it has been thrown, substitute 1 for t. Thus:

[tex]h(1)=64(1)-16(1)^2[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]h(1)=64-16[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]h(1)=48[/tex]

So, after 1 second, the height of the ball is 48 feet above the ground.

B)

To find out how many seconds after being thrown does the ball hit the ground, we'll set h(t) to 0. 0 means that it will be 0 feet above ground level: in other words, on the ground. So:

[tex]0=64t-16t^2[/tex]

Solve for t. Factor out a 16t:

[tex]0=16t(4-t)[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]16t=0\text{ or } 4-t=0[/tex]

Solve for t:

[tex]t=0\text{ or } t=4[/tex]

We'll ignore the first zero. So, the ball lands after 4 seconds of being thrown into the air.

C)

To find out at what time(s) the ball is 30 feet above the ground, set h(t) to 30 and solve for t:

[tex]30=64t-16t^2[/tex]

First, divide everything by 2 to simplify things:

[tex]15=32t-8t^2[/tex]

Subtract 15 from both sides:

[tex]-8t^2+32t-15=0[/tex]

Now, to find the zeros, we can use the quadratic formula. a is -8, b is 32, and c is -15. Thus:

[tex]x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]x=\frac{-32\pm\sqrt{32^2-4(-8)(-15)}}{2(-8)}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]x=\frac{32\pm\sqrt{544}}{16}[/tex]

Use a calculator. Approximate:

[tex]x\approx0.5422\text{ or } x\approx 3.4577[/tex]

So, the ball is 30 feet above the ground after 0.54 seconds and 3.46 seconds.

And we're done :)

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. m=-5 (5,7)

Answers

Answer:

y = -5x + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write in known variables

slope m = -5

y = -5x + b

Step 2: Find b

7 = -5(5) + b

7 = -25 + b

b = 32

Step 3: Write linear equation

y = -5x + 32

Answer:

y - 7 = -5(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pre-Solving

We are given that a line has a slope of -5 and contains the point (5,7).

We want to write the equation of this line.

The equation of this line can be written in three ways:

Point-slope form, which is [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex], where m is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point.Standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients. Slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y at the y intercept.

Either one of these ways works, but let's use point-slope form, as that form is the easiest.

Solving

We can immediately substitute the values into the formula to get the equation.

We can start with the slope; replace m with -5 in the formula.

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] => [tex]y-y_1=-5(x-x_1)[/tex]

Now, we can replace [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] with 5 and 7 respectively to get:

y - 7 = -5(x - 5)

How many ways can 4 men and 4 women be selected

The keyword in the question is SELECTION and it means COMBINATION;

So, number of selection is:

[tex]Number = Men * Women[/tex]

[tex]Number = ^7C_4 * ^{11}C_4[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Number = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!4!} * \frac{11!}{(11-4)!4!}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{7!}{3!4!} * \frac{11!}{7!4!}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5 * 4!}{3!4!} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7!}{7!4!}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{3!} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4!}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{3 * 2 * 1} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]Number = \frac{7 * 6 * 5}{6} * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 7 * 5 * \frac{11 * 10 * 9 * 8}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 7 * 5 * \frac{7920}{24}[/tex]

[tex]Number = 7 * 5 * 330[/tex]
